iPhone users SLAM the Apples's new iOS 18 software update

Apple rolled out iOS 18 this week , dubbed the iPhone 's 'biggest upgrade in history' But early downloaders have taken to social media to slam the new operating system.

Users claim that the update's customisation options have made their iPhones more difficult to use thanks to 'clunky and weird' design choices.

The redesigned Photos app has been the target of particular frustration, with one calling it 'one of the worst designs Apple has ever released'.

However, this sudden drop in charging capacity is to be expected as updating the software will trigger a number of processes in the background which can draw a lot of power. It may take hours or even days for software changes to finalise, which means that battery life will fluctuate after installing the update. For those who are not daunted by the potential issues, iPhone users can download iOS 18 by navigating to Settings , selecting General and Software Updates. Next, simply follow the onscreen instructions to finish downloading the latest software..
