I hope this fixes the delayed notification bug. It's really annoying that notifications like authenticator take 5-7 seconds longer to show up.

I'm still on iOS 17. Previously iOS 18 was offered as opt-in option. Now iOS 18.1.1 is placed on the foreground and 17.7.2 update is hidden somewhere below. You need to scroll down, to know iOS 17 update is available at all.

The article says the release notes say this update has security fixes, not bug fixes generally. Are the bugs noted above security related? If not, you probably shouldn’t get your hopes up.

Would be really cool if they released iPhoneOS 18.1.1 so we could use it on our iPhones.
It's here for me.
