Urgent warning to all iPhone users not to download newest iOS 18 update or risk crippling consequences

All iPhone users have been warned not to download Apple's latest update - or risk crashing their smartphones or apps. Developers have been testing iOS 18 beta since Monday, uncovering bugs with text notifications, battery life, photos saving and the new'Lock and Hide an app' feature - among others. While the beta version is meant for such trials, average users are taking risks by downloading it as their main software. 'People wanting to download iOS 18 be warned - it will be buggy, it might brick your iPhone and certain apps may not work with it,' one developer shared on X. 'Be warned - it's a beta for a reason.' Early testers of Apple's new iOS 18 beta have found a trove of bugs in less than 24 hours after the tech giant unveiled the software Monday afternoon.
