Many iPhone users wait for the new iOS update from Apple but it seems the latest version has brought some downgrades in their performance. A new report claims most people who have installed the iOS 18 update since September 2024 have faced connectivity issues which range from call drops to their iPhone’s battery draining faster.

The survey from LocalCircles this month suggests iPhone users are not entirely happy with the latest iOS 18 update and the same is the case if they have installed the iOS 18.1 or the 18.2 version on their devices.

New iOS Update, Old Issues Persist

The survey says that 6 out of 10 iPhone users are noticing network and call drop issues in the country. The report includes responses from over 45,000 users, so the sample size is definitely worth your attention. Apple might not feel that 60 percent is a big share of its user base but nevertheless, call drops have always been a concern in the country and it seems the iPhone users are facing the issue which also impacts the battery life of their device.

The network issues mean your OTT apps like WhatsApp or Signal cannot be used for making calls, as the performance makes it hard to use these apps for calls.

These people are mostly blaming the iOS 18 update for these issues and we are hoping that Apple does eventually fix them with the future iOS 18 versions. However, it is worth pointing out that such issues are quite common if they are using the beta versions iOS 18 which is highly advised against running on primary devices.

The good news for Apple is that 9 out of the 10 people questioned in this survey have upgraded their iPhones to the iOS 18 version which is usually a strong point for the company. Speaking of which, the iOS 18.3 update should be rolling out in the next few weeks and we are keen to see if these people see any improvements with the issues they have highlighted in the report.
