I set iOS 26 to install overnight, put my iPhone 16 Pro on the MagSafe charger, watched it charge just fine, and went to sleep. When I woke up the iPhone showed the “plug into power” dead battery screen. I took it off MagSafe and put it back on. A half hour later the phone was warm but still wouldn’t power on, just showed the battery screen with a little red in it. I took it off MagSafe and plugged it into my iPad charging brick with USB cable to give it more power, still it did not turn on. I tried holding all the buttons to try to force a restart but didn’t work.
For anyone else encountering this, do this to enter DFU mode and restore it. I had to do it a few times before I got the timing right.
Plug into your Mac and open Finder (or apparently a PC with Apple Devices or iTunes)
Press and quickly release volume up
Press and quickly release volume down
Press and hold right side button
When the battery disappears and screen goes black, hold volume down and continue holding side button
After a couple seconds release the side button and continue holding volume down
A prompt to allow connecting to the iPhone should appear after a couple seconds, click Allow, and it’ll say the iPhone entered DFU mode - proceed to restore the firmware

I am writing to report an issue encountered while testing the iOS 26 beta. It appears that adding VPN configurations is currently not possible in this version.
Specifically, attempts to add a new VPN configuration through the Settings app or via programmatic configuration profiles are unresponsive.
As VPN functionality is essential for a number of development and enterprise use cases, I would appreciate it if your team could confirm whether this is a known issue, or provide guidance on any changes to VPN configuration handling in iOS 26.
Please let me know if additional diagnostic information or logs would be helpful.
Thank you for your support and for providing access to the iOS 26 beta.
Best regards,
Majid

Why must you make changes just for the sake of changing? We have a saying here - that came directly from when you changed the (then) iPhoto software so that we could no longer use the super-convenient feature of being able to print as many copies of a photo on a page - N'up with dat?
This is when Apple just changes things that users love - for no apparent reason.
ios 18: rearranging all the albums in Photos - WHY?
ios 18: removing heavily used views in Calendar - WHY?
ios 18: Spanglish? WHY?
ios 18: nearly impossible to stop an alarm - WHY?
Please keep the security and other updates happening - but stop f'ing with the things that users use and love...without any reason whatsoever!
N'up with dat???

I have developed three apps using the Screen Time API. The following are common problems I encountered in the three apps:
DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is automatically killed after running for a few days (frequently)
The same DeviceActivityEvent in DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is triggered twice during eventDidReachThreshold (especially obvious in iOS18.5)
Screen Time authorization is automatically canceled for no reason (occasionally)
I hope to get help
I have an iPhone 14 with iOS 18 installed on which I noticed the vibration no longer works. The haptic feedback setting is set to "Always on", I have no vibration on notifications, nor on incoming calls and the keyboard feedback does not work either.
I also noticed another strange thing: going to the ringtones menu, these do not play if I select them to try them.
I tried to update to iOS 18.1 but
even with this version I have the same problem. Could it therefore be a hardware problem and not a software problem?
Is anyone else having the same problem as me?
Thanks
Dear Apple Developer Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm seeking guidance regarding an issue with my Apple Developer account and the future status of my app.
Issue Summary:
Account Status: My Apple Developer account has been locked (cannot be used) without any clear reason. Despite contacting both Apple Support and Apple Developer Support, I haven't received a workable solution to regain access.
App Status: Currently, my mobile app remains visible and downloadable on the Apple App Store.
Concerns:
Future of the App: I'm concerned about the future availability of my app. I've heard that apps associated with locked or inactive developer accounts might be archived or removed after a certain period. Is this accurate? If so, what is the typical timeframe for such actions?
Similar Experiences: Has anyone in the community encountered a similar situation with their developer account being locked and cannot be used? If so, were you able to resolve it, and how?
I appreciate any insights or advice from those who have faced similar challenges or have knowledge in this area. Your assistance would be invaluable in helping me navigate this situation.

After the last OS26 developer beta update the watch series 6 battery drains fast, in less than two hours life. I visited Apple Store , they said the battery was dead so I had to buy new watch series 10
The same issue happened in the new watch, the battery meter shows 50% after 1 hour
Right now I’ve downgraded my update version to beta 11 until I can find a solution

Hello! I really need someone's help!
At the end of August, I accepted the changes to the financial agreement. For some reason, this led to the re-processing of the banking information in my account in the AppStoreConnect.
And now, for two and a half months, I have been seeing a message in the "Business" section of the AppStoreConnect:
"Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then."
And now I can't change this information or add another bank account.
During all this time, Apple did not attempt to make payments to this bank account and my money just hung up without being able to withdraw it.
I tried to contact financial support several times, but all my requests went unanswered. Here is the ID of the last request, if it somehow speeds up the search for a solution: Case-ID: 10193100
Do you have any ideas what the problem might be and how I can fix this situation?
Thanks!
I am having some serious issues with all of my music apps on the latest beta of iPadOS 18.3.
when I try to open them , the splash page pops open , freezes then crashes.
i can open Logic Pro and it opens fine, but if I try to open a project with any of my third party music apps in that project, Logic gives me an error message stating that it can’t access coremidi. It gives me the option to continue and then proceeds to play the project without issue, with all of the third party apps functioning within Logic. If I try to open a third party program outside of Logic ( that just played in Logic) the 3rd party app crashes.
Anyone else having issues with their 3rd party music apps? I have never had so many apps in a particular genre that just wouldn’t function in any of the recent betas.
It's months that I try to enroll to the developer program... They write me that they need more documents but they don't say which ones! If I write back they don't answer.
If I try to contact support:
The call me back option doesn't accept any number mobile or landline and the error message refers to wrong email instead of number: "This email address isn't valid. To update your email address, visit appleid.apple.com."
The email form has the right email address but if I clic send it kind of stuck there, I don't receive replys nor confirmation of delivery.
How can I contact support?
«Hello everyone, after installing iOS 26, I noticed that on my iPhone 13 Pro, which had its battery replaced, the battery status in the settings shows 0%, and the phone does not charge more than 1%, no matter how long I leave it plugged in. The same problem is observed on iPhones 14 and lower where the battery (FB18154101) was replaced.»

When attempting to use apple promotional offers for subscriptions I consistently receive the popup that says "Offer Not Available" for both production and sandbox. Without offer code purchase working fine. I have verified the App Store Connect setup and client side code and even created new offer codes also, but I have hit a dead end.
Error:- (Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x280dbb0f0 {Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3904 "Offer Not Available" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offer Not Available}}})
Can someone confirm this is supposed to be happening after all these years. I have noticed that now when I delete the messages from my Apple Watch (IOS11) they are now deleting from my phone (IOS18). I was glad I noticed and was able to recover them but I almost lost some impoRyan messages. I did do a test and confirm this is true. But the question is, is this supposed to be happening and if so is there a way to disable only this sync? I like to try and keep the messages icon on the watch clean since when I read the messag on my phone it does sync read on the watch and leaves the unread number on the icon.
Hello,
Can anyone tell me what this means? Or if it's normal?
I'm seeing about 10% battery drain per day on sleep, and pmset -g log shows wakes nearly every minute.

Hello everyone,
Since iOS 18, there has been an issue where it’s not possible to set up custom IMAP accounts using one’s own domain. However, IMAP accounts from providers like Strato or other hosting services work without any problems.
When will Apple finally resolve this issue?
Is there already a solution for the problem?
Disabling "Tracking IP" under Wi-Fi Settings doesn’t help.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Mail app also doesn’t resolve the issue.
Thank you for your help.
It would be nice if someone from Apple could comment on this matter. Thank you very much!

since updating from 18.3 to 18.4, both on cellular and WiFi Networks I can’t connect to the internet.
Since the phone wont connect to the internet I’m not able to turn off “find my iPhone“ to restore my iPhone to iOS 18.3
this way my iPhone is useless
any ideas / thoughts about this?
So I downloaded and installed iOS26 on my iPhone 15 Pro and after that it does not want to boot anymore. It shows a battery with one red line. Which is weird because before it restarted it had 80% of the battery and I had the power cable connected at all time. Now I can't boot it up anymore. Not even with the volume button up, down, power button trick. Please help!
Since updating to iOS 18.4 the auto-lock on iPhone 16 Pro isn’t functioning. All settings remain unchanged from previous versions, however the display will not turn off.
Same iOS on my older iPhone 11 doesn’t have the issue and screen turns off as usual with the same system settings.
Have tried a force restart on the 16 Pro, nothing changed. Any ideas?
