Apple users already fed up with iOS 18 for being a cheater’s paradise

They think iOS 18 is a POS.

Apple’s highly-anticipated iOS 18 has received app-ocalyptic online reviews since its Monday debut. Many techies have slammed the so-called “biggest upgrade in history” for making it easier for philandering partners to cheat and also for having an unusable photo function that made them “want to throw up,” among other pitfalls.

“iOS18 Is a downgrade,” concluded one disillusioned user on X.

When Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled the iPhone 16 operating system last week, iPhone lovers were astonished at the cutting-edge features, most notably the generative AI capabilities dubbed Apple Intelligence that allowed for a smarter Siri, customized emojis and more.

However, many grew suspicious of the new function that allows users to lock and hide apps on their home screen. While this feature was designed to safeguard sensitive info, detractors feared that it would allow unfaithful significant others to commit adultery with one X critic declaring, “iOS 18 update, was designed by a cheater for sure.”

“iOS 18 and new iPhones are gonna make these birds cheat like a mf…this is crazy. Relationships are dead,” another fumed.

“iOS 18 trying to convert diehard android men who cheat to iPhones,” a third joked.

Equally reviled was the new photo app, which one user labeled “one of the worst designs Apple has ever released.”

Many didn’t take kindly to the simplified “single view” with a huge photo grid and a “collections” menu which allows users to peruse their pic compendium by theme.

“iOS 18’s photo app change makes me overall want to throw up,” wrote another. “Getting rid of the scrubbing in full-screen videos, not previewing photos and videos in full screen off the bat, ugly one page for everything meaning you have to scroll relentlessly…it’s just BAD.”

A third said, “The new Photos app in iOS 18 is clunky and weird. I hate it. Just feels unnecessarily complicated and you have to navigate so much to do simple things.

Many critics also hated the much-hyped control center function that lets users customize and resize home page app icons and buttons.

While ostensibly designed to give the user more creative freedom, many iPhone buffs found it far too convoluted.

“Whoever designed the iOS 18 control center should be fired it is not user-friendly at all,” declared one.

Coincidentally, shares of Apple fell nearly 3% on Monday after several analysts claimed that delivery times for the new iPhone 16 Pro models indicated weaker-than-expected demand.

Some techsperts attributed the lack of clamor to the delayed rollout of key artificial intelligence features.

“The major selling point, Apple Intelligence, is not available at launch alongside the iPhone 16 release,” said Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst at TF International Securities, said in a blogpost.
