So glad I haven’t updated to iOS 18 and stuck to my rule about staying an OS behind. I’m planning to reorganize some folders on my phone, and with the iOS 18 bug with not being able to move apps into folders … well, I’d be out that ability. All of my apps are in folders. Oh, I know, all the security issues when not updating. … Still, I want to be able to do what I need to do with my phone, and I don’t care about Apple intelligence in the least. I just want my phone to operate correctly. So, there’s really no need for me to update. Version 17.7.2 seems to be doing the job admirably. I find it interesting that iCloud backups are backward compatible for several previous iOS versions, so I must not be the only person on the planet using an older OS. Good for us. 🤔

I say all this because I want to offer moral support to those who have older i devices, and/or who choose not to update for whatever reason. I’m sure there are more of us than most people think. It certainly is that way with Windows, so why should iOS be any different?

Also not sure if this bug is specific to Voiceover users or not, but since I’m a Voiceover user, I care very much about it. I’ll happily be staying right here in iOS 17 until September 2025.
