So, who else recently got offered an iOS 18 update on their iPhone that was already running iOS 18? I did, and I installed the update, after which I saw the “Hello" welcome screen again and then got prompted to enable Stolen Device Protection. Weird.

(And, no, I never ran any of the iOS 18 betas.)

@siracusa I got that on my new phone, but i did run the betas on my old 14 pro? Only the 18 beta, and my old phone was at 18 GM, when I upgraded to the 16 Pro. I never used the 18.1 beta.
