Thanks for your reaction. I posted feedback through their Feedback Assistent (FB24905902). Travis from Apple seems to be active on this forum, hopefully he can shine some light on it. Ps. What is the link to your post?

Hi Travis, First of all, thank you for your time to answer my questions. Really appreciate it. A few follow up notes: As far as I know the occlusions do not include the notch on the iPhone 18 or the home indicator. The status bar occlusion is active even though the status bar is hidden with .statusBar(hidden: true).

Thanks Travis, here is the Enhancement Request: FB24878820. Let me know if I need to do anything more from my part.

+1 this comment. This worked for me. (Luckily) I connected my iPhone through USB-C to my MacBook. I quickly pressed Volume Up, Volume Down, and Hold the Side button until it became dark. I then hold the Volume Down button and released the Side button after 5 seconds while continue holding the Volume Down button. If you again see the battery on screen you have not counted properly and was holding it to long. I then hold the Volume Down button until my MacBook detected the iPhone in DFU.

I see more people experiencing this issue coming in. Hopefully there will be an easy fix for this because I've tried everything: Hard reset (volume up, down, power button) did not word Holding volume down (or up) and power did not work. Changing usb charging cable did not work. Wireless charging did not work. Connecting it to my MacBook Pro did not work. If you find something please share.
