Apple has today released iOS 18.0.1, iPadOS 18.0.1, macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, and watchOS 11.0.1; bringing bug fixes for a small number of issues identified after last month's software releases.
As iOS 18.0.1, iPadOS 18.0.1, macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, and watchOS 11.0.1 were not distributed to external testers prior to their release, we do not have any information on whether they contain fixes for VoiceOver or braille at the time of writing. However, as these updates appear to have been released to address a small number of specific issues, we do not expect them to contain any VoiceOver or braille fixes.
If you do identify any regressions or improvements for VoiceOver or braille in your use of iOS 18.0.1, iPadOS 18.0.1, macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, and watchOS 11.0.1, we would greatly appreciate it if you would post details of your findings in the comments.
