So, for those of us stuck on outmoded notchless technology, we still get iOS12, available right now. NOW. DROP EVERYTHING AND INSTALL.
The Screen Time is the most interesting feature to me. Right now I'm not setting any limits, but I will be viewing the data with interest and maybe start setting some limits for myself and my daughter once I understand where we're starting from. What else is good in iOS12? |

I'm a bit disappointed that my iPhone 6 doesn't get the measure app. I'm assuming it's only for a 7 and above? I can't find any documentation for it, but that's one thing I'd love to be an easy feature on my phone. Unless I'm missing something about it and am just blind to it (I did do a search for it on the phone).

Craig didn't lie about performance improvements. It breathed new life into my iPad mini 2, which is getting rather old but lags a lot less in 12. (ars also did testing on this.)
For my iPhone 8, it isn't that big a deal. Stuff like password autofill improvements is nice. For developer folks like me, it's also nice to know that they fixed issues in WebAssembly. |

(Honestly, I haven't found Measure to work that reliably. Still feels more like a tech demo and less like a real-world useful tool. The basketball demo they did was interesting, though.) |

My 6s does feel snappier, and they managed to free up some storage space too, which was nice for those of us still on 16GB devices.

They've made improvements in 11 (such as offloading), but I feel they need to make the system more modular. |

I can relate to that, only it was almost worse. I had space on the phone, over 1GB, it just kept saying installer unverified or something along those lines. So time to try with iTunes. Now, even with fully up to date iTunes and Mac OS 11.4, it wanted to update something in iTunes, or Mac OS, or the phone (wouldn’t tell me which), then it downloaded something and said,”iTunes cannot be running during this installation”. iTunes closes, installs something then nothing. Had to manually relaunch iTunes to proceed with the update. The entire process took 30 minutes from when this all started to when iOS 12 was loaded on the iPhone. The iOS installer download and install time was less than 8 minutes of that.
