iOS 12

[anonymous-user]

just downloading it to iphone 6s

I got it on my 6+ yesterday morning. Apart from a slight hiccup with carplay (now fixed) it's good, bug-free and quick.

Seems good on my iPhone SE that could do with a new battery

How long does it take to download iOS 12 because I started the download process on my wife's iPhone about 30 mins ago and it's stating the ETA is 2 hours!

Put it onto my x no real difference, would putting it onto an original ipad Air speed it up a bit do we think?

It might do but I tried updating our iPad Mini and was told we are running the most up-to-date version, which I think means older models aren't supported any more. Is a subtle hint to go out and buy a shiny new one!

My 2nd hand 5S works perfectly well for me so will hold off updating until such time that it is essential but by that time i expect my phone wont accept it, a full charge of the battery lasts between 48-60hrs depending on how much I use it so all good

Just updated my 6 to IOS 12 and many apps are opening as quickly as they do on my 8.
Actually impressed!

Oddly enough, was looking at this yesterday, as old kit goes to various family members, resulting in upgrades here. My old old Mini is now well overdue an upgrade for my Mum, but the MIni 4 I got to replace it doesnt actually have an upgrade path, so she's out of luck. Roll on the Mini 5, says her

One new feature I like, timed DND from the home screen. You can set the phone to silent for a time period or "until I leave this place". That's one thing I really missed when I swapped from Android.

I updated my iPhone 10 and noticed the display was much "brighter" for the same display settings which is a bit odd; I checked the Macrumors forum and there is a thread running with similar complaints that the screen looks washed out and the white point setting appears to have changed (not that I fully understand that...).

[Sheetmaself]

The first thought i had about my X was that it looked washed out, but i had just changed my screensaver so assumed it was this.

Screen time is interesting

She may have a long wait! 3 years so far since the 4 was released and most sites suggest that sources say it’s unlikely to be replaced.

Changing tne keybpisitions of the bottom left two keys.
Pointless and irritaing to keep pressing tne wrong key.

Takes longer to get to control panel settings such as text size.

It does seem to have resolved my intermittanyly non responsive touch screen.
So that’s good (just hit that wrong key again looking for the ‘ chatachter ...and again!

I wonder if the keyboard thing is an inhouse joke by apple.
Not the first time they have done this.

According to Wikipedia the original iPad Mini released Nov 2012 support upto iOS9 so 6 years isn't bad going to be fair.

FWIW I'm sure I read iOS12 should be available on all devices that supported iOS 11 so nothing will be becoming obsolete for now.

From Apple “Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than 7 years ago.“

Original iPad mini is not supported in iOS12

Just upgraded my 5SE, all went quickly enough. Not quite sure what has changed, will do some searching. It all appears to be working well, no bugs found yet.

Seems remarkable, but it does genuinely make older devices quicker. Not very Apple at all!

(tried on my 7 and Son's 6).

That's because Apple were well and truly caught out slowing devices down without telling users, and now they are trying to make amends
