Apple has released iOS 12 for download. The best news: Your iPhone and iPad will be faster!
With the iOS 12 version, Apple has concentrated especially on optimizing the system and getting the best out of the existing hardware. And as we were able to determine in a short test so far, this was very successful. This will especially please users of older hardware. iOS 12 runs on all hardware that also supports iOS 11. These are iPhones from the 5s and iPads from the Air and mini 2. The iPad touch is included from the sixth generation. As Apple users, we can once again be pleased that the latest software is available for devices that have not been sold for years.
In addition to the speed increase, which alone would be a reason to be happy, Apple has also packed a few new ones into the current operating system. The first thing is Screen Time, which logs how much time you spend with your iPhone. That will be a bit more today, as long as you are still in the trial phase, but altogether a good step to monitor your own relationship to the technology. The extended “Don’t Disturb” features, which are supposed to simplify a separation from the constant online presence, fit in well with this.
But also the future is not neglected: there is now Memoij on the newer iPhones, the Augmented Reality capabilities have been extended and Siri can now be better adapted to personal circumstances with shortcuts. Perhaps the most practical in everyday life of this new iOS version. So have fun with this update that brings new features and a better performance! The download size for the 5s is about 1.36 GB, for the newer model about 1.5 GB.
