Just joined the beta bandwagon, had to do a setting reset because my notification center font is too huge, my settings is set to small. Overall the experience is smooth, been running it for 24 hours now.

I beg to differ on this, i find iOS 12 a step forward in the correct direction for Apple. Simplicity at its best.

Yeah, the focus was on refining the faults if the 11 and not on introducing new features, hence everyone is slamming the lack of "innovation". Maybe Apple should have had a release 11.5 for all these and something revolutionary for 12.

In all fairness though, there was nothing much of note in Android P as well.

well, still got some updates here and there in android P.
ios 12 on the other hand feels almost the same to ios 12. except for the group notification. I hope imessaging got new effects at least.

i personally dont feel anything new about ios12. some minor changes and not too extravagant. the focus is on the stability and i admit this is the most stable IOS that i have ever encountered. from the get go the focus of ios12 is for stability (and power saving in the process...)

well yeah not much innovation on iOS 12 but i appreciate the gesture for them to make it as stable as it can be. but that's just me.

Anyone unfortunate enough to update to B7 or PB6?

DB7 was pulled back by Apple, no?

Don’t think PB6 got released yet.

I think the best bit about iOS 12 is that it speeds up older devices. I'm just looking forward to see how much difference it will make in my mum's iPhone 5S

I did some searching on youtube, turns out ip6 will benefit more than ip5s in terms of performance.

Weird. soc A7 and A8 aren't that different in terms of CPU. only got huge upgrade in GPU

Yes i know. That’s why i asked anyone unfortunate enough to update before they pulled back.

No Group FaceTime at launch

Minor setback for me. Majority of people around me are apple haters, so in reality I have very few facetime contacts lol.

Sadly same for iMessage as well in Malaysia.

I'm kinda looking forward to seeing Group FT though, since my family members are all using i-devices and we FT quite a bit. Anyways I guess there are some bugs in it that need ironing out, which is why they have delayed it.

how's the quality between FT and WhatsApp video?

FT much better.

thanks for your valued feedback

I concur. He quality of FaceTime video calls is far better compared to WhatsApp.

yeah, done the test last night. the quality is way better than whatsapp videocall...no blocky video during call.
