Nice! I'm watching the Keynote now

This post has been edited by attw: Jun 5 2018, 08:29 PM

need waze on Apple Car Play

really hope 12 corrects 11's bugs. waiting for Public beta.

anyone here on Developer beta?

Anyone with the beta, do update on battery performance. I can see alot of Apple service enabled background based on the keynote..
Thanks

Sigh, dark mode for macOS looks so cool... if only...

Would be cool to have it for iOS especially those amoled device right? + power saving feature

On iOS 12, i like the do not disturb, and notification too. And the memoji looks nice at least not creepy.
and watchOS is like a poison to me getting one loL.

well developer beta just released like hours ago and people are still exploring the new features, so hopefully it is featured in.

how bout split screen app?

So here's what I like so far...

- Group FaceTime
- Third Party Nav support on CarPlay
- Screen time (wife complains I spend too much time with my phone and she's right, haha)

I also can't wait to see how older devices (like my mum's iPhone 5S and my son's iPad Mini 2) get quicker with iOS 12 as claimed.

It's phenomenal the 6 year old 5s will still be supported. Kudos to Apple.

I was hoping for that back in ios 11 but recently think its not so much a must have. I don't see my friend with the S9 using it that much. How about you guys? Anyone current/ previous owners used split screen a lot?

Same here. Happy my spare 5S still getting love. Only hope no lag or anything.

One more important feature - notifications are going to be grouped. Finally. Correct me if I am wrong.

The new camera features kinda like the Google/ Pixel right?

I'm loving the performance of iOS 12, even it's the first beta I can feel the significant improvement on my iPhone 7.

You got the Developer beta?

Yes. Anyone can update to iOS 12 providing you have the developer profile installed on your phone. Google for it.

so far so good for me. quite impressive for a dev beta. feels like an actual release of iOS. as far as i know there are no lags, no bug i have encounter and the batt life is decent.

will continue to monitor it for now

resisting 12 and 11. 10.3.3 is the bestest wahahaahahaha

Group notifications is cool too, yeah. For me Animoji and Memoji isn't really a big draw

Which iPhone running iOS 12 bro?

This post has been edited by attw: Jun 6 2018, 01:52 PM

got iOS 12 on my old backup iPhone 5S

Will update here for anything related

When Apple new iOS is made available to older devices, it makes using a iPhone or iPad value for $.

Group notification is really a thing there which interest me most

Of course! Navigation for Apple Carplay why not!

iphone x.

th portrait mode also slightly improved. now i dont get my beard all blurred out like last time lol

Group facetime

How’s the speed?

faster than iOS 11.

Unlocking, opening up camera app, etc

Finally Google Maps and Waze are coming to Apple Carplay.
Hope other third party app can be used on Apple Carplay too.

That is good news

It’s been a positive experience so far in terms of speed and stability. Disappointed no dark mode but temporarily using smart invert to get the dark mode even though not actual system dark mode.

I guess Apple got it right this time, focus on reliability and stability, and not features.

is it comparable to 10.3? in terms of responsiveness and speed?

Even on a 1st beta, 12 is faster than 11.4. Few videos on uTube on this.

its 2018 and people still discussing here? wtf

i’m a New Member even i am registered 10 years ago??? justice please, treat me as otai la...

You just answered your own question right there, ha ha...

Not much difference for Beta 1 on iPhone 5s, but still faster.

sorry for late reply

I would say 10.3 was faster and more responsive compared to iOS 12 beta.

But this still being on beta, i won't conclude just yet

Currently my Ip6S still with 11.3, battery drain very fast. May I know how to switch back to 10.3

I don't think that's an available option anymore. Best try updating to 11.4. How's your battery wear level?

Try 11.4, but your batt issues should be hardware related not iOS.

How about support for local apps like grab,boost,fave etc
Do they work with iOS12.getting ready to upgrade to iOS12 when public beta is released but scared that a lot of apps won’t be supported/crash

Most feedback and reviews I read so far says the 12 beta is one of the more stable ones, but if you’re worried about it and the phone is your primary device, maybe don’t go ahead with it

wouldn't recommend you to try on your prime phone.. i've seen some people in youtube ranting about app crash on ios 12..

I had installed ios11 public beta on my main device.its ok except certain local apps will crash or become unusable haha

You mean ios12 beta right?

Haha I mean last year I installed ios11 public beta.sorry for the confusion

Ah OK. Then I think you'll know what to expect

beta 2 is out today. just install the ios 12 beta 2. so far so good. will update later on

That's pretty fast. Since there's not much new features and the beta is quite stable, it'd be good to get iOS 12 earlier, but I'm sure Apple will traditionally wait till September.

Never got any kind of crash on my 7 Plus iOS12b2. Idk if its just a placebo but my phone is snappier. Really fast compared to iOS11
Battery wise, more or less the same as 11.4. Morning 6am 100%,evening around 6 left 40%. LTE always on and heavy whatsapp,surfing

I’m noticing that the screen time function have a bug, disabled app limit and downtime but it still disables my apps that I didn’t whitelist at a random time sometimes the phone would crash(respring) and my apps wont be available(even entering screen time passcode doesn’t work) until I hard reset my iPhone. This started happening in beta 2 where I had the screen time function enabled. Anyone else facing this issue? iPhone 7 beta 2

That’s pretty good for a beta release!

iOS 12 Public Beta is out now!

https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/25/17500504...gs-iphone-apple

Do note that if you want to update to the public beta, make sure you have back up all your data. Recommended to use update if you have a spare apple device.

Have you installed the beta, bro? How are the new features? Group FaceTime for example, or the new notifications?

Updated to iOS12 public beta so far so good
Local apps such as Boost,Grab,Fave,itrade cimb still usable without any issues
Much better compared to ios11 public beta when so many apps crashed

Yup, I'm on developer version but roughly the same as the public beta without the bugs addressed.

Haven't tried group facetime cause not a lot of my friends use iOS devices.

What I'm liking is the group notification and how smoother it is than iOS 11 even on my older iP5S

So tempted to go public beta

Yeah, thinking of that too now that my 8 Plus is a secondary device

i think all that on the fence about ios12 should upgrade. im using it with my primary phone and its loads better than the previous update.

the face id is a tad quicker, animation improved a bit, battery life seems to be pretty decent, and loads of new stuff like custom animoji, group facetime, measure apps (for augmented reality) etc.

thou experience might be vary. personally for myself im very satisfy with the outcome. thou i really wish for dark mode to be a reality... but well....

Will wait for PB3 reviews before taking the leap of faith

Just to report back that I’ve upgraded to the public beta ios12. Half day and going , no issues yet. Group notifications is good. Didn’t notice much battery drain

Anyone having GPS locking issue on iOS12 PB?

This post has been edited by EdwinCodec: Jun 29 2018, 01:59 PM

found a bug. receive phone call, but no where to swipe! lol! my phone vibrates, watch too.. but phone does't show anything. All looks like normal idle mode.. @@

Has the bug been resolved?

Went away during second time, anyway reverted back to ios11.4. hehe

I no longer faced the issue on the latest Developer's/PB release.

What’s the latest PB release now?

Latest version available is Public Beta 2, which is the same build as Developer Beta 3. It's just that Developer Beta usually being released few days ahead.

Ok, great. Thanks for the info.

September is still such a long wait!

Anybody using the latest iOS 12 public beta together with the latest watch OS 4.3.1?

beta 4 is out already. got to install it last night. some minor tweaks and the biggest difference is the animation feels snappy and faster... aggressive too...

How is the battery life? Which iPhone are you on? Think of taking a leap of faith. Can't wait till September

Only incremental improvements bro, patience

Haha every morning when i see a few hundred whatsapp notifications, I can’t help to wonder how would this be in iOS 12

Hahaha - good point. I have a couple of colleagues still on iPhone 6 Plus and they can't wait for iOS 12 for obvious reasons

well let me put this way.

fully charged on saturday (21/07/2018) at 7.30pm and today is monday (23/07/2018) at 2.00pm got another around 23%

my usage:
for those 2 day around 50% of social media 30% of games and 20% of surfing.

im using iphone x.

whoa... A11 is really efficient...

This is pretty amazing. You're on the public beta, or the developer's beta?

im on dev beta.

anyways i got intense today so im going to separate my usage in hours.

im at 30% and my full charge cycle is around 11.30pm yesterday.

what i can see over here right now, ive been using my iphone for almost 5 hours in total:

1. 4 hours 20 minutes for social networking
2. 15 minutes for games
3. 1 minute for reading and references

IOS 12 screen time lets me see how long ive been using my iphone and i got to say its freaking awesome feature.


so 5 hours non stop and still have around 30% of battery life. is it good? is it not? u guys decide for urself


oh and if anyone asking, im on iphone x

This post has been edited by g3n0c|d3: Jul 24 2018, 03:24 PM

cool iphone x, i hope iphone 8 plus also can get this awesome battery life

Theoretically the iPhone 8 Plus battery should last longer than the X, but based on my usage for both, they are about the same.

Any difference between Dev Beta and Public Beta? Public beta should be slightly bug-less right?

mine is iphone 8+ on public beta

5hr 33mins screen time

42% left

96% on game. yes, its my gaming phone

From my reading, latest Public Beta 3 is the same build as Developer Beta 4

actually X battery larger. iPhone 8 Plus 2691 mAH, iPhone X 2716 mAH. slightly bigger capacity.



X screen size also slightly larger. X is 5.8-inch while 8 Plus 5.5-inch

This post has been edited by firdausbhari: Jul 25 2018, 06:11 PM

True, but I’ve read most reviews and test results that confirm the 8 Plus edges the X in battery life comparisons.

This post has been edited by attw: Jul 25 2018, 06:26 PM

Maybe due to the OLED screen since iOS is mostly still white-themed and the higher pixel count of the ipx display ~ 32% more than ip8+.

Yes most prolly that, dont forget Face ID might zap some batt as well compared to touch ID.

Installing PB3 now. *Fingers Crossed*

Yeah, I think it's more of the pixel count rather than the OLED

Nice! Do feedback and let us know how it went!

First impression, oh my the speed! Loving the grouped notifications, but it gets grouped after awhile, would love to see it grouped immediately.

Noticed 1 bug so far, FB scrolling is laggy.

upgraded IOS 12, the phone now very very smooth.
finding what is the special ios12 compare to ios 11

Yes very smooth. Look about it on YouTube so many video on iOS 12
