We've rounded up all the launch news for iOS 12 next month: Release Date, New Features, and Which iPhones and iPads May Launch the New OS for 2018
iOS 12, next version iOS-Operating System that works on all iPhones and iPads - will hit Apple devices in the fall of 2018 and we've seen preview him at WWDC 2018 on June 4th.
But what does it offer in terms of performance, interface changes, and new features? When will it be released? How does this compare to iOS 11? And what iPads and iPhones can run it? We'll cover all the launch details in this article.
IOS updates are initially rolled out into beta or pre-release test versions. Official version follows after.
The first beta of iOS 12 for developers was made available after the WWDC keynote, but as the name suggests, it was only for registered developers. Members of the public had to wait until June 25 when the public beta was available for download.
Both beta versions have received fairly regular updates since their release, as we outline below.
The final public launch of iOS 12.0 will take place in the fall - we will know on what date it arrives during Apple's keynote speech on special event 12-th of September. Based on dates from past years, we assume that he will arrive on September 19. (In 2017, the keynote was September 12, and the software was September 19).
Latest iOS 12 Beta
Ever since Apple revealed its plans for iOS 12 during the WWDC keynote, the company has released different versions iOS beta 12 for developers and the public. These updates included some new features and removed others.
June 4 - iOS 12 Developer Beta 1 was released to developers shortly after Apple's WWDC keynote and was the first opportunity to try out the new features coming in iOS 12.
June 26 - iOS 12 Developer Beta 2 came out a few weeks after the first beta. One of the most notable changes in this update means that when users browse iPhone-only apps on iPad, they will see the iPhone 6 version of the app, rather than outdated version iPhone 4 as it was. There were also screen time changes (where you find various settings to limit and manage the amount of time spent on the iPhone), changes to the battery information section (including activity broken down into one-hour slots rather than three hours), and the Podcast App indicates which chapter is currently playing.
Jul 30 - iOS 12 Developer Beta 5 arrived alongside the fourth public beta and suggested some changes to the wallpaper (previously there were saturation complaints). Battery health data that has been in beta since iOS 11.3 is out of beta (although it's only from beta to beta), and there have been hints regarding HomePod that offer phone call Support will be arriving at Apple Smart Speaker.
August 13 - iOS 12 Developer Beta 7 appeared (briefly). Apple then pulled out iOS 12 developer beta 7 shortly thereafter due to performance issues amid complaints that it walled up some test devices(for this very reason, we do not recommend installing iOS 12 on your only device!) Apart from the problems, the main change was the removal of the group FaceTime calls and a note that multiple FaceTime calls will not come in until “later than this fall”.
August 15 - iOS 12 The beta 8 developer arrived shortly after Apple pulled out the beta 7. This basically resolved these issues.
Aug 23 - iOS 12 Beta 10 - The rate at which Apple releases updates is currently growing, suggesting a final version will be available soon.
Aug 27 - iOS 12 Beta 11 came out a few days after beta 10. Unfortunately, users are seeing pop-ups indicating that a new update is available. There's no new update, though. The message reads: “A new iOS update is now available. Please update from iOS 12 beta. ”
Public beta updates usually happen in tandem with the developer's beta, although not all features appear in the public beta at the same time as the developer's release. Public Beta 6 started on August 15th.
iOS 12 features
Apple grouped changes and new iOS functions 12 to 14 categories is a major update. We will work on this as best we can, starting with performance.
Performance improvements
It was predicted ahead of time that Apple would focus on performance and stability in this update, and that's exactly what happened. Craig Federighi said Apple is "doubling the performance" to make iPads and iPhones faster and more responsive. This is especially true for older devices, he said.
The iPhone 6 Plus, for example, is seeing a significant speed boost with the iOS 12 update. Apps load 40% faster, and the keyboard is 50% faster. Sliding to take pictures up to 70% faster, he said.
Smaller but still significant benefits can be seen on newer devices too: Federighi cited sharesheet appearing twice as fast and apps loading twice as fast. We're looking forward to checking it out, but it sounds great in theory.
The performance boost is all about optimizing the system under load, Apple says. iOS 12 picks up performance immediately when needed, and then picks up performance when not needed to conserve battery life.
Augmented reality
As part of the iOS 12 update, Apple is launching ARKit 2. Augmented reality is a core component of the new OS.
First, Apple announced new format files for augmented reality-USDZ.
At Adobe Creative Cloud there will be built-in USDZ support covering applications like Photoshop.
Apple showcased smart measuring tools created by ARKit 2. With a new app called Measure, you can view a real object using your iPhone's camera, tap two points on a table, for example, and see a measurement for its length and width. More impressively, you can view a rectangular object as a photo and the system will automatically recognize the shape and give you measurements.
Finally, ARKit will allow you to share experiences. In AR games, for example, two players on different iPads will be able to separately watch gameplay from their point of view (and a third, neutral observer, will also be able to view things separately).
Cards
Apple has not announced that it is going to completely revise its Maps app during the WWDC keynote that the revelation came later in the interview (we have all the details here: new Apple version Maps arriving in iOS 12).
Apple decided that The best way Improve Maps - Stop relying on third-party companies and collect all the data yourself. To do this, he had his own vans from gatheing images, he will also collect anonymous data from the iPhone and use a team of human editors to make sure his maps are always fully up to date.
Apparently the problem with Apple cards on the this moment is that Apple takes too long to make changes due to the involvement of a third party. This way, changes can happen immediately - so if new road will open, it can quickly appear on maps.
The maps will look better as well, although this does not appear to be a visual overhaul. Users will see more detailed images as Apple will use data collected from the vans in combination with satellite imagery.
Apple stressed that all data will be collected anonymously.
Facetime
One big change here is the FaceTime group of up to 32 members. Before you get too excited, Apple is delaying the release of this feature until late fall. It was removed from beta in August.
The interface is weird and will take some getting used to, but it's pretty smart too: it automatically resizes to make the participant's box bigger when they speak. Here's how to make a Group FaceTime call.
Siri
Siri gets a new shortcut feature. These are (potentially multi-step) voice actions tailored for individual applications.
Any application can add shortcuts. It just displays an Add to Siri icon and this allows you to create a voice shortcut for a specific feature of that app. Examples include “help me relax” launching a meditation app and “ordering my regular groceries”.
Siri in iOS 12 will contextually suggest shortcuts on the lock screen: if you order coffee every morning, it will prompt you to launch an action in the Starbucks app, say. Or he'll offer to “turn on do not disturb” when you're in the theater, or remind you to call your grandmother on her birthday.
You can create your own shortcuts with “surfing” app shortcuts, for example, can get the weather and ETA to the beach, set up a reminder to put on sunscreen, and so on. Here's how to make a Siri shortcut.
Photos
Photo Search is updated on iOS 12. You can search for cards, dog, flowers ... iOS 11 already has Smart Object Search, but it looks like there will be many more categories in iOS 12.
More ambitiously, iOS 12 thinks about finding photos before you do, offering search suggestions: places you've taken photos, events, categories like hiking. Photo indexes millions of events and you can use this to find photos taken at that event.
Finally, there is a slight reorganization in bookmarks. Memories and shared were combined into new tab under the title for you, which opens a slot in the bottom bar for the search tab.
As well as a curator of memories and activities in your shared folders(and the sharing suggestions mentioned above) also shows you recommended photos, and offers the effects that iOS thinks it would like to do well on specific photos.
News
Some more fast updates, now that Apple is announcing changes to a number of its default apps. First of all, News.
The news has been redesigned to make it more suitable for using iPad... It gets a new browsing tab, which Apple says makes it easier to navigate to favorites. And there is a new sidebar.
Stocks
This may be of limited general interest, but those who regularly use promotions will be delighted to hear two updates for this app.
First, that Apple News approaches stocks. Business news headlines will appear in the app, allowing you to click and see full article without leaving stocks.
It makes sense on big screen iPad that's the second update: promotions coming to iPad of the past! In this format, you will be able to view your stocks on the left and Financial News on the right.
Voice Reminder
This, too, has been redesigned to be easier to use. And it comes to iPad too!
iBooks
iBooks gets new design and a new name: Apple Books.
There's a new Reading Now feature that lets you pick up where you left off. AND new shop which Apple says is easier to browse.
Carplay system
Now supports third party navigation applications... Very important!
Do not disturb mode
IOS 12 has wide range new features designed to limit distractions, focus on the things that matter to you, and generally improve the balance between your iOS devices and the rest of your life.
There is a new "do not disturb while sleeping" feature. If this option is activated, you will not see all notifications during the preset sleep hours, even if you can turn on the screen of your device. In the morning you can click whenever you want to see them.
And don't bother with more updates. You can set the ending for DND: when you leave somewhere or to specified time... This can be convenient for playing with children, or when attending a wedding or an important meeting.
Notifications
Notifications give you more control over how much you get: Apple calls this “instant setup” from the lock screen. Tap on a notification and you can decide whether to turn off notifications from that source entirely, or just customize the circumstances under which it notifies you.
Siri will also offer to turn off notifications that you no longer use, and we now (how long ago asked!) To receive grouped notifications. They will be grouped by application, by topic, by topic. You can click on a grouped notification, look at the group in more detail, and then “sort” the entire group with a single swipe.
Usage monitoring, limits and tolerances
iOS 12 provides screen time reports: a weekly activity overview that shows how much you've used your iPhone or iPad day and night, and how long it is on each app. It also tells you which apps are sending the most notifications. All of this information can be helpful in allowing you to decide how to customize your usage.
If you want to be more prescriptive, you can set app restrictions. You will receive a “helpful” (possibly very annoying, albeit helpful) notification that the time is almost up, and then the lock screen after that. (Although it will be possible to negotiate an extension!)
You probably won't enable extensions when creating app permissions for your kids and when idle. Parental controls are generally improved in iOS 12, allowing them to set app restrictions by category or install apps they can always get - a phone app, most obviously, or educational apps.
Posts
The most Big changes the posts revolve around Animoji. There are four new Animoji: ghost, koala, tiger and t-rex. And for all Animoji, you'll be able to stick out your tongue and animations to reflect that (IO 11 didn't learn languages).
At the end of the Animoji drawer, you will see a plus sign, and this is for creating your own images... They are called Memoji, a personalized Animoji of yourself (or whoever you like, really). Apple demonstrated huge selection personalization options.
There are also some new camera effects in messages - as before, you can take a photo from within the app, but now you can add your own Memoji, stickers, and more. Here's how to use camera filters in messages.
Which iPads and iPhones can run iOS 12?
All devices that can work under iOS control 11 can also run iOS 12. Those tools:
- iPad Pro (10.5), iPad Pro (12.9, 2017)
- iPad 2017, iPad 2018
- iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4
- iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X
- iPod touch(sixth generation)
iOS 13
This is all iOS 12 news, but believe it or not, there are already rumors about iOS update 13 for summer and fall 2019.
Reports show that a number of planned features have been pushed back from the iOS 12 to iOS 13 update so that (as stated above) the firm can implement the widespread stability improvements and bug fixes it believes are a priority this time around.
On Twitter, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman discussed some of the expected features of what he calls “Yukon,” the codename for the 2019 update. He says files will get an update, and apps will have tabs, two screens of the same app side-by-side, and Apple Pencil-related updates.
Most intriguingly, Gourmet points to a redesign home screen focused on iPad. This is due to an earlier prediction by Axios that the “home screen update” has been pushed back to 2019.
Apple will of course have long-term plans - the iOS team won't sit down with blank sheet papers the day after iOS 12 ships, but it's unusual for us to have so much information before the launch.
Exit new iOS Is always a real event. As a rule, the operating system is available not only on the latest devices ah companies, but also on those who have already seen types of iPhone and iPad. And that is why such an event is interesting not only for the owners of the company's latest devices. Today we'll talk about key functions iOS 12, how useful and user-friendly they are.
Performance
If iOS 11 was more about chips, then in the twelfth version, the developers focused on stability and speed. Here is the data provided by Apple itself.
The performance of the new OS has increased significantly. For example, compared to iOS 11.4 on a 12-speed camera, the camera starts up 70% faster, and the keyboard opens 50% faster. There are data on applications. For example, some stock utilities open 40% faster on a new OS. Not bad at all.
Below is a visual comparison of the speed of 5S on iOS 11.4 and the 12th beta version. The difference is palpable.
This does not particularly apply to current devices, everything is fine there. But for older devices, such a speed increase will definitely come in handy. The numbers above are measured on the iPhone 6 Plus, which, as a reminder, was released back in 2014. Any flagship on Android, even a series, will envy such support.
Personally, I have not been able to test the work yet. new system on older devices, but according to rumors, even on iOS 12, it behaves very cheerfully. By the way, write in the comments, it would be interesting for you to read iOS overview 12 on i?
Facetime
Unfortunately, in our area FaceTime is not as popular as in the United States. For some mysterious reason, Skype is still in our favor. Although FaceTime is much faster, it is more convenient to use, and every second person has an iPhone.
In any case, the FT now supports conferences. Up to 32 people can be in the video chat at the same time. One begins to speak, his window is enlarged in comparison with the others - a simple and elegant solution.
And right in the middle of a conversation, you can "put" on your head Animoji or Memoji. Of course, this will require a conversation with, because only this device supports 3D avatars. So far, only he.
Since Animoji are available in FaceTime, there are no problems with simpler effects - stickers, emoticons, text and others. visual effects- in general, everything that is in iMessage.
New Animoji and Memoji
If anyone has forgotten. The emoticons we are all so used to are called emoji.
Which devices will be able to install iOS 12?
The rest of the smartphones are younger than him. Yes, yes, Apple continues to support the device, which was released back in 2013. Two thousand and thirteenth! Do you even remember what you did this year?
By the way, all the announced chips will work on 5S, of course, except for those that are directly related to Face ID, for example, Memoji.
Of course, not all functions will be available on 5S. However, the same screen time can be used to the full.
For tablets, the situation is as follows. iOS 12 can be installed on and, on Air of all generations, on all Pro versions of the tablet, on iPad Mini from the second generation, as well as on iPod player Touch 6th revision.
Apple has announced the release date of the final version of iOS 12 - in five days, September 17. Its release was preceded by 12 beta versions for developers and 10 builds for public testing.
The update will be available on the evening of September 17th and can be downloaded “over the air”: go to “Settings” → “General” → “Software updates” and select “Download and install”. Happy update!

The main innovations in iOS 12
More fast work
iOS 12 includes numerous performance enhancements that improve speed and responsiveness for everyday tasks on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The camera turns on 70% faster, the keyboard appears 50% faster, and the typing response is even better. Even when the system load is high, applications can launch up to twice as fast. iOS 12 improves performance more devices than any of previous versions from the iPhone 5s introduced in 2013 to the most advanced iPhone X ever.
Memoji and new video effects
In addition to Animoji, you can now create and customize your own Memoji avatars. Choose from numerous Memoji characters right in Messages and customize them to convey your personality. Ghost, Koala, Tiger, and Tyrannosaurus have also been added to the existing Animoji. All Animoji and Memoji now have the ability to wink and stick out their tongue, reflecting even more different emotions.
New camera effects bring you Animoji, filters, text, and stickers in Messages and FaceTime. Filters such as comics and watercolor make your photos and videos even more expressive. New labels and shapes let you add captions and titles to highlight areas of your image. In addition, you can now add any stickers from the iMessage sticker packs to your images.
Group FaceTime calls
WITH Group function FaceTime can easily chat with multiple people at the same time - up to 40 people. You can add participants at any time during the conversation — they can join by video or audio from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac — or even participate in a FaceTime voice conversation with Apple Watch.
Fast access With using Siri Shortcuts
Siri Shortcuts help you get things done faster by making Siri work in any app. Intelligent functions Siri can prompt actions in the right moments: For example, order your morning coffee or start your afternoon workout. Users can customize Shortcuts by creating simple voice commands for specific tasks, or download the new Shortcuts app to customize a series of actions in various applications and execute them with one touch or a simple voice command. Developers can easily use this new opportunity using Application API Shortcuts.
Do Not Disturb, Notifications and Screen Time
New tools built into iOS 12 help users control the interaction time with their iOS devices. Do not disturb modes are automatically turned off at a specified time, location, or action, while Do Not Disturb at Night helps you sleep better by dimming the display and hiding all lock screen notifications until morning.
In order not to be distracted from business, iOS users 12 can customize how notifications are delivered by enabling silent mode or by turning off notifications entirely. Group notifications give you the ability to view and manage multiple similar notifications.
Screen Time function displays detailed information about the duration of work with applications and sites, helping to better control the use of the device. Daily and weekly activity reports include total time spent on specific apps, app usage by category, number of notifications received, and frequency turning on the iPhone or iPad. In addition, Screen Time gives parents access to their kids' reports right on their iOS devices through iCloud Family Sharing, as well as the ability to limit the time the child can use iOS device, for example, by prohibiting its use at night.
iGuides in Telegram -
After lengthy testing, Apple has finally announced a release date stable iOS September 12 - 17, 2018. The new version of the mobile operating system has become faster and more secure, and also received many innovations. Owners of supported devices will be able to install it over the air or through iTunes on their computer.
Up to two times better performance
After the not very successful iOS 11 (especially the first assemblies), Apple programmers paid close attention to performance. According to official figures, iOS 12 launches the camera from the locked screen up to 70% faster, opens the keyboard up to 50% faster and launches applications up to two times faster. The fact that the Cupertinians have worked wonderfully well is confirmed by numerous reviews and video comparisons: judging by them, the new version of the operating room really works much faster. The performance boost is felt best on older smartphones: iOS 12 has revived oldies like the iPhone 5s, 6, and 6 Plus.
Updated ARKit 2.0 augmented reality platform
The "Apple" corporation did not abandon its augmented reality platform, but, on the contrary, radically improved it. ARKit 2.0 allows you to interact with virtual objects in the real world in multiplayer mode - this is not yet available in other popular platforms. ARKit 2.0 better recognizes the surrounding world and, therefore, displays virtual objects more realistically. WITH the release of iOS 12 the operating system got a new one standard application- Measure. It measures real objects with a virtual ruler in augmented reality mode - just open the program and point the camera at necessary item... Apparently, the error is extremely insignificant.
Among other things, ARKit 2.0 has learned to recognize facial expressions (direction of gaze, winking and sticking out the tongue). Virtual objects have become more realistic, since they can now reflect the real world (for example, a drawn river will reflect people passing by).
Developers can create individual AR objects and save them in the new file format - USDZ. To open them, just use by standard means mobile operating system.
Controlling gadget addiction
IOS 12 introduces a long-awaited feature called Screen Time. It shows how much time a person spends on a particular application and how he uses the device as a whole. New feature allows you to set limits for certain games or programs. After a user-specified time, the application will close. Naturally, in emergency situations, the limit can be removed (by entering the password). "Screen time" can be configured not only on your device, but also on children's gadgets in the parental control(you can restrict the use of specific applications v certain time- for example, during school hours or after 9 p.m.).
Notification grouping and improved Do Not Disturb mode
Attention: large file size.
Cupertinos decided to implement grouping of notifications in their mobile operating system only in the twelfth major update- better late than never. Now on the lock screen and in the notification center there will no longer be an unsorted heap of jumbled entries from different applications... In iOS 12, you can set up notifications directly from the lock screen - if you receive a lot of messages from the messenger at the most inopportune moment, you can turn off its notifications for an hour.
But if you need to temporarily isolate yourself from all annoying sounds at once, it is better to use the improved Do Not Disturb mode. It can be turned on as forever (before manual shutdown), and until a certain moment: after an hour, before leaving a specific location, until the end of a certain event.
Redesigned gallery
In addition, the search for "Photos" has become smarter: initially it offers to find images in places where the user has been recently, but as you write your query, the search suggests more suitable clue words.
Also, the color correction settings built into the "Photo" learned to edit files RAW format- however, this feature is only available on iPhone SE / 6S and newer, and iPad (2017) and newer. Importing photos from professional cameras has become much easier.
Siri has learned to automate everyday tasks
Voice assistant is now more integrated with third party applications and knows how to work with them. For example, if on the way home from work a person constantly walks into a cafe to drink coffee, Siri will offer to order it in advance. But in case the smart assistant does not recognize the user's habits, he can manually configure the automation by activating quick voice commands or creating his own in the application " Quick commands". Some analogue popular service IFTTT.
Updated system apps
The iBooks reader has a new design and name - Apple Books. The updated interface will make it easier to navigate among the many books. "Shares" also received a new design and now it is even more convenient to track the cost of securities.
GIF animation is available on click.
Attention: large file size.
FaceTime now supports conversations between up to 32 people at the same time. Thanks to the well-tuned interface, it is quite convenient to communicate even with so many friends: when a person starts talking, his window increases in size.
One-time passwords from SMS are now automatically entered into required fields- you no longer have to memorize them and enter them manually. CarPlay has finally received support from third-party navigators - now Russian motorists will be able to use navigators from Yandex or Google, and not the frankly bad (outside the US) service from Apple. The item "Battery" in the settings shows more information battery usage - added a graph.
And finally, the most important thing - system program"Dictaphone" appeared on the iPad (like "Shares"). He learned to name the records depending on the geolocation - there will be no more incomprehensible " New entry№N "
"Nishtyaki" for owners of devices with Face ID
GIFs are clickable.
Attention: a lot of files.
iOS 12 will surely please the lucky ones who have the TrueDepth camera system in their gadgets. The updated operating system has a function for creating Memoji - animated emoticons, like Animoji, but with the user's face. Fortunately, the developers have not forgotten about the standard Animoji, adding four new faces (koala, tiger, ghost and t-rex), as well as support for winks and tongue sticking out. From now on, you can record videos with animated emoticons up to 30 seconds long (previously there was a limit of 10 seconds).
Owners of gadgets with a TrueDepth camera system can use Animoji and Memoji during a FaceTime conversation.
You can now add a second face to Face ID so that the system recognizes not only the user, but also the physiognomy of his friend or relative.
New gestures
Smartphones without physical button"Home" can now close applications by simply swiping up (rather than holding your finger on his card). The tablets also received new gestures: to return to main screen, you need to swipe up from the bottom edge. To open the control panel, you have to pull your finger down from the upper right corner.
Improved "Camera"
IPhone owners with a dual main camera, they will definitely be delighted: the "Portrait" function now works even better. To more accurately separate the nearby object from the blurred background, the "Camera" creates a mask. True, the improvement will only be noticeable when photographing people from the front.The QR code scanning function built into the "Camera" now highlights it to make it easier for the user to focus on it.
IOS 12 introduces a new API that allows developers to split photos into layers. This is useful, for example, with pictures in the "Portrait" mode: graphic editor will automatically separate the focused subject from the blurred background and allow you to work with them separately. It remains to wait until the developers popular applications will implement support for this innovation in their utilities.
Enhanced security
Owners of multiple Apple devices can exchange keys between them. For example, if the password from a specific account saved on the MacBook, but the user logs into his account through the iPhone, then you can transfer confidential information from one gadget to another. True, this only works if the devices are nearby.
"Password Inspector" has become smarter: now it not only offers to create a complex code when registering in any application, but also checks whether the user has used a similar password. If so, the system will notify the person that it is unsafe.
The auto-complete password function now works with third-party applications - now it makes sense to use password managers like iPassword instead of the system one.
Siri has learned to work with passwords. If the device is unlocked, the voice assistant will happily prompt the user for the code from the "keychain".
Small but significant innovations
There are too many new features and changes in iOS 12. To describe all of them, you need to open a series of articles. We have selected small but significant innovations that will surely please iPhone users and iPad.

Tomorrow already September 17, 2018, there will be an exit final version new iOS 12 and here are some of the things you should do to make sure you are in tune for the big renewal ritual.
What's the first thing to do?
For those users who are installing iOS 12 for the first time (have not participated in testing this OS before), we want to tell you some of the things that are necessary or desirable to do in order to ensure a safe and hassle-free update of your favorite device.1) It is necessary to check the compatibility of the devices. There is no point in waiting for graduation new version ios if your device doesn't support it. Fortunately, iOS 12 supports all devices that can run iOS 11, so this is great news for those who have it installed.
List of devices that support iOS 12:
- iPhone X
- iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
- iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
- iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
- iPhone SE and iPhone 5s

- 10.5-inch iPad Pro and 9.7-inch iPad Pro
- iPad 6 and iPad 5
- iPad Air 2 and iPad Air
- iPad mini 2, 3 and 4
- iPod touch 6th generation
2) As the saying goes back copying too much does not happen, which is why it is necessary to try to save all your data before starting the update process. Apple device... Even if you are sure that nothing will happen, it’s better all the same play it safe. This procedure won't take long.
3) At the moment, it is not known exactly how much the ios 12 update will weigh. That is why if you are going to install it over the air, you need to make sure that you have enough free space on your device. Be sure to check what you have free at least 3 GB space, or better 4 GB... The more free space, the more likely everything will run smoothly, otherwise iOS will simply will not install due to lack of memory, forcing you to free up more space. Therefore, you better get ready and delete all unnecessary.
4) The process of downloading and installing the update takes a lot of time and system resources. That is why at ios installations 12 over the air, it is best to plug into a wall outlet alternating current...
