We expected coming into WWDC that iOS 12 would focus less on major new features and more on improving performance and eliminating bugs, and that\u2019s partially true based on what Apple showed onstage. \u201cFor iOS 12, we are doubling down on performance,\u201d said software VP Craig Federighi. But the new update for iPhones and iPads does include some significant additions, changes, and improvements. Screen Time, Memoji, Group FaceTime, and grouped notifications are just some of the new things that you\u2019ll notice when you install iOS 12 this fall (or sooner if you join the beta coming later this month). The update will be available on all the same devices that received iOS 11.<\/p>\n
Apple is working to make iOS feel faster than ever \u2014 particularly on older iPhones and iPads. Federighi said that in Apple\u2019s tests on an iPhone 6 Plus, apps launch 40 percent faster, the system keyboard comes up 50 percent faster, and opening the camera is 70 percent faster. Apple is working to speed things up for the full range of devices supported by iOS 12. The company is also focused on times when devices are under heavy load; iPhones and iPads will now be better than ever at delivering optimal performance while also prolonging battery life.<\/p>\n
Like Google, Apple is trying to help users strike a better, healthier balance between gadgets and life. A new Screen Time feature in iOS 12 will detail how much time you\u2019re spending on your device and using individual apps. It can break down app usage by category (games, social media, etc.) and track which apps are sending you the most notifications. Screen Time will provide a weekly summary of your usage habits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
