IOS 12 - worth it (stable) yet?

iOS 12 is a definite performance boost, especially on older hardware. Except for a scattering of "the new iOS killed my battery" complaints that's common with any update, there have been no significant reports of reduced battery life running iOS 12. If your battery health is below 80%, you need to get your battery replaced, regardless of what version of iOS you're running.

I've suffered no stability problems at all and press reports from early this summer even indicated that the early betas were more stable than iOS 11.4.

For what it's worth, I updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 12. No complaints. My phone feels a bit "snappier" than it did under 11.

Having said that, remember that my phone is still in 'peak performance' mode. Also just because I didn't get any issues yet doesn't mean there won't be any; someone not complaining here doesn't mean there aren't problems out there, and with hundreds of millions of iOS users world wide, even 0.5% having problems still accounts for a large number of users.

Someone not complained on here doesn’t mean there are any problems or issues either. You cannot rationally argue something exists when you have no evidence of it at all.

My point about Internet forums being an inherently biased sampling is that people typically join and post because they do have an issue and are seeking a solution. Those without issues are more likely to never even visit sites like this. Hence issues posted about here don’t provide an unbiased sample of the extent of any issue. Something may be a big deal, or it may affect a tiny proportion of users - but there is no reliable way to say just from internet support forum posts.

The moderators remove posts, not us fellow users. If you violate the terms of use, your posts will be removed.

I don‘t even understand what your going on about in this thread? You mention no reported issue with iOS 12. You yourself say you‘re not experiencing any, those responding say they‘ve not experienced any issues with iOS 12? So if you have no issue with iOS 12, I have no issue with iOS 12, the other responders have no issue with iOS 12, what is it, exactly, you’re bent out of shape over? What is this thread even about now?

And I stand by what I said. People have issues with any and every operating system ever made. That’s universal. But Internet forum posts are neither an unbiased nor quantifiable measure of the actual extent of an issue. Simple sampling statistics - voluntary Internet forum posts are not a reliable measure of the extent any issue.

Hi

I have been using Ios 12 & beta from 2/3 months on all my apple devices.

With on problems.

Cheers

No you didn't.

I never had any issues with 11.4, nor 11.4.1 nor now 12 on an iPhone 7, 12.9” (first gen) iPad Pro, new 10” iPad Pro, and older iPad Air2.

Updating or not is up to you. Just remember for every issue raised here or elsewhere online, there will be literally millions of other adopters around the globe with no issues. Not discounting the issues some people have, but with hundreds of millions of iOS users world wide, complaints on the internet are not even remotely an unbiased sample of user experiences.
