3 Major Performance Enhancements

Most notably, iOS 12 boasts a range of CPU-level performance and speed enhancements, which have already proven to be of great benefit to Apple’s older devices like the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPad mini.
Such older devices tend to slow down over time and become less efficient. Apple even found itself in the crosshairs of a highly-publicized controversy last year where the company was accused of intentionally slowing down older iPhone models. The drama resulted in the company announcing a wide-ranging battery replacement program for older devices like the iPhone 6s, and inherently thrust the issue of ‘forced obsolescence’ into the spotlight.
Luckily, Apple promised (and delivered) in the performance department with iOS 12. In addition to all the new battery management tools introduced in iOS 11.3, iOS 12 is slated to usher in performance boosts for newer and older iOS devices, alike. And judging from some of the promising speed tests we’ve seen already, users can expect noticeable improvements in their device’s performance when iOS 12 touches down this fall.
