Will this update remove the need for a silent audiotrack when connecting to car bluetooth? and will this stop displaying the volume indicator over my content?

 

[Beelzbub]

iPhone 8 and iPad 5th generation installed just fine. Will be doing my SE I keep as a backup here shortly.

Updated my SE, zero problems.

Not available through iTunes.

 

[Bazooka-joe]

I'm gonna guess tomorrow.

I am not so sure. No OS update for Apple Watch announced yet and i would have thought it would have needed an OS update to work with AirPower

 

[MatthewUT44]

Not downloading. Call me paranoid but I never download day 1 software updates. Too many bugs

 

[KeepCalmPeople]

Okay then... Well, so far it's 2.47 GB on my iPhone 7.

Dang that's huge. iPhone XS is 841.2MB from 12.1.4.

That was a pretty rapid upgrade on my iPhone X.

Looking forward to the updated News+ application.

Love the little effect that they added to News+ on the ‘magazine’ header.

Everybody is so finicky... We all knew that the iPhone bubble was going to pop eventually. Upgrade cycles are slowing down Etc..Users complain that iOS isn’t up to snuff and buggy.(iOS 11). So Apple cleans it up with iOS 12. Releasing no big features. People complain..
Apple needs to innovate and evolve.. so they do.. users complain.
Apple can’t do anything to increase iPhone sales.. and they can do very little to increase Mac sales..
If apple doesn’t evolve to the services company as well as the hardware company. They will be like Nokia, like HTC, etc. and they will become a company that once was. But I commend them for stepping out of the comfort zone. And pushing the boundaries of what they do.. They’ve been laying the ground word for years. We just didn’t notice it

This update also includes other improvements and bug fixes. This update:
Displays a "5G E" icon for iPhone 8 and later

I think we need a third category in addition "other improvements" and "bug fixes". I'll hold my tongue on what I would call it.

[doublepost=1553543530][/doublepost]I have ATT on my iPhoneX and still shows LTE.

Support for AirPower requires iOS 12.2. Period. And it is because of the Lock Screen enhancements for reporting charge levels from other devices.

Has nothing to do with the actual charging of the devices.

You need to be in an area that supports 5GE for it to appear.

Still no Apple News on iOS 12.2 in Canada...

 

[Eventer_]

No new WatchOS today?

 

[WannaGoMac]

Ah great, now they moved stuff for no reason from the General->About screen.

Looks like Apple is copying Microsoft now...change for change sake.

 

[zahuh]

Available now.

Thanks!

Why did I install this? My phone lags and has slowed down, and my battery is draining like crazy. Apple trying to force me to buy a new iPhone and it's not even September yet. /s

"- Displays a "5G E" icon for iPhone 8 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) or iPad Pro 11-inch indicating that users are in an area where AT&T's 5G Evolution network is available"

Apple's silence on this is either a result of them not wanting to ostracize a major carrier, which would be disappointing, or a result of some carryover from their early iPhone contract. Please let it be the latter, Timmy.

 

[now i see it]

iOS 12.2 could be one of the last significant updates that we see to the iOS 12 operating system as Apple's focus will shift to iOS 13 after the Worldwide Developers Conference

Guaranteed there'll be a 12.3.x before WWDC. Bet on it.

Is the Apple Watch outside Apple’s comfort zone?
Is Apple Pay outside Apple’s comfort zone?
Is the iTunes Store outside Apple’s comfort zone?
Is Apple Music outside Apple’s comfort zone?
Is the App Store outside Apple’s comfort zone?
Is Apple Arcade outside Apple’s comfort zone?
Is iBooks outside Apple’s comfort zone?
Is Apple News+ outside Apple’s comfort zone?
Is TV+ in regard to offering subscriptions of existing streaming services outside Apple’s comfort zone?

The only thing I see here that is outside Apple’s comfort zone is producing their own content.

Still not available through iTunes yet ...

Even though I have the beta profile, I still was able to download iOS 12.2.
