Day 2 with iOS 12 on my 6s and it’s working great. I’d say best iOS on my phone since iOS 9.

My battery was replaced a few months ago on the campaign so I’m at 100 battery health. My battery is about the same maybe slightly better. Today I’m at 83% with 2 hrs 12 mins of screen time so not bad. I like the new battery charts. However I can’t find time since last charged like before. Just screen on and screen off time.
 
Halfway through iOS 12 installing, iTunes popped up a dialog box notifying me of the availability of iOS 12. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised by iTunes weirdness anymore, except to wonder why Apple never seems to get that part of the iOS experience right.
I can beat you. After one device had finished updating to 12 the same dialogue box appeared. At first I thought the update had failed, but even iTunes was reporting the device as running 12!
 
Still can't get it. Tried both the settings and iTunes method. It keeps telling me my iPad is up to date (iOS 11.4.1).
 
Note: “Time to leave” for a notification in the stock Calendar app doesn’t work, not on my 5S. Great going Apple I was late...
 
Why the F did they remove the bluetooth icon in status bar?! This annoys me very much grr

My opinion was how to represent, bluetooth on and bluetooth connected to one device or one or more devices. I know there used to be a greyed out b/t symbol. Maybe apple wanted more room on that top line.
 
So who is this brainiac at Apple that came up with this complete eyesore on the widget screen of iOS 12? I don't know about anyone else, but the light blue and red colored text overlaying that shade of gray hurts the eyes and is plain hard to see. Not to mention the ridiculous little "Set up Screen Time in Setting" splash that occurs right over the top of everything when you first swipe over to the widgets screen. Wow is all I can really say. How does stuff like this slip through final approval?View attachment 783017
[doublepost=1537369977][/doublepost]That is what happens when SJW Apple spends more time on social matters and building a ridiculously expensive HQ. They spent more time designing the HQ than working on their products. How many times do we have to hear about Jony-Boy designing the perfect desks and chairs. What about the products for which we've been overpaying for the last 34 years? And yes, I am an old-time Apple user and fan-boy and owned just about every Apple product personally and professionally. So many design and product missteps over the last 5 years like this even on the most profitable iPhone product. We should demand more.
 
[...] It is also unfortunate that Apples QA for software and hardware have been slipping over the years. A bitter sweet pill.

With this statement, I fully agree. This is not the Apple that attracted me to Apple products. These are not the products that I found to be brilliantly superior to the alternatives. They're merely the least bad today.

This is an extremely uninformed viewpoint. Firstly, why are you against social justice? Secondly, the development employees at Apple have nothing to do with the PR and political activities promoted by Apple upper management. Apple upper management aren't doing development. They give orders to department heads. I can almost guarantee you that upper management is not giving social justice activities to them in place of work that would generate revenue.

You should consider why you're so polarized against social justice and why you feel the need to make a scapegoat of it for your arguments against Apple's product quality slippage. While I fully agree with the observed loss in Q/A and design skill (Apple's GUI design ideology has been abysmal since 2013's releases), social justice activism has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

Wow. This is awful. I can't wait to see it on my own device :-/

I don't see how this gets past Q/A except to realize that Apple's Q/A is not remotely as detail oriented (or competent) as they used to be.

Apple's color and text choices have been awful since 2013's product overhauls, but this looks worse: this is also bad layout.

you just need 1. adguard.
I think you misunderstand what I was commenting about. Ad blocking requires filtering rules in order to function. This is different from plugins. True you may only need one ad blocking extension, but that plugin needs to be able to utilize hundreds, maybe thousands of filtering rules. Apple's content blocking API has a low limit. I don't know the number off the top of my head, but it's lower than the number of rules I was using on my blocker extensions when they weren't using the content blocking API provided by Apple.

Anyone else seeing TONS of freezing or more specifically zero touch response when opening apps? I tap around 5-7 times on buttons or icons and get zero response. I can swipe up and close the app, but now response to my touches. after about 10 touches, it finally responds. It is infuriating. Happens about 70% of the time when launching apps. This is on an iPhone X.
