Have to admit, as much as I generally like Apple products, I REALLY dislike their nagging me to upgrade every single day. Once is fine. Give me an opt out choice, because I will do it when I want to.
The most annoying part is the constant auto download and I would manually delete it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Yep, kinda annoys me when Apple 'show off' these stats when they're constantly bullying users into updating. I'd figure a good amount of users updated just to get the annoying reminders to stop.

Having said that, iOS 12 is definitely one of their best iOS updates for performance improvements alone.
I didn’t get any reminders - I searched for and uploaded the updates on my own.

Couldn't be because Apple force-feeds you updates these days with badges, popups and warnings.
Wrong - In my case I uploaded this on my own without any prompts.

Does anyone know if iOS 12 is at least as fast as iOS 10? I can find lots of iOS 11 to iOS 12 comparisons, but none for iOS 10 to iOS12 for all us people who learnt years ago not to upgrade major iOS versions but are now hearing how great and fast iOS 12 is!
 
Hopefully iOS 12.1 isn't far around the corner at this point to improve things further.

Shut off bluetooth or wifi until tomorrow is still dumb. Give us an option.

There are people who share bluetooth devices and cars with others, it's just annoying.
 
"But Apple doesn't track me"...

What they don’t do is track you, build an extensive identifiable profile across services and machines, and sell that data to third parties.

“Tomorrow” being not long after I go to sleep.
 
The statistic is only covering devices from the last 4 years so... X/8/8+, 7/7+, 6S/6S+/SE should all obviously included.

Would that include the 6/6+ or no? They were introduced over 4 years ago, but discontinued less than 4 years ago... 5C and 5S in some drive sizes were also discontinued less than 4 years ago.
What interests me as a software developer, what percentage of users willing to install new apps are on iOS 12? How many customers do I make happy if I use iOS 12 features, and how many customers do I lose if I require iOS 12?

Sure, though that is moving the goal posts, when the question is tracking , and not tracking with purpose to monetise.

My problem with tracking is not if a company sells the data . It’s that data about me is being tracked . With constant hacks / breaches announced on a regular basis, companies selling anonymised data about me is the least of my concerns.

Does apple provide any of that info to you ? Like customer reach if you support version x...y etc.
 
It should keep climbing . iOS 11 was poor. People should jump to 12, glad Apple went for performance improvement . Happy so far
iOS 11.3 is completely fine without any problems, so people don't need to rush to 12

no, we are Apple, so shut up and hit that upgrade button as we always know what is best for you!

Ive actually noticed something like that happening when I use Safari on some websites but most work fine. Now that you mention it, how is your text selection. When you push down on a word and you try to select say 3 or 4 lines of text, does it act a little wonky? For me sometimes the cursor will bounce around and select things I didn’t want or will just disappear. It’s kind of a pain in the butt.

Just tried, yup, seems to be buggy here too.

I agree . My advice is stick on the last build of the previous version , until say 12.2 . Though 12 has had a much better introduction, compared to 11, which was very bad . A reason a number of my devices are still on 10, as I wait to see how 12 works out . My iPhone X I upgraded though .

Yep and good for Apple to be able to collect on it.
It’s all business ;)
 
Once I installed this update, my battery life took a nose dive. This morning I shut down Siri and my battery life is back to normal.

Did you try waiting a couple of days? That always happens to me after a major update, but I wait a couple of days and it's back to normal again. On my old 6S everything was back to normal within a day, in fact my battery lasted about 10% more than before and on my XS I get TWO days with iOS12.
 
It’s probably the only release which won’t have planned obsolescence built in as Apple is wary after Throttlegate. Download while you can because iOS 13 will be back to the same old same old.

It's been weeks at this point and the battery life on my iPhone 7 is worse with iOS 12 (12.0.1 currently) than it was with iOS 11.

iOS 12 was also supposedly going to be the "same old", until it wasn't (at least not for many). So much for generalizations.

According to data from ArsTechnica, the launch times for apps are about the same as iOS 10.

A few seconds search would tell you Settings is the place to go to turn off WiFi or Bluetooth completely until you manually enable. You can Force Touch on Settings for quick access.
 
How big is the current iOS update? I have a 16GB 6S and space is very tight. Apps are getting huge and store a huge amount of cache. I keep on deleting and reinstalling apps to clear the cache but when I redownload the app, the newer version is bigger! Im on iOS 10.2.1.

The current iOS 12 is only a result of the throttlegate scandal. Previously iOS 12 was going to feature a radical redesign which Apple postponed to 2019 to win back customer loyalty.

By 2019 people will have forgotten about it and Apple can resume their clever scheme.

Conjectures are interesting as usual.

I already know how to do that but thanks, my point was that control center is annoying af. Off should mean off, not off until Tomorrow.

With this logic, why not say "On until tomorrow"

Same stupidity...
