My 6S was running pretty good on iOS 11.4.1 and since upgrading I've noticed no difference. Even my iOS 12 benchmarks are a few hundred points below what they were on 11.4.1 a day later so according to those results it's a wash for me so far.
Got a tip for us?

thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for

thank you
here is hoping performance will improve over time until the final release
I think ArsTechnica usually does does a review using the oldest supported devices.
I think it likely will. The fact that it did not degrade this early in the lifecycle by any meaningful measure is very encouraging.
Scratch that, after a few hours performance is back to 11, since it is the very first beat I guess they will do it later.

Most likely because you are using latest devices.
I installed iOS 12 beta 1 on my lowly iPhone 6 (16 GB) on release day. I am very pleased as to performance, stability and battery life. Best beta 1 experience I have ever had. Looking forward to further tweaks and enhancements going forward. I find it amazing that Apple is making iOS 12 available as far back as the iPhone 5s! Compare that to the Android platform where one is lucky to be able to run the latest release on 2 year old devices. Talk about planned obsolescence!

Have you replaced the battery on your device? I would start there if you haven’t. I had excellent experience on iOS 11 up through 11.4 on an iPhone 6, iPhone 7, iPhone X and iPad 5th Gen. Outside of a new battery on the iPhone 6 it was an excellent experience under iOS 11. Of course I’m now on iOS 12 beta 1 on all devices and must say I am very impressed with performance, stability and battery life on all devices. Only issue so far is Safari will occasionally choke on some websites. But this is beta 1 after all!
I take it you've tried saying, "That's not how you pronounce Rae" after you hear Siri say it incorrectly?
You will then have several options to choose from to most closely match the correct pronounciation.
Sometimes I think things fly over everyone’s head here. Rofl!
Dan From MacRumors,
Please stop sharing your opinion. It does not carry enough weight, objectivity or significance for me to care. The rest of MacRumors has a refreshingly journalistic approach, yet you somehow think that when it comes to videos, it’s OK to abandon the site’s objective, news-based approach and tell us your often snarky opinions. It’s not.
Please match the tone & manner of the rest of the site. That’s what makes MacRumors so beloved.

I am not a heavy phone user, and use a battery saving mode a lot, combined with my wifi only (with a poor reception in my bedroom), but here are some of my thoughts, so far
device
iPhone 5s (battery saving mode activated, wifi, with poor reception, only)
- feels like “almost” a new phone
not as new with the original system, but, would say, iOS 9 level, or, even 8.something, level
- when I have left the phone, untouched, for 20 hours, I have had 91% of battery left
- after disabling background refresh and reduced motion, it became somewhat faster, but not by much
- when scrolling really fast, there is a gentle stutter
- when opening sub menus in SETTINGS, there is a slight delay, as there is while opening apps. Yet, in my experience, much better than ios11

Sorry to hear that you can still notice a lag.
They did a really good job in iPhone 5s, as far as my experience goes.
Would be interested to hear from somebody with iPad mini 2
I love the smarter 'do-not-disturb'. They need to expand this to alarms. Every time I have a day off from work and need to turn of my work alarm...I have to set a reminder for myself to turn it back on. It would be nice to 'mute' a repeated alarm for x hours..a specific amount of time.
I've used several different iPhones going back to iPhone 5 with different bluetooth enabled vehicles or car kits and aside from my 2012 golf which had a firmware issue that VW fixed I've not had an issue with audio automatically starting when connected. However that was exactly the issue VW fixed.
After a few days use I can say yes, especially when playing graphic intensive game. Hotter than 11.4.
No idea mate, why don't you ask Apple rather than some random user on a forum?
Anyone else having extremely fast battery drain on the 6S? The percentage was dropping every few seconds.
Safari is extremely snappy. Over all it is great. I love the ease of entering passwords.

My iPhone 6S got very warm and the battery was draining pretty fast.
I live in a faraday cage building so can’t get a signal indoors but the phone wouldn’t connect to WiFi calling either.
Wait...iOS 12 has been released to the public? I checked iPhone and it says iOS 11.4 and up to date.
