Didn’t you backup your phone prior to the update? When I updated to iOS 11 it just went in smoothly...on a 6s. However my phone was always backed up through iTunes, now I back up through iCloud.
The 12.1 beta is very good.
Got a tip for us?

The 12.1 beta is very good.
iOS 12 is an update that brings significant speed and performance improvements to older devices...
Only 10% adoption yet, people must be waiting for their iPhones to get 'older'

Snow Leopard, iOS6 and now iOS12. Stonking releases!
Gotta say that iOS12 on my iP6S+ is really smooth and this is the first time I've upgraded so soon after release in many since iOS7. I upgraded to 11 last year after a couple of months and it was still horrible and I regretted it. But No Ragrets here this time!
But the big test for me will be my iPad Air 1gen machine which was absolutely crippled by iOS11. It has run like a pig for 10 months now, but hopefully tonight that will all change...

Waiting for Darkmode and better UI (volume HUD, unobtrusive Siri and Phone interfaces, easier cursor movement, 5th row keyboard, date on statusbar, faster animations)
So staying on iOS11 jb
I have outlook on my personal iphone for my work email and Microsoft’s management app and I was beta testing ios12 and no problems.
the betas for 12 have been generally more stable and fast than the final 11 releases, and the final 12 release runs really great
I'm waiting to hear from someone who installed this on an iPhone 5s as IOS 11 was a complete disaster for mine that I'm still aggravated and wish I could go back to IOS 10.
I did and so far it seems more fluid than iOS11. I only have had one day of usage so far so things may change but the first impression is good.

“I’m really happy with my decision. One time my hair parted on the wrong side. This is much better.”
iPad's with FaceID will not have a notch.

I did an iCloud Backup prior to upgrading to iOS 11 but when I restored from backup a lot of my content didn't reappear. I spoke to Apple and they couldn't figure it out
[doublepost=1537446504][/doublepost]Isn't 10% of people updating to iOS 12 this year a lot more in terms of numbers than 10% of people updating to iOS 11 last year? I'm sure some people are holding off due to the iOS 11 issues whereas others maybe waiting for the weekend? Also I have few colleagues that didn't even know the iOS 12 update was available.
I can’t believe people still bring this up. It’s an apples to oranges comparison. If you’re honest, you’d realize that too.
It should work with iOS 12 by holding down the spacebar, I'm not sure how you would do a "harder" press for selection though
I usually like to wait a few days incase there are any bugs.
I updated our fleet yesterday afternoon/evening with very few issues, mostly just slow encrypting backups to the computer. 2 ATV4's, 2 iPhones, 2AW3's, 1HomePod; still several family devices in other homes to update, hopefully I can get to them this weekend.
With major updates I like to backup to the cloud AND to a computer. I've had problems in the past where one or the other saved my @$$.

Email perhaps not so much but if there’s any kind of VPN or MDM for sure.
Plus many folks are possibly cashing in their old phones for new ones so why bother with the update when you get it on the new phone.
Unfortunate about the content lost...a word to the wise I guess.iPad's with FaceID will not have a notch.

I don't know, but it's the only thing I hate about iOS 12. I constantly hit the Emoji button now instead of the numbers toggle.
While I typically wait before installing new versions, the crap that iOS 11 was on my iPhone 6 made me update as soon I was back from a 2-day business trip. The performance difference is very noticeable. My phone is back to its pre-11 speed days!
Lol, what does the reason why the comment is true have to do with it??
So, if your car required a mechanic in a different state & I mentioned how much less convenient that is than me getting my car serviced right down the street, you could just say “You know that’s not the car’s fault! It’s the fault of how you’re required to perform the maintenance!”, then call me a troll?
Hmmmm....
I can’t help but wonder if they’d have the same results if they guaranteed continued security updates for iOS for say... 7 years from the release of the next major revision, and allowed uses the FREEDOM to go back to any supported previous version at any time.
I *BET* the numbers wouldn’t look ANYTHING like these.
These aren’t reflective of how good any new version of iOS is. They’re reflective of coercion.
You’re comparing, (forgive me,) apples and oranges. The Android OS is FL/OSS software and as such, they can’t strong-arm or blackmail users like Apple does, into updating the OS as soon as they come out with a new version, with the implicit threat that old OSs are not receiving the same updates or attention to continuing security and users who choose not to update are at increased risk of the digital boogeyman of the age: the hacker.
Apple is using an old Microsoft Mind Trick, forcing (in their case,) users to register their copies of Windows, without which you can’t get Windows Updates, which means you’re running an unpatched copy and therefore a pitifully hack-into-able system, which you’d only do, esPECIALLY if you intend to take it online on the intertuebz, if you’re a crazy person... and in the process compromising the safety and security of their own paying customers for the sake of making more money. In Microsoft’s case, I’m convinced it was an antipiracy measure.
The fact that there’s a third party involved, the handset maker, is a perfectly valid point.

Apple's newest operating system, iOS 12, is installed on just over 10 percent of devices 48 hours after it launched according to data collected by analytics company Mixpanel. The data suggests customers are adopting iOS 12 at a slower rate than iOS 11 and iOS 10.
Last year, iOS 11 was installed on 10 percent of devices just 24 hours after launching, and in 2016, iOS 10 was installed on 14.45 percent of devices within 24 hours.
Customers may be reluctant to adopt a new operating system after all of the bugs and issues that were seen with iOS 11 software updates, but Apple made an effort to focus on the underlying code of iOS 12 and thus far, the update has been stable.
As should be no surprise, MacRumors readers are early iOS 12 adopters. Over 80 percent of readers queried so far have installed iOS 12 just two days after it launched. Follow us on Twitter and vote to let us know if you've upgraded to iOS 12.
iOS 12 is an update that brings significant speed and performance improvements to older devices, so most customers installing the software should see notable speed improvements over iOS 11 after updating.
On the iPhone 6 Plus, for example, apps launch up to 40 percent faster, while the keyboard can appear up to 50 percent faster. Opening the camera on the Lock screen to take a photo can be done 70 percent faster.
Apple has made animations smoother and more responsive across the operating system, so accessing Control Center, scrolling in apps, or swiping up when multitasking feels more fluid.
iOS 12 also includes optimizations for when the operating system is under load. Apps launch up to twice as fast under a heavy load, as does the Share Sheet.
With iOS 12 installed on 10 percent of devices, iOS 11 adoption has dipped to 82 percent and will continue to fall as more people adopt iOS 12. Installation could jump this weekend as some people wait until they have a free block of time to complete a major software update.
iOS 12 is a free download that's available for the iPhone 5s and later, iPad mini 2 and later, and the 6th-generation iPod touch. In addition to noticeable and useful speed and performance improvements, the update introduces Screen Time for monitoring device usage, Memoji and new Animoji, ARKit 2.0, and a new Shortcuts app for creating customized automations.

Just because iOS users update in the same time frame over last version, doesn't always mean they find it better.
Arguably, you could say 10% in 24 hours with iOS11 means more were willing and less people now with iOS12 were holding off. That should increase too.
