I always find it funny that they think software adoption counts for anything.

On other platforms, the OS gets out of the way and you install the apps you want. I can upgrade my Edge or IE without having to upgrade windows. It's idiotic that to get the new Safari needs the new iOS.
 
Here goes big mouth Craig Federighi. If everything so good with iOS then why double down on security and responsiveness...
 
Hell yeah!!! I want more performance! Performance good, bugs bad! I hope I’ll finally be able to update my spare iPhone 6 to iOS 12 now. I left it on 10.3.3 since 11 would’ve ruined performance and battery life.
 
Personally I was hoping for more Animoji. This is clearly the most important new feature.
I think Apple knows what’s important far better than you. They are executing a strategy that is working beautifully. Animoji are just a small part of it, despite what you think.

Good that they’re concentrating on older devices. That was always the issue - less so now with the powerful hardware on earlier devices but the iPhone 4 is a great example of how quickly software updates crippled a beautiful device. Even iOS 5 turned it into a dog.
