You shouldn’t go looking to iOS 12 for huge, splashy new features.
Instead, Apple will apparently be giving iOS 12 the Snow Leopard/Mac OS X 10.6 treatment and working on targeting stability, performance, and reliability as opposed to adding in loads of new features. The strategy helped fix what was becoming a growing list of issues and complaints about the Mac operating system. Now it seems that’s what’s happening with the next version of iOS for the iPhone and iPad.
Axios has reported that Apple has decided to primarily work on fixes and improvements instead of new features. Features like a redesigned Home screen, Mail and Photos improvements, and in-car interface changes have been pushed out to 2019.
It’s noted that users will see improvements in iOS’ augmented reality, parental controls and health controls this year.
This change seems to come on the heels of Apple perhaps focusing on features while allowing iOS’s overall quality to slide in its pursuit of bells and whistles.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
