The perfect version of iOS 11 ----iOS 12 will be released soon.

As many have speculated, the iPhone SE2, which hasn't received much exposure, didn't appear on this year's WWDC. As a result, iOS 12 has become the biggest highlight of WWDC18. Although many new features have been added, there is always the illusion that the full version of iOS 11 might be like this.

iOS 12 is doing a lot of iOS 11.

Although it brings a series of new features such as UI interface, gesture manipulation and so on, the official version of iOS 11, which is unveiled along with iPhone X, is still well received by users: carton, instability and Bug frequency, which makes iOS 11 even known as the "worst" iOS version in history.

On iOS 12, the boost in fluency / APP startup speed, the further refinement of existing functionality, and even on support devices, iOS 12 is exactly the same as iOS 11: the iPhone 5S and iPad Mini 2, which should have dropped out of the support list, are still on the iOS 12 upgrade list.

The biggest highlight of the new iOS 12 is speed and fluency. According to official reports, iOS 12's App startup speed is 40% faster than the previous iOS 11, input and output speed is 50% faster, and camera startup speed is 70%. Compared with previous iOS 11 systems, iOS 12 is very friendly to older Apple devices, with significant improvements in speed and fluidity, which can extend the life of older iPhones.

Support equipment:

iPhone:iPhone X, the iPhone 8, the iPhone 8 Plus, the iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Plus, the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 6S Plus, the iPhone 6 Plus, the iPhone SE, the iPhone 5S

iPad:The 12.9-inch iPad Pro second generation, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro first generation, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, the iPad Air 2, the iPad Air, the fifth generation of the iPad, the sixth generation of the iPad, the iPad Mini 4, the iPad Mini 3, and the iPad Mini 2.

iPod:iPod touch 6

In terms of functionality, many of the features highlighted at the conference look like "finished" features already available on iOS 11.

First, the system performance, this improvement is particularly "care" for the old equipment, for example, the old equipment to open the camera speed will be 70% faster than before! After updating iOS 12, the speed of App will increase by 40%, and the speed of keyboard evocation will be increased by 50%. After experiencing the iOS 11 Karton and the drop-off gate, Apple seems to want to tell its users through a series of delightful old-fashioned initiatives that the experience you don't get on iOS 11 will be compensated for on iOS 12.

In addition, the upgrade to the second edition of ARKit, highlighted by Apple last year, will always give a more realistic sense of the concept: the new USDZ AR file format, improved face tracking, better rendering, and support for multi-user interaction all talk about ARKit's real push to a practical collar. Domain.

Animoji, an animated expression using the iPhone's X-ray structured light, was further refined: not only did it add four new images: koala, tiger, ghost or T. Rex, which supported the recognition of tongue-spitting movements, but it also added a new Memoji feature that allowed users to customize images and create their own Animoji.

In addition, on iOS 11.3, Apple has opened up NFC support for traffic cards, and on iOS 12, NFC will become more open: it will allow students to simulate their mobile phones as campus cards, fast access to dormitories, canteens, and libraries. And if there is no accident, future access card services will also be open to the public.

The things that don't work well / well on iOS 11, iOS 12 is all "finished," and we can even think of iOS 12 as a full version of iOS 11.

The shadow of Android can be seen everywhere.

On the one hand, efforts are being made to "fill" the holes dug by iOS 11, on the other hand, iOS 12, like iOS 11, is trying to keep pace with Android.

If you remember the Xiaomi 8 press conference a few days ago, you will be impressed with the customizable little love classmates on MIUI 10. On iOS 11, Apple finally decided to open up its Siri interface to more applications: users could also customize Siri commands to perform operations, or even perform successive actions with passwords.

On iOS 11, another point worthy of tucking is to alert the message: scattered message notifications must be cleaned up one by one. On iOS 12, Apple eventually pegged Android with the ability to group push applications into Apps, allowing users to clean up with one click. In addition, for some applications, the push can finally be set to "quiet notification" (priority), no sound or banner display, but a lot of interruption to users.

Of course, today's Android does even better with notification management, not only with notification classification, priority, but also allows users to manage the type of push messages that App delivers: microblogging, for example, allows you to turn off the system push and display private chat or comment information. IOS 12 needs further efforts in this regard.

Time slot "Do Not Disturb": iOS users can finally set up at a certain time / place like Android users, and the phone automatically enters the jam-free mode. This function has also been used by Android users for many years. In addition, features like parent mode and mobile phone usage detection have long been implemented on Android devices, and are finally available on iOS 12.

3.AR measuring tool

In addition, AR also adds a multi-person interactive function, live demonstration of AR play Lego game scenes, in addition to the building blocks themselves, but also to explore the Lego world story, and even Lego villains are dynamic.

4. album search

Apple's conservatism and openness

Although iOS 12 hasn't brought us much new features, it's undeniable that iOS 12 may be the best-ever iOS version ever: its ease of use and practicality have reached historic heights, both for functional perfection and for Android's Copy.

Despite its better experience, Apple's iOS is still conservative compared to Android, which is open source. Conservatism, along with its inherent advantages, has even made it less sensitive to new features / trends in recent years, allowing iOS to catch up with Android in recent years.

But with iOS 12, it's easy to see what's happening to Apple right now: iOS is starting to open up more interfaces to third parties, like Siri, CarPlay, and so on, and learning about Android, the new, well-received features that Apple is becoming more open to today.
