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.

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.
iOS12 function update:
1.Do Not Disturb
The iOS 12 system has a sleep-free
Do Not Disturb function that creates a clean and empty notification
screen to help users sleep more easily at night. Secondly, Apple also
released the function of group notification.
2.Screen Time
The new function on iOS12 is called
screen time Screen Time. Screen time will provide users with the use of
equipment in the past 24 hours or in the last 7 days. Parents can use
screen time to see how their children use devices, or to limit
applications, content, and control privacy settings by creating quotas.
3.AR measuring tool
Measurements can be made using mobile
phones in AR scenarios, and the ARKit, a tool platform for developing AR
applications, is updated to ARKit 2.0. 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
The album has added search function. It
can intelligently recognize photos and improve the accuracy and
accuracy of search. Photos, for example, provide "for you" tags, select
photo effects, and suggest whether you want to send a certain type of
photo to someone.
5.Suggestion
You can turn your voice into a reminder to add to the lock screen.
6. marking junk phone
Includes a function that handles spam messages and calls, as described
in the developer's Web page, allowing application developers to create
plug-ins that allow users to report unwanted messages and calls as spam.
7. sharing precise locations
On the morning of June 19, 2018, Apple announced that iOS 12 would add a
new feature: the system would automatically share accurate location
data with emergency personnel when making 911 calls in the United
States, which would help reduce response time.
Add seven functions:
1.App Store, iTunes Store, Books, TV app, new welcome page of Music App;
2. wallpaper for reordering.
3. remove the wallpaper from the era of iOS 10;
4. new AirPlay icon is added under lock screen status.
5. the font is thicker in the map.
6.Home application and new gradient wallpaper has been added.
7. the horizontal screen mode tells the close button to move to the right.
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.
Note: The new iOS
system may have an unexpected situation when upgraded, which may cause
iOS devices to lose data. This does not mean that the new system of iOS
has problems, and anything can happen unexpectedly. To ensure that your
data is complete, you can backup your data before upgrading the system.
