iOS 12, the next version of iOS, will be released
to Apple devices in the fall of 2018, and its
preview started to enter the eye-sight of the
public at the keynote event at the WWDC 2018
(Worldwide Developers Conference) on June 4. iOS
updates were originally introduced in a beta or
pre-release testing version, and the official
version follows after that.
The first iOS 12 developer beta was available
after the WWDC keynote (we have now reached the
sixth beta), but it is only for registered
developers as the name suggests. The public beta
version for the public is available for download
on June 25. And the final public release of iOS
12.0 will take place in the fall - probably in
mid-to-late September.

Part 2. iOS 12 New Features
1. Performance Improvement iOS 12 is able to
speed up the things you do every day on your
iPhone or iPad, providing your a faster and more
responsive experience. For example, when you
launch camera, load an app, or type with the
keyboard, it reacts faster than ever if you are
doing it a lot on your device. Apps launch up to
2X faster under heavy workload the keyboard
displays up 50 faster and sliding to Camera can
be up to 70 faster. This performance
improvements happen on both new and old devices
as long as they are supported by iOS 12.
5
The performance improvement is to optimize the
system when under load, Apple said. And also iOS
12 boosts performance as needed and then lowers
it when needed to extend battery life. According
to WWDC, Apple has optimized peak load
requirements to better distribute access the
processing power inside the device. The
application is about to double its boot speed
under load after upgrading to the newest iOS 12,
even though it is an old iPhone 5s and iPod
Air. 2. Group FaceTime In iOS 12, FaceTime
supports video and audio for up to 32 people at a
time. With Group FaceTime, all participants can
be seen in the tiled view, and the tile of the
person who's speaking will automatically grow
bigger, so you will never lose track of the
conversation. You can also double-tap on the
person you want to view using the Focus View.
6
You can launch Group FaceTime directly from a
group thread in Messages, or you can also join an
on going Group FaceTime at any time. And you can
answer the Group FaceTime calls on iPhone, iPad,
Mac, Apple Watch and HomePod. With two options,
you can only join a chat with audio instead of
video. Besides, Group FaceTime call sends a
silent, no-ring notification to participants who
can tap to join. FaceTime has been more deeply
integrated into the Messages, so you can start a
FaceTime call in either an individual chat or
group chat. Also, FaceTime includes the same
Effects camera introduced in Messages, allowing
you to access Animoji and Memoji, filters,
stickers, etc. when you are in FaceTiming.

3. Memoji and Animoji Both of Animoji and Memoji
are available for Messages and FaceTime in iOS
12. As for devices with a TrueDepth camera
system, Animoji in iOS 12 comes with new
features, such as tongue detection and better
face tracking. Through tongue detection, Animoji
can stick out a tongue and also choose to detect
blinks.
8
Animoji recordings can now last up to 30 seconds,
which is 10 seconds higher than in iOS 11, so you
can record longer Animoji messages. And there are
also new Animoji options available, including
Ghost, Koala, Tiger and T-Rex, as well as a new
customizable Animoji experience called
Memoji. Memoji is a new type of customizable
Animoji, which enables you to create a Memoji to
fit your personality and mood. You can choose
skin color, hair color, hair style, eye color,
eyebrows, nose, freckles and facial hair,
accessories and headwear. There is no limit to
the number of Memoji you can create, so you can
add more than one for each look you want to
express.

4. Augmented Reality and ARKit 2 ARKit 2.0 makes
some other improvements, such as better 3D object
detection, face tracking, realistic rendering,
persistent experiences and shared experiences.
Apple designed a new file format called USDZ,
which retains 3D graphics and animations in iOS
12. This means that you can see augmented reality
assets in Safari, Mail, Messages and more.
10
And a new AR app called Measure is available in
iOS 12, which allows you measure real-world
objects just by pointing your device's camera at
them. For example, by tapping two points on a
table using your iPhone's camera, you can see the
measurement for the table's length and width in
real word. What's more, when you are viewing a
rectangular object such as a book, the system
will automatically recognize the shape and offer
you the measurements of the book.
5. Screen Time Screen time is a new feature built
into the Settings app in iOS 12 and it aims at
helping you suppress iPhone addiction and achieve
a healthier balance between gadgets and life. It
can analyze the time you spend on your device and
each app and provides a summary of weekly usage
habits to help you set a fixed time limit for
each app. You will be notified when time's up. Of
course, you can ask for more time if you want.
11
Other features in iOS 12 for combating iPhone
addiction - Do Not Disturb darken the display
and hide all notifications on the lock screen
while sleeping. - Group Notifications Allow
users to combine notifications with swipes and
