Since the release of the new operating system iOS Only the last few hours separate us from 12. The system that Apple been testing since the June developer conference WWDC, will be released on our iPhones, iPads and iPods on September 17th. But it makes sense after last year's fiasco with the system iOS 11, which was really bad in the first few versions and Applu was more or less optimized only a few months ago, to switch? I will try to answer this question in the following lines. New iOS We have been testing 12 on several devices in the editorial office since the first developer beta, so we have managed to form a fairly good opinion of it after about a quarter of a year of testing. What do you think about the new iOS So we think 12?

Already at the very introduction of the system Apple he emphasized several times that his main weapon should be overall acceleration, stability and high performance both on new and on all old devices. And exactly these words Apple The operating system ran really well from the first beta, and with each new update you felt a certain acceleration on your phone. Of course, this was most noticeable on older devices, which could have been upgraded to last year's version. iOS 11 lose your breath. Whether it is iPhone 5s, 6 or iPads Air, all with transition to iOS 12 have really come to life and are significantly faster when browsing the system. 

You will also feel the speed and stability when launching applications, which is also comparable to iOS 11 is slightly faster. On older devices, you will notice a really noticeable speedup, especially in the camera application, which on our iPhonech 6 and 6s starts almost in the blink of an eye. On the other hand, I have to admit that there is still a certain reserve and I secretly hope that it Apple can delete in future updates. 

Modern design at every step

While last year we saw a redesigned control center or App This year was a hundred Apple when remaking the graphics settings more modest. They also received a nice design improvementBooks, which are now called Books. The design of this application is reminiscent of the one used in App Store. Everything is really very intuitive and in my opinion really nicely done. So if you are used to iPhone Whether you use it as a book reader or simply save PDFs to this application, you will definitely be satisfied. Simplicity, agility and stability are its synonyms. For example, the Dictaphone has also been redesigned, which now looks cleaner and more modern in my opinion. The Akcie application is also worth mentioning, as it has also undergone an interesting redesign, but has almost identical features to those that Apple performed for the aforementioned applications. This too is now more intuitive and looks significantly more modern. In short, a pleasure to work with her.

U iOS 12 definitely needs to be mentioned as well as the improvements to the Photos application, which brings several interesting new features that make searching for individual photos much easier. This is now really perfect and if you had problems in previous versions, you won't have any more now. The system can find practically anything by keywords, of course even if you write the words in Czech. Apple also in iOS 12 focused on making it easier to share your photos with friends and tries to encourage you to send them to them or just view them with them and remember the pleasant moments spent, which is great because from time to time the app will notify you of a photo that you have already forgotten about and will put a smile on your face. 

You will love stacking notifications

But enough of the fuss about redesigned applications, iOS 12 of course brings more of that. One of the really perfect gadgets is definitely notification stacking, which works really well. If, like me, you receive dozens of notifications on your device every day, practically non-stop, this gadget can really make your life more pleasant. All notifications are automatically sorted into stacks that you can expand and browse through. Thanks to this, everything is very clear and if, for example, you are waiting for a few important iMessage, you definitely nestno, you would have to search for them in a lot of notifications from Twitter or Instagram, as you might have done before. Personally, I would even call this improvement the best thing that iOS 12 brought. 

Another very interesting new feature that has been talked about and written about a lot is Screen Time. Although it didn't work 100% for us at first, it now works without any problems and believe me, it can really make you hate using your phone or tablet. When you look at the collected data and find out how much time you've spent on your device, you'll really think about yourself. And that's exactly what Applu went. We would also find a few other nice things in the system, led by the Small Business, which will really improve your sleep quality, because you won't be dazzled by the colorful wallpaper when checking the time.

You can manage even without 3D Touch

As for the control of the device itself, it has also received some nice upgrades. For example, if you bring up the control center and don't have your phone at hand,oneWith 3D Touch support, just hold your finger on the wheel in the upper right corner for a moment and the “Clear all notifications” option will immediately appear. I also really like the ability to call up a sliding cursor while typing on the keyboard by holding your finger between the letters, which was previously only possible on phones.onech with 3D Touch. It is simply seen that Apple its users with older iPhones are not indifferent and try to accommodate them as much as possible. On the other hand, it is clear that he added these elements for the sake of the new iPhone XR, which does not currently have 3D Touch.

But in order not only to praise, there is one detail that personally does not please me too much and is rather a step backwards. The Bluetooth icon has disappeared from the status bar, which is rather annoying, and if you are used to using Bluetooth devices like me, you will have to check its activity through the control center. Sure, it's very easy, but not as easy as when the icon was in the status bar. 

I would like to finish by talking about battery life, which many of you have a problem with. I admit that I am also on the iPhone 6s. iOS 11 experienced worse battery life with some updates, but this was resolved by switching to iOS 12 has improved. Although it is not a bad thing (which cannot be because of the 90% battery capacity), this improvement will please you. So if you are thinking about upgrading because of the deteriorated battery from iOS 11, you might be happy with the upgrade in this regard.

záver

What can I say in conclusion? In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. iOS 12 is simply Applu was a success and although it doesn't smell like anything new, I have a very good feeling about it. The system simply fulfills everything that Apple promised – speed, stability and reliability. So if you still iOS 12 (of course in beta version) installed, don't worry about installing it tomorrow. Mischief like iOS 11 last year will not really do anything to your device, quite the opposite. And until Apple will also add group FaceTime calls to the system, which should also appear in it, we will really "grunt with happiness".
