    Other Apple A12 vs A13 NPU

    iPhone iOS 12 on iPhone 5s? (Speed, battery)

    Update ipad air 2 to ios 11?

    As the title says, should I update my iPad air 2 from ios 10.3.3 to ios 11.4? I'm always really sceptical about updating an older device to a newer firmware as i'm afraid the performance could be worse. Thanks in advance!
