IPP 12.9 G2 LTE and 8+.
It is better than iOS 11. For a x.0 that says a lot.
It isn't the improvement on these two devices I was hoping for.
It has some bugs.
Still, it is better than 11.4.1.
I can live with that.

In my opinion iOS 12 is way better than any iOS before it but yet it seems half baked. I do see the speed improvement on my mini 2 though.
iOS 12 has been buttery smooth on my 6s and has given it a new life. Almost makes me second question the XS I have coming. On my iPad Pro I haven't noticed much performance improvement, but I appreciate the iPhone X style new gestures which IMO are a nice improvement over those in iOS 11. Having the time on the left instead of the centre is a bit weird, but I think overall it's better and I'll get used to it. The lack of any major new features is not a big deal to me. Sure, new features are cool, but after a few days the novelty wears off. Performance ultimately is much more welcome and I am very impressed with what Apple has managed with that on this update.
I think it's a great update and folks shouldn't hesitate to upgrade! My list of features that are clear winners:
1. Grouped notifications. If you prefer scrolling down a wall of notifications like on iOS 11, not sure what to tell you. Honestly, I thought we had this feature in iOS 8 or so and it got pulled? Could be wrong though.
2. Performance.
3. Automatic install of iOS updates overnight. Surprised noone is talking about this. Turned on by default so everyone will be upgraded to the latest quickly.
4. Security Code Autofill.
5. New DnD options and Notification options.
Overall, very solid update and Group FaceTime is coming. Now I need to go find 31 friends to make use of it.

Notifications could be grouped and sorted prior to iOS 11 (or was it 10), but the grouping would just put related ones together without combining them into a stack or anything like that--so you would still have to scroll just as much if you had a lot of notifications.
OP, are you Canadian?
Not turned on by default. For my two phones, after the install, iOS 12 asked me if I wanted to turn on the feature or not. It’s part of the initial setup process.
That’s probably because the battery is junk now. Same on my 7+.
Is it supposed to look different? Looks the same to me. Battery percentage and a battery icon.
Quite possible. I considered contacting my local Apple Store about replacing my battery, but decided to buy a XS, instead.

Ah, ok... it says my Maximum Capacity is 81%
Apple defines 80% and under as worn.Quite possible. I considered contacting my local Apple Store about replacing my battery, but decided to buy a XS, instead.

Also, what does it say for Peak Performance Capability?

Yep. Mine is 85% and sucks.
Just the description: "This iPhone has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery was unable to deliver the necessary peak power."
Time to replace your battery. Luckily it's cheap at Apple until the end of the year.
My 7 Plus is at 90% with "Your battery is currently supporting normal peak performance".
I don't need to replace my battery, but I might anyway in November, just to take advantage of the battery repair program with the discounted pricing.
Definite performance improvement here.
ios12 has fixed my lethargic ipad-mini and the airpod drop-outs that I have had since 11.3
Although now... my attention is shifting to the user interface....if only they had changed it....

Did the the battery not have to be below peak performance to qualify?
For eligible iPhones, the battery does not have to be below peak performance to qualify. But it may be bit of a waste of time and money if your battery is OK and you're going to upgrade the phone next year anyway.
This year Apple will replace the battery at a discounted rate whether or not it's worn (by their definition or any other).

Pretty much once it goes under 90% the effects start becoming noticeable, and as it gets closer to 80% or below it becomes that much more obvious.
iOS 6 wasn’t broken and they redesigned it anyway... what did you think about iOS during the iOS 7 days?
