My 6s, Air2 and X all run absolutely fabulous on iOS12! iOS12 even fixed the crappie gps performance my X was having on iOS11 from the beginning. Location has been precise since updating this morning. I’m very happy with what Apple has done to fix performance across the board.
Its runs like a champ for me on an iphone SE. I waited on 9.0.3 for this to come out when people were reporting it was really good.
Battery life...amazing. 30 mins of pandora, watched a couple of video clips from my sister....still at 100%. They really have tweaked the code or something!

How come I can't see the IOS 12 update when I go to iTunes? It still shows 11.4. I'm still on 10.3.2 on i7+. I want to do it through iTunes and set up as new
Edit: Nevermind, once I hit restore, it changed to 12

So my wife’s iPhone 7 does have performance increase, more so than my X felt.
My kids 6S is much faster as well like I thought it would be. He can easily wait for another year and two months until I hand down my X to him and get a new phone for myself. By then, I will have used my 6S for four years.
IOS 12.0 is like a breath of second life to older iphones. I’d like to see the older phone speed tests vs their completion again, watch them vs those old android phones that don’t get any updates. See how the fare now vs each other comparison.
Way to go Apple taking care of ALL your 64bit phones, not just last years model with this update.

YES. This is BY FAR the best Apple release in YEARS. iPhone X feels three times as fast, so does Apple Watch Series 3, so does iPad Pro, so does Apple TV, and thanks to new desktop Chrome from Google, which is blazing, it's like every device I own is MUCH MUCH MUCH faster ACROSS THE BOARD than a few days ago.
Thank you Apple! Features are fine but super-fast performance? YES PLEASE!
I totally skipped iOS 11 on my iPhone 7 with all the negative press. Took the plung on iOS 12 today and first impressions WOW, it’s really really good.
Closest release yet to the smoothness of ios6 era
Please keep the rest of us updated on battery life. Not willing to trade performance gains for decreased battery life, thanks!
Battery life is much better than iOS 11. With normal use on my 6s with 94% battery health I'd usually be around 60% by lunch. Now on 12 I'm in the high 80s to low 90s. If you have a device capable of running iOS 12 do it. It's the best iOS in a long time. It feels like the 4s did on iOS 5/6.
For me it’s much better than the nightmare that was the iOS 11 update. This is how iOS updates should be handled, press update and have no fear the next update is going to wreck your experience. It took months for me to feel satisfied with iOS 11. The only thing I don’t like is the new side bar on the IPad news app.
Could well be. Seems Safari is my biggest battery drainer at the moment but to be honest my X generally sits on my desk at work while I listen to music via AirPods and my watch takes most of the notifications.
I also have background app refresh disabled for everything apart from maps and my works helpdesk app.
Something is definitely different or maybe it is just battery wear after a year of ownership and the timing is a coincidence.
