How would you rate iOS 12 so far?

Beta 9 is very stable. No complaints so far. Much better than the entire iOS 11 ecosystem.
For me it’s the best version of iOS since iOS 6. Just feels more stable and nippier. I love it... but I still see jank from time to time 
It would be great is iOS12 FINALLY give us DEFAULT APPS in the settings. But instead, Apple continues to violate anti-trust laws by forcing their software upon their users.
I’d say the best because it is the accumulation of every feature (ok, most features) that have gone into iOS over the years and executes all this more smoothly than it has for at least a couple of years imo. And we’re only at 12.0.
I run it on my IPP 9.7 and it seems to run better now than the day I got it. The latest beta of iOS 12 is really nice, smooth and fast.
Could I have the public iOS beta 12 on my iPhone X and still run the "normal" watchOS 4.3.2 on my series 3 without any big issues?
I run it on my iPad Pro 10.5" and iPhone 7 Plus and agree, you simply would not know my iPhone is nearly 2 years old. Smooth as silk on both devices.
I find it to be very solid. It's not the best versions of iOS (yet), but it certainly has the potential. It's light years ahead of iOS 11, which I had very little issue with, in and of itself. I am extremely pleased, especially for a beta release.
I voted for better than iOS 10 and 11. It has definitely sped up an old 5s I have and gave it a new lease on life. The actual user experience to me is not a huge upgrade from iOS 11. That being said though how it benefits older devices is pretty cool.
I’ve been on the beta on and off but it’s not my daily driver because of a few app incompatibilities.
It’s felt like the most stable iOS (public) beta, ever.
On my 7 128, it feels very much like iOS 11.5 but that’s no bad thing at all (and then some).
It’s worth it just for the speed increases and the general feel of bug fixing and polishing.
Having said that...
Disappointed by screen time, which doesn’t feel quite finished and very complicated to use.
In the end, I’d rather that Apple move to a ‘tick/tock’ schedule and always prioritise speed and stability over new features.
Having a phone that just works, feels fast and is rock solid stable are the most important features of them all.

Running on my IPP 12.9 G2. Better than 11 but not as good as 10. Still seeing some of the 11 issues.
