Sure. That philosophy worked with my car and home. Why not with my phone?
I just updated my 6 and its unusable. Insane lag and apps crashing all over. Disappointment so far. I suddenly have that "I need a new Phone feeling..."
Everything was fine 45 minutes.
Steve Jobs would be ashamed.

I'm getting the complete opposite. everything feels good on my end. If this keeps up ill get my battery replaced before the end of the year and use this phone for another year or two.
I just updated my 6s and it seems fine. Definite increase in speed in launching some apps (notably the camera), but otherwise feels about the same. My 6s was pretty speedy anyway. I'll report in a few days about battery life. It seems okay so far but last update I had battery problems that didn't seem to happen until night time. It would inexplicably drain completely overnight for no reason.
I updated my 6s within the past hour and it’s working fine. My phone was already fast so it feels even faster. I’ve also got a brand new battery at 29.00 recently at Apple.
The only issue is my dock changed to a solid black background. My wallpaper is not even black at the bottom so I don’t know why it’s black. I even tried setttings and transparency but that doesn’t change anything it’s still black. The color of my wallpaper behind my dock is green grass so why my dock is black I have no idea.

Can you post a screen shot of that? I'd really like to see it.
My 6S feels faster than ever, even faster than iOS 10. I think this is the best update Apple have ever released.
Your lost iOS 12 is way better than 10. Better features and performance feels the same.
So what are you doing in the iOS 12 thread? Watching what others can have but you purposefully are not getting? Seems like masochism to me.
Just here to know how the new version is like for our device. I'm not the user you quoted but I have a 6s on iOS 9. I like to know how's performance and battery life on the newer iOS version.
I currently have iOS 12 installed on my Air 2.

My 6S is as fast now as the day I bought it and I want five years from it before I decide what to do next. iOS builds always slowdown older devices as Apple is pretty lame at doing proper performance testing.
I also want to keep my phone as long as possible and I can assure to you that my 6s plus is still very fast and fluit with iOS 12.
The thing I don't like when using a version of iOS older than 2 years is some apps start to stop supporting this iOS version so if possible, I want to be as up to date as possible on my iOS devices.
It is great that apparently performance was increased for older devices like the 6s, but I wonder what the effects on battery life might be. I see two possibilities:
- the system and apps run more efficient, hence better performance, and also longer battery life because there is less to compute, or
- the system and apps drain more power from the battery in order to provide a better performance, hence shorter battery life.
