You could say that. You could also say that the focus of iOS 11 was not on older devices, but rather on new ones. So I won't go as far as to say Apple did it on purpose, but I think they saw just how long people are holding on to their older devices and shifted their focus.
errrr... that's extremely inaccurate. Not only that, this statement proves you know absolutely nothing about programming at all. a single line of code, once compiled can adversely affect something totally opposite very easily.
1. notifications was overhauled to allow grouping
2. Animoji is entirely new addition to Messages.
3. Entirely new Camera Effects.
4. Screen Time which required the addition of a entirely new set of settings that requires API hooks in to EVERYTHING
5.New DND methods and controls... expanded API's
6. Photos got overhauled... likely included new API's
And thats just the surface...
Just because there are minimal user facing changes, doesnt mean that behind all the glossy UI you see there are not MILLIONS of changes. As a developer on many platforms, i can tell you not every update is glamourious and sometimes, adding, fixing or revising one thing can change another..

After installing updates (I’m talking about third party app updates), the progress bars never filled in but once I force quit the App Store they showed as installed.
How do you charge your phone? What chargers do you use?
A few updates in the For you tab of the photos app :
- You can force touch and swipe up on suggested sharing to delete them
- They are new "Suggested photos" and "Suggested effects" in the bottom of the tab
My iPhone is in french language, sorry if the translation of the sections names is not perfect.

Same here , my battery health dropped to 99% after install.
But my iPhone X is 5
Month old so expected!
Music now plays properly without the Apple Music pop-up. Yay!!
[doublepost=1531854783][/doublepost]I’m also noticing texts/photos in texts sending a lot faster. Not sure if it’s a beta thing or a coincidence but I’m not complaining.

Mobile wise there is none, not because they can't, but simply because they(Samsung & Co.) don't have an AppStore like Apple, which is the main reason to longer term support a mobile phone. Only original Google devices are well supported, because Google owns the main Android Play Store.
Anyway, they are companies and not humanitarian institutions.
Their primary goal is naturally to milk all the people out there, the one or the other way.
Longer iOS support leads to more App sales, etc.
Just tactic!
Screen Time finally works for me since beta 1.
Everyone keeps reporting all these issues with beta 4, and it's working perfectly on my iPhone X, go figure.
Obviously they're a company that is responsible to their shareholders for turning a profit, but how they do it is important. How many Android phones are supported by their latest update? Not even close to the number of iPhones. So even though iOS 11 was ROUGH (nobody is arguing that), I think Apple deserves credit for their approach. I'm not saying they're perfect, but I much prefer them over any of the other companies out there.
Would it be possible for you to help with a screenshot? Your post got me curious as to what you are talking about regarding transparency of CC.
For me too on iPhone 7. Didn’t see a lot of people complaining.
No I don’t know anything about programming or code because I am not a programmer. I can only state what I see. I just fear we’re gonna venture into iOS 11 territory because beta 1 and 2 were far better than beta 3 and this fourth beta. I sure hope this isn’t the case because as we all know iOS 11 was trash and felt like it was still in beta the entire time from its offcial release. I hope it isn’t going to be the same case this year because Apple’s software has left a lot to be desired in recent years.
I suggest reading this article to get an insight why iOS 12 is improving performance.

That attitude makes me respect Apple even more, as it would indeed take a lot of courage to just ignore the negativity and keep working to improve on the previous. No one claims they are Gods who do not make mistakes, and there are plenty who blame God for making mistakes too.
Thing is, had they just left the state of iOS to what it was, people would crib as usual. No harm done and people would still be buying new devices as they have.
But, now they made a version go back to the first 64-bit device released 5 years ago and perform spiritedly, giving users of old devices probably one more year of life out of their devices, and it would seem they have shot themselves in the foot, because now people use Apple's own software against Apple by calling it proof of planned obsolescence. Come on, guys. Come on.
There really is no winning any argument, sometimes.
I think I'm noticing tweaks to the system (San Francisco) font in this beta -
Go to a conversation in the Messages app. Does the San Francisco font look a bit narrower and taller than beta 3? Or am I going crazy?

This video from WWDC is excellent too. Touches on pretty much the same topics as the iMore article but has a little more depth and examples.

I don’t think it would be useful as I don’t have a screenshot of what it looked like before they changed it. It is more noticeable on darker backgrounds like in Stocks where it used to be more transparent and darker to reflect the background, now it is kind of ‘murky’ looking as if there’s cellophane covering it. The controls aren’t as clear as a result.
Edit: It won’t let me upload anything on here for some reason. Says “problem occurred” for me. Maybe a bug in iOS 12?
