iOS 12.x.x Speculation Thread [Merged]

[gwhizkids]

I don't believe the stories, I've been speculating since iOS 8 that iOS 13 will be the redesign. Every three years there is a subtle design change, and the 7th year is a full redesign.

Regardless of whether iOS 12 was supposed to be the “Big One”, I think we agree that expectations are high for iOS 13.

Completely agree. Been looking forward to it since iOS 10.

I expect iOS 13 to be really big for th iPad given the newly added usb-c support. I expect external display support (not jus mirroring) and external storage support. Other than that I’m not sure.

 

[gwang73]

I'm hoping for system wide dark mode and with active icons on the home screen in iOS 13

maybe 12.1.1 will be a short beta period and we will still get 12.2 this year?

Maybe. But Apple has to fix the eSim ASAP, so we maybe on 12.1.1 for a bit.

 

[mattburley7]

what if there is a major bug found in 12.1 and they need to release an update right away.

include the fix in 12.1.1 and release to the public and start a new beta of 12.1.2?

Yeah, they didn't really leave much room for that. They could have released this as something like iOS 12.1.5 beta to leave some room for quicker bug fix updates if needed. Either they are fairly confident there isn't going to be something like that, or 12.1.1 is something that is planned to be released fairly soon.

 

[Broken Hope]

12.1 only had 5 beta releases, I can’t imagine 12.1.1 will have many and will probably go weekly from the start.

Probably weekly and maybe one or two weeks.

 

[mattburley7]

last year 11.1.1 was released a week and half after 11.1. thats the earliest i think we could see it but there wasnt a beta either.

Just wanted to ask how is the performance on 12.1.1 and if there is some battery issues.

iOS 12.1.1 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements would be a good place to check.

iPhone 7 - looks the Same as 12.1b5

[john991]

Beta 2 tomorrow or Tuesday?

As I wish Apple would fix the eSim issue and hopefully add a toggle for which number your texting from.

 

[Broken Hope]

Apparently WatchOS 5.1.1 today, wonder if that means the other X.1.1 updates will release today also?

Poss. Guessing 5.1.1 is easier than trying to fix 5.1

 

[dan9700]

12.1.1 wont come after 1 beta but watchos has no choice

 

[mattburley7]

im expecting 5 betas for 12.1.1 so no public release today

 

[Banglazed]

watchOS took the spotlight today so maybe tomorrow

 

[john991]
