iOS 12.x.x Speculation Thread [Merged]

Wouldn’t it be awesome if they timed 12.1 official with Mojave and they both had the dark mode/theme!!?
 
I have the worst service provider ..start with an S and I zero issues with reception or wifi dropping on my Max.. or maybe i'm just use to bad service ;)

I think we will see something Monday.. I agree with whoever said it earlier that they may have had an update ready this week but did not release with all the bug reports for the same issue that was getting reported to them..

The fact that tvOS and watchOS have gotten their updates proves that iOS is in the works and not ready. I’m willing to bet the connection issue is causing a delay. watchOS and iOS updates always go hand-in-hand. Something is taking longer than normal.

Well, a bug fix update for a major x.0 update is essentially a given as something that would be in the works even prior to that major update being publicly released. The normal aspect of it, or more like typical based on some past patterns, is just something that is more up in the air in the sense of Apple doing what they feel they should and/or need to do.

There are certainly fixes that they have worked on and are working on, just not necessarily something that wanted/needed to release just a week later, or they had more to work out before releasing what they had.

I’m guessing we should see 12.0.1 next week and 12.1 public release by end of the month based on all .1 releases so far since 8.1 being released end of October.

Really?

Mojave has been out since Monday. Dark mode is the featured addition (the install page for Mojave is all about Dark Mode).

Apple is NEVER going to release a major (and development intensive) feature like this in a x.x release. Never.

If you followed any developers on Twitter or elsewhere this summer, you would see that implementing Dark Mode for Mac apps was not always an easy process. It’s not a matter of simply making pages black or dark grey. There are all sorts of other assets that have to be considered and dealt with, so pages don’t end up looking a mismatch of dark and light elements. Sure, you say, Twitter, Tapatalk and some other apps have implemented it on iOS. But those apps are largely textual and, at least in the case of Twitter and Tapatalk, are generally templated containers. Somewhat easier to implement than a highly illustrated and dynamic page.

iOS 13 is rumored to be a major makeover of the iOS design language. That would be when we can expect a large change like Dark Mode to occur. By that time, a sizable portion of active iPhones will be OLED, allowing Dark Mode to be that much more effective. And developers will have the roughly 90 days between the release of iOS 13 beta 1 and shipment date to get their apps ready for all the changes. They’ll need those days.

So let’s stop asking if Dark Mode is coming anytime during iOS 12.x, ok?

This is a speculation thread, not a fantasy thread.

Ok, just to be certain, you’re saying that we might not see Dark mode in 12.1 Beta 2?

;) :p

I understand. At times with Apple I don’t feel they give any shock value in a positive way. They just do the obvious with little change visually.

Don’t get me wrong I’m happy with how it is now. I felt I sense of disappointment this time around with a fifth consecutive year with the same look with little new to look at.

I’m liking the iOS 12 os so far though. It’s the strongest one yet. Just would have been nice for Apple to not be so rigid for once.

Yeah true, just would have been cool for Apple to shock everyone and say oh by the way, look what we’ve got for you!

I hear you. But this just has too much for developers to do for Apple to be able to do that.

I think you can count on it for next year, though.
