Hmm I was wondering, should I update my iPhone 6S to iOS 12 beta 6? I'm so curious and I didnt even had the iOS 11, at all. I'm still running iOS 10.3.3
The thing I care the most is perfomance. So idk what to do? Any advices? Anyone running iOS 12b6 on their 6S?
 
Check out YouTube, there are some videos doing the comparison, like this one of an early iOS 12 beta vs iOS 10.3 on iPhone 6S:


This should give you a rough idea.
 
I’m actually running the beta on my friend’s 6S and it’s been pretty and some performance boost on older device than iOS 11. I would recommend it.
 
Because I want to start testing screen time reports across devices and Apple IDs, I just yesterday updated my daughter's 6s to current public beta. No problems so far but it is still early.

Seems like a parent still cannot pull up a screen time report for a child device yet, though. Hopefully soon.
 
I have a 6S. iOS12 is noticeably faster than 11, and even slightly faster (if memory serves) than iOS10. Go for it.

I don't use the new screen-time functionality though. According to what I've read it's still all over the place.
 
So I need restore to iOS 11.4 and then update to 12b6? I didnt do this in a quite some time

Because you are on 10.x I'd update to latest public release first (so yes, 11.x) and then hop over to 12 beta (whatever is available at the time, it is speculated a new Beta might come Monday). Path from 10.x > 12 might also be OK but as most Apple devices are updated pretty quickly I think going from 11.x would be the most exercised path.

If you care about performance the most, then there's no reason to update.
In my opinion, it can get worse or at best stay the same - I doubt it, though - but I'm happily running iOS 9 on my 6s and it's flawless.

Tbh iOS is way faster then iOS 9
