I thought that iOS 12 would improve this for Portrait mode generally. I have an iPhone 7 Plus and sure hope that these benefits are available on my iPhone (which doesn't have these specific effects — just vanilla Portrait mode).
Has anyone see improvements in Portrait mode in the beta?
“Apple believes privacy is a fundamental human right, which is why iOS has always been designed with built-in encryption, on-device intelligence, and other tools that let you share what you want on your terms.” It isn’t often that you see any company the size of Apple take that strong of a stance. Privacy is their best feature and it seems like they are doubling down.
Though I believe Apple bowed to China to give them access to Chinese citizen's iCloud data. But you can operate an iPhone without iCloud fairly easily, which is definitely nice. Doing more on-device helps them here. https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/18/17587304/apple-icloud-chi...
For iCloud Drive, we should be able to manage which files are saved locally and which aren’t. As is, documents can be manually downloaded but there’s no way to reverse it and have the given documents stored back only in the cloud (freeing up local storage). Then magically a week or more later stuff is uploaded and no longer stored locally. It feels fickle and frustrating.
I loaded up a bunch of travel books on a 32GB iPad for an overseas trip this summer only to have them all evaporate shortly thereafter. Every time I got on decent WiFi I would redownload and reimport them from iCloud Drive. Sometimes they would stick around for a few days and sometimes they would be gone in literally hours (gone from the device, not from iCloud Drive).
Incredibly frustrating if you have big reading plans for your offline time. My understanding is that there's no way to get the books to stay put without disabling iBooks iCloud syncing and then loading or importing them the old fashion way (from Dropbox, or via iTunes etc).

"iOS 12 on the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 Plus, and iPad Mini 2: It’s actually faster!" https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/09/ios-12-on-the-iphone...
This is persuasive, but I wonder why they didn't test the SE. Maybe because the 5S is older but quite similar/appeals to the same market?

I'm still on iOS 10 on my iPhone SE. Why should I upgrade? Even if there was a convincing reason to, I'm afraid performance will tank, as it often does on older iPhones getting their last update.
One of the main focuses of iOS 12 was improving performance across the board, especially for older phones.

Well just the other day there was a bug that causes iOS to restart if a webpage is structured in a particular way Edit for more information: I've been using iOS 12 on my SE for a while (beta) and while in all honesty I've not really found anything particularly great, more importantly I've not had any non-beta-related issues - slowdowns or otherwise I am looking forward to playing with shortcuts, but have yet to
It would slow down with iOS 12, right? Those speed gains are compared to non-ancient versions?
I've been using the beta for a few months now. Overall I'm pretty impressed. It really does make my phone work better than before. But I'm most excited about Waze support on CarPlay, which does not appear to have dropped today.
