Apple released their new iOS 12 beta 2 software yesterday, the software brings a range of new features to Apple’s devices.
The video below from Everything Apple Pro gives us a good look at some of the new features that are included in the new beta software. There are apparently around 70 new changes and features in the latest beta.
Performance Enhancements and Speed Improvements
Apple’s iOS 12 is designed to focus on speed and performance improvements, we saw some speed tests of the software earlier today. The new beta version aims to make older devices more efficient, which is a significant move by Apple to ensure that even users with older iPhones and iPads can benefit from the latest software updates. For instance, apps are expected to launch up to 40% faster, the keyboard appears up to 50% faster, and the camera can open up to 70% faster. These enhancements are particularly noticeable on older devices like the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6.
New Features and Functionalities
In addition to performance improvements, iOS 12 beta 2 introduces a variety of new features. One of the most talked-about features is the new Memoji, which allows users to create personalized Animoji that look like them. This feature is an extension of the Animoji introduced in iOS 11 and adds a fun, customizable element to messaging.
Another significant addition is the Screen Time feature, which provides users with detailed reports on how much time they spend on their devices and within specific apps. This feature is part of Apple’s broader initiative to promote digital well-being and help users manage their screen time more effectively.
The beta also includes Group FaceTime, which allows up to 32 participants to join a single video call. This feature is expected to be a game-changer for both personal and professional communication, making it easier to connect with multiple people simultaneously.
Notifications have also been revamped in iOS 12. The new grouped notifications feature allows users to manage their notifications more efficiently by grouping them by app and topic. This makes it easier to keep track of important alerts without being overwhelmed by a flood of notifications.
Moreover, the Photos app has received a significant update with a new “For You” tab that curates memories, shared album suggestions, and more. The search functionality within Photos has also been enhanced, making it easier to find specific images based on events, people, and places.
The software is coming later on in the year along with the three new iPhone X handsets. We are expecting Apple to release iOS 12 some time in September or October. As soon as we get some more information about the software, we will let you guys know.
