      [deleted post]You do need to understand. the phrasing was not exactly clear to me. At first I thought you've referred to the cycle of apple's release schedule... eh. it's not important right now.
      you've got your answer more or less.

        Let's hope the stable build with do the battery and performance justice this time. As with the cluttered settings menu, well...I guess it won't change for a foreseeable future we might as well chew the hard pill and live with it. :|

          Seriously please use your brain instead of your fan thinking next time.
          They wouldn't update it with software that hinders it to make you upgrade. No they would leave better performing software on that's still up to date enough. That will make you upgrade for sure!!
          ....... did you even think before posting that? Please tellme no. That you just fam reacted without thinking. Not that thiswas seriously the level of thinking you could accomplish...

            Anonymous, 05 Jun 2018No. They simply are not. And that fact that you still belie... moreSo I stated Android Fans should be happy for Apple and Apple Users.
            You said "no" because "reasons".

            Clearly you have a horse in this race, and are biased through your teeth.
            I'm on the side of the consumer. For Apple consumers, this is a good update. For Android consumers, this puts pressure to support older hardware, tighten up performance, and catch up on some features they lack. It's a win-win situation in my eyes....clearly not in yours as you want a world where iPhones explode and people stop using them.

            Yet you're the type of person to root for the underdog, so in such a flipped world you would fanboy iOS and call Android a laggy piece of work. We have seen your kind many times here. And most of us have grown to put our biases to the side, and congratulate our competitors on their successes: like good sportsmanship in boxing.

              Anonymous, 05 Jun 2018Clearly not what you said originally or what I pointed out.... morepart two.
              THAT would mean, mate. that APPLICATION of ANY scale. (from a mere addon to a whole OS) takes an arc of beta testing. which is the UNSTABLE form of the software. and after bug squashing and testing. it reaches a level it is bearable. and thus becoming "stable". ofcourse. Stable doesn't mean bugless. it would refer to the fact it has insufficient amount of bugs to be considered unstable.
              back to our topic: the iOS being questionaired.
              I am absulutely not an apple girl. mate. I am an android fan. however. due to the fact I am a developer. my work forces me to have both OSes to develop to both and test. so I will kindly request: DO NOT mock my knowledge or my understanding of iOS because in that region. I would ASSUME I am about the same as you. the avarage user.
              As for usuality: I repeat. it refers to the frame of updates. Major (x.0.0 versions) ever since version 6 were released at september. on varying dates of the months. so that would refer to the world "USUALLY" in the sentence I answered to one of the commenters here.
              I believe it's enough brain drilling. no?

                PEEKAY, 05 Jun 2018When this IOS12 will be available?Apple official site: At fall.
                EXPECTED release. (not sure at all and take it with a pound of salt.)
                around september.

                  Anonymous, 05 Jun 2018Clearly not what you said originally or what I pointed out.... moreI think I understand what you meant. annonymous guy.
                  It refers to the level the amount of bugs is usable by a user, hence stable.
                  and usual is the frame of updates.
