Shortcuts - Siri can still never compete with google assistant .. shortcuts it seems !!

ARKit 2 .. useless .. hardly used by 99% of them and hardly any good apps make use of AR kit

CarPlay .... They had to provide third party as apple maps is useless

iPad
The Voice Memos and Stocks apps are now available for iPads .... wan't it not available till today ????? ... simple apps a high school kid can develop and apple needs a big time
ios release to provide these on ipad .. SHAME !!!!

Control Center is once again separated from the app switcher on iPad ... they keep changing control center ... it's useless update

Keyboard Edit
In iOS 12, the trackpad mode (which allows the user to freely move the cursor) is enabled by long-pressing the space bar on devices without 3D Touch
... LOL ... they had to do this for iPhone XR. The 3D touch itself was a joke ... useless update

Messages Edit
Messages in iOS 12 introduces a new type of customizable Animoji called "Memoji" which allows a user to create a 3D character of themselves.
Apple also introduced Koala, Tiger, Ghost and T-Rex Animojis. ... Yeh none of these work on your iphone 7 .. what you talking about .. lmao !!!

FaceTime Edit
FaceTime gains support for Animoji and Memoji..... hehe try it once and forget kind of feature !!!!


Measure Edit
Main article: Measure (Apple)
Measure could have been a new app ..need not be included with major yearly updates


Photos Edit
Photos now supports suggestions through a "For You" section and will make sharing recommendations
..... useless recommendations .. google photos does better job on iphones than photos

Notifications Edit
Notifications are now grouped and have a "manage" tab, to turn off notifications for that app or to deliver them quietly.
.... lol was it not there till now .. our android have this from 2016 ..so don't brag about getting this in september 2018 .. lmao !!!!

Do Not Disturb Edit
Do Not Disturb now has a feature called "Do Not Disturb During Bedtime"
to automatically send notifications to history, send calls to voicemail .... LOL !!!!

Voice Memos and Stocks Edit
The Voice Memos and Stocks apps are now on iPads. Voice Memos and Stocks have had a design refresh, and the latter has integrated Apple News.
.. yeh redesign is what people were missing badly .... ROFL ... useless feature listed in ios 12

Apple Books Edit
iBooks was renamed Apple Books, and the app was refreshed, with a Discover Tab, Book Store, and more.[30]
.... WOW ... renaming is amazing feature !!!!!!!!


Safari Edit
Safari receives an update to Intelligent Tracking Prevention. This includes a feature which allows the user to disable social media "like" and "share" buttons.[31]
... may be one minor useful feature .. which people hardly realise that its there !!!!

Maps Edit
Apple Maps has been "rebuilt" by relying on first-party map data instead of using map data provided by third parties.
..... Do people even use Apple maps ?????? .. then why did they allow third party navigation in car play .... ROFL !!!! .. useless update for app that no one uses !!!!

                "I mean I can create Folders, and that's basically what a file manager is." who told you the solo purpose of file manager is to create folders?
                there are lot's of thing a file manager needs to do such as making a ftp server to share files between pc and mobile device without need of wire!
                or ability to connect to several cloud storages and ...........
                i guess you got what a proper file manager is!

                      This was the number one reason I bought an S8+ in the first place. Also go buy an expensive SD card and you will not notice any heating. Heating is caused by cheap SD cards.
                      If you don't use the SD card slot, go buy one of those cheap featureless china brands wannabes.

                        Performance optimizations were made in order to speed up common tasks across all supported iOS devices.[12] Tests done by Apple on an iPhone 6 Plus showed apps launching 40 percent faster, the system keyboard activating 50 percent faster, and the camera opening 70 percent faster.[13]

                        Screen Time
                        Screen Time is a new feature in iOS 12 that records the amount of time a user spent on the device. The feature also displays the amount of time the user used particular apps,[14] the amount of time the user used particular categories of apps (such as games),[15] and the number of notifications the user received.[16]

                        Screen Time also provides blocking features to limit usage of apps (with time limits) or set other restrictions such as on purchases or explicit content. It replaces Parental Controls in the iOS Settings app, but can also be used by adults to limit their own usage. These features can be used with or without a passcode. Without setting a passcode, the limits can easily be bypassed but may serve as a useful reminder of usage intentions.[17]

                        Shortcuts
                        A dedicated application in iOS 12 allows users to set up Shortcuts, automated actions that the user can ask Siri to perform.[15] It replaces the Workflow app[18] that Apple acquired in March 2017.[19][20]

                        ARKit 2
                        ARKit now allows users to share their view with other iOS 12-supported devices.[21] ARKit 2 additionally allows full 2D image tracking and incorporates the ability to detect 3D objects.[22]

                        CarPlay
                        CarPlay can now run third-party navigation applications.[15]

                        iPad
                        The Voice Memos and Stocks apps are now available for iPads.[23]

                        Control Center is once again separated from the app switcher on iPad.[24]

                        Keyboard Edit
                        In iOS 12, the trackpad mode (which allows the user to freely move the cursor) is enabled by long-pressing the space bar on devices without 3D Touch.[25]

                        Messages Edit
                        Messages in iOS 12 introduces a new type of customizable Animoji called "Memoji" which allows a user to create a 3D character of themselves. Apple also introduced Koala, Tiger, Ghost and T-Rex Animojis.[26]

                        FaceTime Edit
                        FaceTime gains support for Animoji and Memoji.[13]

                        iOS 12.1, released on October 30, 2018, adds the ability to include up to 32 people in a FaceTime conversation. This feature is only supported with video by devices with the Apple A8X or Apple A9 chip or later; it is only supported for audio on iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and is not available at all on iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and iPad Air.[27]

                        Measure Edit
                        Main article: Measure (Apple)
                        Measure is a new native AR application that allows the user to take measurements. It also works as a level[13], which was a feature originally in the Compass app.

                        Photos Edit
                        Photos now supports suggestions through a "For You" section and will make sharing recommendations.[13]

                        Notifications Edit
                        Notifications are now grouped and have a "manage" tab, to turn off notifications for that app or to deliver them quietly.[28]

                        Do Not Disturb Edit
                        Do Not Disturb now has a feature called "Do Not Disturb During Bedtime" to automatically send notifications to history, send calls to voicemail (can be changed to Favorites/Repeated calls) and has a darker screen to assist sleep.[28] However, if the user taps the screen (or when the user's wake time passes) notifications are shown.[15][28] When Do Not Disturb is turned on, a new notification will show saying that notifications and calls will be silenced when active.

                        Voice Memos and Stocks Edit
                        The Voice Memos and Stocks apps are now on iPads. Voice Memos and Stocks have had a design refresh, and the latter has integrated Apple News.[29]

                        Apple Books Edit
                        iBooks was renamed Apple Books, and the app was refreshed, with a Discover Tab, Book Store, and more.[30]

                        Safari Edit
                        Safari receives an update to Intelligent Tracking Prevention. This includes a feature which allows the user to disable social media "like" and "share" buttons.[31]

                        Maps Edit
                        Apple Maps has been "rebuilt" by relying on first-party map data instead of using map data provided by third parties.[32]

                        Updates
                        12.0.1 Edit
                        iOS 12.0.1 was released on October 8, 2018, as the first update to iOS 12.[10]

                        12.1 Edit
                        iOS 12.1 was released on October 30, 2018. The update included new emoji, a group FaceTime feature, updates to the Measure app, and the ability to use an eSIM on supported iPhones.[11]

                        12.1.1 Edit
                        iOS 12.1.1 was released on December 5, 2018.

                        12.1.2 Edit
                        iOS 12.1.2 was released on December 17, 2018, and is an iPhone-only update. iPads and the 6th generation iPod touch continue to use iOS 12.1.1.

                        With this release, Apple did not drop support for any iOS devices, with all devices supporting iOS 11 also able to run iOS 12.“

                        I don’t think it was just to fix bugs.

                          not sure why people are crazy about android pie .. it offers zero new useful features ... some stupid features which could as well be updated with minor monthly updates. All they added in android pie is that hideous gesture navigation copying ios .. but it is not even 0.00004% as smooth as ios gestures .... google themselves doesn't know whether slide p should bring app drawer or recent apps .. lol ... Useless updates from google !!
