As it had been warned that it would happen, last week Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), introduced us iOS 12, which came with relatively little news compared to iOS 11, but announcing in exchange that it was going to leave us a performance improvement important. Does reality conform to the promises of those on the block? We show you a video test that will allow us to get out of doubt.
Performance with iOS 12 tested against iOS 11.4
Of the first thing he did Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in the keynote of WWDC 2018 (after boasting about the adoption rates of its latest versions), it was noteworthy that with iOS 12 we were going to enjoy an important performance improvement and a lot more fluency in our experience of use: the speed would increase by 40% to open apps, by 70% to open the camera, by 50% to remove the keyboard ... And it also promised us that older devices would benefit just as much from it.
Well, with the first beta for developers already in circulation, the time has come when we can finally leave you a test of iOS 12 vs. iOS 11.4 that allows us to check whether or not everything that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he announced to us in his conference for developers, including the part referring to the oldest models of his devices, because the iPad mini 2, the oldest tablet to receive the update, and an iPhone 6.
The video is quite short, but comprehensive enough so that we can check results in benchmarks y load times with many applications. As you can see, it is true that there is some improvement and in practically all cases iOS 12 finish first in the race, although in few cases we find differences of 40% in the time it takes with each of the two versions to open an app.
Waiting to see what happens with the final version of iOS 12
When evaluating the results of this test, in any case, we must be aware that the competition is not entirely fair, since on behalf of iOS 12We are looking at a first beta for developers after all, not a final version, polished for months with various updates, as with iOS 11.4. The logical thing, therefore, is that its results end up being better than what we see now.
We will have to have a little patience until the tests that definitely let us judge whether iOS 12 lives up to the promises made by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, because the normal thing would be that we still have about three months of waiting ahead, counting on the fact that, as has been tradition, the new version will be officially launched together with the new iPhone (and probably in conjunction with the iPad Pro 2018) In September.
We will have many occasions until then to continue to know better iOS 12, starting because throughout the summer we are sure that we will get a few more betas for developers. It is also possible that some of them not only continue to improve their stability and performance, but also introduce some other interesting function or novelty. We'll be alert.
