so you know how even some of the nicest smartphones on the market feel
disposable in the sense that you'll inevitably end up feeling pressured by
the newer sexier version a few short months later
well strap yourselves in here guys because it
actually seems like with their newest software update apple is trying to allow
users to squeeze a little bit more life
out of yesterday's hottest devices i mean of course you'll need more recent
hardware to use all of its features but iOS 12 will support gadgets as old as
the iphone 5s from 2013 and it may even
get a little snappier apple is claiming up to 40 faster app launches as tested
on an iphone 6s but performance improvements tend to be
standard fare for mobile os upgrades so let's look at some features that are a
little more unique although the augmented reality or ar
space has been largely pretty stagnant
one cool way it's being put to better use in iOS 12 is that your device will
be able to measure the dimensions of a real world object simply by pointing the
camera at it so this is a quick way to tell if say you'll be able to avoid paying those
gouging level bag fees on your next flight and while we're talking about the
camera the photos app is a little more powerful for the shutter bugs out there
is you can now edit raw images right
from your phone though you will have to import them from
an external device the app will also introduce a facebook ask feature though
that will suggest that you share photos with the people who are in them just in
case apple didn't already have enough information about who you hang out with
then if you'd like to hand them even more info siri has a new feature called
shortcuts that can execute a number of user-defined tasks for you almost macro
style with a single voice command at this year's wwdc apple showed this off
simply by having an employee tell siri i'm heading home
which prompted her device to ping her roommate activate appropriate smart home
features and give an estimated time of arrival
but if you don't want siri or anything else on your phone chirping at you iOS
12 offers some more robust options to deal with that as well do not disturb
can now auto cancel if it detects that
you have left a certain location or if a calendar appointment has ended so you'll
actually start getting messages again once your boss finishes droning on about
social media analytics or whatever and you can change your per app settings
directly from the lock screen now too so if an app keeps bugging you with
irrelevant headlines you can tell it to stfu permanently quicker than ever
making matters even better the notifications that you do want
also got revamped and we are finally getting Android style group
notifications that will sort things according to app and thread which is
especially useful if your inbox is constantly getting slammed
of course constant notifications might be a sign that you're glued to your
phone a little too much so iOS offers activity summaries both for yourself and
any offspring that you may have produced and you can restrict usage time per app
though parents out there we would ask that you
please don't do it for youtube because tech quickies it's an educational
channel right as for memoji well you can limit those
these are similar to animoji but they allow you to look like yourself instead
of a lion or a piece of poo or whatever
though you will need the iphone x depth sensor in order to use this particular
new feature even if you are rocking older hardware though you can still enjoy the
front-facing camera a little bit more now that you can facetime with 32 people
at once whoever's talking automatically gets the bigger tile similar to skype
group calls iOS 12 is also bringing student id integration to both iphone
and apple watch to make it easier to get into your dorm or pay for overpriced
textbooks if you're a student at alabama oklahoma or duke you'll be among the
first to get this functionality in the fall but more schools will be added
later on this year finally iOS 12 is trying to secure more than just access
to the campus gym it now offers a secure password generator built-in similar to
third-party password managers like lastpass and can even autofill those
six-digit security codes that you get over sms putting us one step closer to
the iphone no longer even requiring a user to operate it at all
