iOS 12: New Apple iPhone software to make devices faster, rather than bring new features

Apple's new iPhone software will speed up its handsets – even when they are old. The company has been repeatedly criticised for the fact that new operating systems often bring new features but slow down the phones that use it. Now its new software will vastly upgrade performance, it has said. The company said that the development of iOS 12 will see it "double down on performance" to make the phones "faster and more responsive". That will apply even to older phones, it said.
