It’s rare that Apple fans cheer a lack of new features in an upcoming product, but that may be the case with the next round of iPhone updates. After a flurry of embarrassing bugs in this year’s release of iOS, Apple is reportedly scaling back its plans for iOS 12 as it shifts its focus to quality and performance. And iPhone users should applaud this decision.
Axios is reporting that VP of software engineering Craig Federighi told employees Apple will be delaying several features originally due to land in iOS 12. According to well-connected reporter Ina Fried, “a number of features” will be pushed into 2019 rather than make their appearance in the fall release of iOS 12.
