reviews iPhone 5s – IOS 12 Operating system officially glides. The operating system brings a number of new features and promises faster performance than the previous iOS.
iOS 12 is also claimed to be able to make older Iphones like the iPhone 5s faster and lighter than ever. The enhancements that iOS 12 brings are also claimed to be quite significant and can be felt when opening the keyboard, shooting photos, or other work.
However, users of old Apple gadgets still often feel worried about upgrading iOS even if their device is supported. The reason is, of course, the performance will decline in line with new abilities.
But it looks like it doesn’t happen to iOS 12. This latest operating system is actually making old gadgets like iPhone 5s so it feels more speeding than when using iOS 11.
This is what is seen from the test results conducted by GSM Arena. They did the trial by installing iOS 12 on the iPhone 5s which was over 4 years old.
As a result, phone performance does feel better than when using iOS 11. Animations run when you open the menu so it’s faster and less lag.
But keep in mind, animations that run smoothly do not mean better performance.
Quoted from the GSM Arena, the Meki has been updated to iOS 12, there are some problems that occur due to the limited amount of RAM.
As we know, the iPhone 5s did only have 1GB of RAM and it was minimal to run the application in 2018 this year that was very greedy of RAM.
When tested, the phone still feels smooth if the user opens only 3 to 4 apps simultaneously. More than that the phone starts to get stuck and the app will be shut down forcefully and it takes time to reopen the app.
From other test results, iOS 12 is still quite comfortable when running Twitter and Instagram apps. Users can still rewind to the bottom with smooth and minimal lag.
But the phone will start to get stuck if the user opens old videos on Instagram. This is because the iPhone 5s GPU cannot fully offset the demands of recent applications. The GPU performance will be slightly interrupted and make the FPS number go down.
Nevertheless, iOS 12 does make the iPhone 5s feel faster than iOS 11. iOS 12 makes the iPhone 5s can at least still live in some time ahead. This is because the animations run without lag and there are some other enhancements.
iOS 12 is recommended for iPhone 5s users who still want to use their device in the future.
Furthermore, iOS 12 is highly recommended for older devices that still use iOS 11 to make your device run more smooth and lightweight.
Previously, the iApple Bytes YouTube Channel also did a similar experiment. They use two iPhone 5S units in the 2013 output year to compare. One device has been upgraded to iOS 12 and the other is still using iOS 11.
As a result, the difference is obvious from the beginning. The iPhone 5S boot time with iOS 12 Beta 8 is almost 20 percent faster than the iPhone 5S with iOS 11.4.1.
Likewise, when doing other activities, from scrolling message to open an iOS 12 Beta 8 photo album is always more agile, even when opening the built-in iPhone keyboard on-screen also faster.
So for you iPhone 5s users, it doesn’t hurt to try iOS 12 installed on your device.
