iOS 12 offers new features and performance improvements for iPhone and iPad, so this operating system will be available for older computers.
The devices that can benefit from this update are the iPhones 5S, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3 and 6th generation iPod Touch.
Interestingly, although the latter seems the most obsolete since most users already listen to music from their mobile, it turns out to be the most recent (it was launched in 2015). Almost all the models mentioned above are from 2013 or 2014, with which they already have between 6 and 7 years of life. More than optimal durability for today’s electronic devices.
Among the updates that iOS 12.5.4 has are new functions in photos that help you to rediscover and share photos from your library; Memojis – which are new and more customizable Animojis – make messages more fun and expressive.
The “Screen Time” feature helps users understand and make the most of the time they spend on their devices; Siri shortcuts offer a quick way to perform actions with the ability to use Siri with any app; Augmented reality becomes even more extraordinary, allowing developers to create shared AR experiences; and new privacy features protect you from websites that want to track you.
In order to download this new iOS 12.5.4 update, simply go to the ‘Settings’ section, enter ‘General’ and then press the ‘Software update’ option.
Although Apple is not obliged to provide updates to devices that were sold more than five years ago, this strategy is encouraged so that the devices have security patches.
