Apple's WWDC conference is almost here, which means one sure thing: a preview of the next version of iOS. The last version of Apple's iPhone and iPad operating system, iOS 11, had some pretty significant updates: a new control panel, ARKit, new Siri functions, central file directories, more Pencil support on iPads, a whole new iPad multitasking system, and more system storage management control. And that doesn't even include some notable features that came in followup point releases, including a battery health beta and improved ARKit in iOS 11.3, and Apple Pay Cash in iOS 11.2.

Reports suggest that iOS 12 might be more of a "High Sierra" style update, fixing bugs and improving overall function, saving a broad overhaul with big new ideas for iOS 13 in 2019.
