Apple delays major iOS changes to focus on glitches

That Apple's software is not going through its best moment is something evident after the news that occurred at the end of last year, which still continues to have an echo at the beginning of 2018. Security flaws, performance issues, and controversial decisions that have placed Apple at the center of the hurricane of users who remember over and over the famous company slogan, "It just works."

It seems that in the upper echelons of Cupertino they have realized that the time has come to do something and they would have decided delay some of the major changes Apple was planning to implement in iOS 12, delaying them until next year, 2019. It would affect both iOS and macOS, and that will not mean that there will be no news, only that they will be less than expected. We give you the details below.

The story is revealed to us by Bloomberg who, according to what he claims, has received the information from within the company. Apple had planned to launch with iOS 12 a big change in the interface of the operating system, abandoning once and for all that grid of icons and offering a home screen that would offer us more information, especially the huge screen of the iPad. I also wanted to add a multiplayer mode for Augmented Reality games, and start the process of unifying the applications for iOS and macOS, something that has been discussed for some time. A new Photos application with better algorithms to classify them, improvements in FaceTime and new options for parental control that allow parents to know how much time their children spend in certain applications are also on the list that Apple had planned for iOS 12.

Of all those improvements, it seems that Apple will leave for later the change in the home screen, as well as the multiplayer mode for Augmented Reality or the new Photos application. The rest of the news seems that at the moment it continues with the planned calendar and would arrive for the debut of iOS 12 without problems. Something similar will happen with macOS, although to a lesser degree, and according to these same sources neither tvOS nor watchOS will be delayed on schedule. Apple wants the devices to cause problems for its users because of the software, and if that means putting the brakes on some new features, it seems willing to do so.
