iOS 12 Release Date: 6 Things to Expect & 5 Not To

Expect Early Download Issues

You can expect an assortment of bugs and performance problems and you can also expect early download issues to plague the iOS 12 release date on Monday.

Apple's improved its iOS launches over the years, but we still see issues popup in and around a major iOS update's release time as people slam its servers with requests. 

If you're planning to download and install iOS 12 right when it's released, there's a good chance you'll see prolonged download times. They'll mellow out over the course of the day, but the update could take 30 minutes (or longer) to download from Apple. 

There's also a chance you'll run into errors in iTunes if you prefer to install your iOS software that way. We almost always see iTunes spit out error codes soon after a major iOS upgrade is released. 

If you want to avoid these issues you'll want to sit back, relax, and download iOS 12 later in the day once the initial rush has died down.
