Apple faced a whirlwind of backlash earlier this year when it was revealed that the company intentionally hindered the CPU performance of older devices like the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 in a bid to improve battery performance. The debacle set-off a firestorm of lawsuits against the company, who, as a direct result, ultimately came out with new battery health and management tools as part of the recent iOS 11.3 software update.

Now, sticking true to its promises, Apple has released iOS 12 with a specific focus on performance enhancements for older devices, and new devices alike. And, unsurprisingly, some of the early speed test results are actually quite impressive, revealing considerable performance gains on older devices like iPhone 5s, and even brand-new devices like the iPhone 8.
