Apple iOS 12 soft update is already available today with a lot of adding new features for supported iPhone, iPad and iPod devices. Compared with former iOS versions, iOS 12 catches full attention of most iPhone users since iOS 11 actually has some problems. REWA also focuses heavily on a bunch of new features of iOS 12, like the new UI design, new features, and the operating speed on the older devices, but what we concern most like those in aftermarket industry is that whether it can compatible with our screens properly. Therefore, REWA LAB has immediately carried out a series of tests with iPhone 6s – X screens on newly launched iOS 12.
