I’m an old IT guy.  It’s always been common practice in the computer industry that you don’t upgrade computer software on the first release of a major update.  The common practice was to wait for a fix release before you do that update.

I’m waiting for the next fix release before I update.  As I monitor what the marketplace is saying via social media about IOS 12, I see a few small bugs and some concerns about battery life and more.  Although not major flaws, these concerns are just enough for me to say, “Remind me later.”

This is in reference to the option that you are presented when asked if you wish to upgrade.  When you see this screen with the passcode, it is important that you do NOT enter your passcode but tap on Remind me Later on the bottom.  If you enter your passcode, you are giving permission to update tonight. (I did this once by mistake and woke up the next day with an unintended update!)

I’m certain that I won’t be waiting long.  Maybe a couple of weeks.  We can be patient.
