The video goes over some of the main features that Apple already demoed, including speed improvements, all the new Apple apps, Siri’s new smarts, the extra Animoji and the Memoji experience.

But it also covers all the tine features that you’ll have to discover yourself, like support for a second face on the iPhone X and better way to close apps on iPhone X.

If all that sounds exciting, then you should also know you can install iOS 12 beta 1 right now if you’re a developer, or if you have access to a developer profile — here’s how to get your iOS 12 beta fix right now.

The first beta is surprisingly good, and it delivers a much better performance than any previous first beta release. Then again, buggy software isn’t for everyone, so, naturally, there’s always a way to move downgrade iOS 12 beta to iOS 11.4. Yes, without losing any data.
