Everything new in iOS 12 beta 6
Earlier on Monday, Apple released the sixth beta of iOS 12 to developers. We've had our heads down rooting through this latest update to see what has changed in this update.
We are getting closer and closer to release, so the changes are getting more difficult to find, but there are still notable changes to talk about.
In this beta, we saw new splash screens added to the Stocks app. Apple often adds these splash screens with major new updates to indoctrinate new users to the changes that were made in that particular app. They've been added in waves throughout the betas, but as we get closer to the actual release, more have been added.

Other changes include new wallpapers in the Home app and a new AirPlay icon on the lock screen during playback to wireless headphones or speakers.
Check out what changed last time around in beta 5.

I suspect the biggest differences will be “under the hood” with better security, stability, and performance.
The lack of WOW doesn’t bother me... flashy is overrated. I look forward ios12’s official release.
The only reason I bring this up is that the sudden appearance of true splash screens across several applications would be a cause for concern, i.e., a sign that Apple is compensating for excessive app load times. The "first time use" screen are intended to bring functional changes to the user's attention or used as a subtle form of user training.
I guess if Apple would have done this kind of cleanup releases earlier, I would still be on iPhone 5 :-)
