In the last few months, a few apps I've tried to install tell me "hey dude, you need to upgrade to iOS 11 before you can get this app". So, it's just a matter of time before I upgrade to iOS 12. I'll probably weaken to the temptation of a great new app that I "must" have!

I used my iPad Mini 2 with iOS 12 quite a bit yesterday. Normally I don't use it much other than viewing weather and radar apps and other apps that don't tax the performance very much. I would say that it is a bit better in performance over all in iOS 12 than it was in iOS 11, but only by a little bit. I googled that and found some sites claiming the same thing--that the performance boost for the iPad Mini 2 was marginal. But at least it didn't degrade the performance like most iOS upgrades do. From what I understand, the iOS 12 performance boosting is targeted toward certain Apple apps like Maps rather than at the entire iOS system, so YMMV of course. So in this case, no bad news is good news! Everything seems to be really stable as well.
BTW, I was sitting on my front porch last night looking at the Moon and Mars in near conjunction, very peaceful and contemplative, when I remembered another reason I updated to iOS 11 from iOS 10. In iOS 11 you can add up to 15 apps to the iPad dock, way more than in previous versions. This is one of my favorite upgrades to iOS.
