Hi all,
Today the next release of iOS 12.x GA’ed. It is a small release on the road to 13. Bu the release notes are below.
As always, I used iTunes to do the upgrade rather than over the air so that I get an encrypted backup with ALL of the data on my iPhone rather than a subset (which is what happens over the air).
I did an update of an iPhone 8, and a iPad Pro 10.5. I had no issues with either.

Update - 7/23/19 - I learned there is a bunch of important security updates in this release so move quicker to it than you might otherwise. More info can be found in this article.
