This story is part of WWDC 2022, CNET's complete coverage from and about Apple's annual developers conference.
At its WWDC conference on Monday, Apple took the wraps off iOS 12. If you already own an iPhone ($295 at Amazon) or iPad ($200 at Best Buy), especially an older one, you might be wondering whether the device will be able to run the new operating system.
