Now that Apple has rolled out iOS 12.2 for iPhone and iPad, AppleInsider breaks down over 40 features and changes that are included in the new OS update.

The lengthy beta phase of iOS 12.2 has come to an end, and Apple has finally released the feature-packed update to the masses. Within this point update is a pile of new features and changes that run from the mundane to the profound.

We've been testing and scrutinizing iOS 12.2 since it was first released to developers in February and have compiled a near-exhaustive list of every feature and change Apple baked in.

The Control Center Remote now is full screen, can support TVs and Apple TVs, and added back the forward/backward skip buttons.
