The first obvious change is that it is easier and more stable to wear, and less hot.
This is interesting. For me, when I owning the iO-16 several years ago, their earpads, exactly the same size and shape like the earpads of the B&O H9 and H7, are a little small for my ears and I always needing pushing the top part of both ears inside the earpads -- I think this is the obvious reason why Dali and B&O changing their earpads shapes for the iO-12 and H95 models, for fitting more people's ears. The round earpads looking better from design perspective but aren't good for a more large proportion of people's ears. About stability, you mentioning before your more small (than average?) ears size. The iO-12's earpads, by the way, are giving me more stability than any others BT/ANC headphones, one aspect that I absolutely love about the Dalis. But, of course, this is always personal.
Is also curious that for you the iO-12 making your ears more hot. For me, like with the majority of not genuine leather earpads, the iO-6's earpads (that having artificial leather) making my ears hot very soon, and this isn't happening with the iO-12's genuine leather earpads. Of course this is only my own experience and not necessarily applicable for everybody.
