iOS 8 released

Anyone give up your jailbreak to upgrade to iOS8? I'm considering it due to some stability issues with my jailbroken 5s. I'm kinda tired of keeping up with all the jailbreak tweaking, anyway.

I did and, for the most part, no regrets (iPhone 5)


I do wish I still had a torrent client, and iFile, but it's not a deal breaker by any means.
 
So handoff is working between iOS devices, but none of the iOS -> OS X features seem to be working.
 
Make sure you are signed in under the same apple id on both devices. SMS relay doesn't work currently (disabled).

Yep, yep, and yep, still nothing works - I mean, the setting is not even there. Well it's still in beta I guess, still a month to go!
 
Then it could be disabled on your hardware for beta reasons, or something else entirely. Maybe you have a specific revision that isn't supported (yet) for some reason. Hard to say.
 
Updated iOS 8 onto my 4S when the GM was leaked. So far I'm very happy with it. Haven't found a single issue. Safari seems to run quite a bit better (doesn't lag while scrolling anymore).
 
I literally haven't read shit on what's new in iOS (and I basically forgot what the heck was talked about in the keynote), what are the top bullet points on what the big draw is? I installed 8 on my gf's 5s yesterday and installed swiftkey, she seemed content, but was curious what else was new. She's one of those people that constantly says she doesn't need the latest and greatest, and once she saw/used swiftkey she was hungry for more, hah.

Ability for applications to communicate with one another
Widgets in notification center
Bunch of Siri improvements
Custom Keyboards
Favorite and recent contacts now in the app switcher
Time Lapse camera mode and exposure adjustment
Detailed battery usage summary
Persistent VPN

Edit:
Handoff which is pretty cool (iOS devices work seamlessly with a Yosemite... hope they release something for windows)
Numerous iMessage improvements

Those are the big ones that I can think of off the top of my head. There are other improvements as well

Awesome, thanks for that. Now about those widgets...what can she do with the customization there? I also saw only 2 keyboards in swiftkey, dark and white. Can she purchase more colors somewhere, didn't see a buy button (but was only in there for a few seconds).

About the widgets, I think it depends on the developer, honestly.
For example, the Yahoo weather app works as it always did, but now if you go into notification center and tap on edit, it will give you the option to add the associated widget.

Not too sure about the keyboards, I think swype has multiple themes that you can purchase. For the time being, I'm just using the stock keyboard. Last I checked, there were around half a dozen keyboards on the appstore... some of which had lots of skins available and/or gave the ability to change it to whatever color you wanted.

my 4s is running it fine and my battery seems to be back to how it was. The first couple of days it was draining stupid fast, even just sitting idle. Now though it seems golden.

Gimme a Back button so I can just return to an e-mail/text after clicking a link instead of exiting the browser, relaunching e-mail/text, and searching for the original message.

2x click home button, click on email app, and you're back.

I call BS.
EVERY review I've read on the internet has said that iOS8 on the 4s is a dog.
 
I wonder if I can answer my phone on my ipad, I noticed the ipad ringing earlier when my phone was ringing.

You don't have to search for the original message. Mail remembers your previous position. That's the entire point of background suspend.

I don't know what to tell you. Maybe I have lower expectations, but it doesn't seem to be significantly slower than it was before, and what was slower wasn't so slow that I haven't adjusted to it so that it isn't annoying. Every once in a while it'll hiccup and be slow, but over all I think my user experience is just as good as it was before.
 
My iPad 2 has been downloading the update the last 3 hours and says it won't be done for another 21 hours. But I've been this before. The download has failed 9 times already.

If you use USB and connect to your PC to update, then it is probably an issue with the USB connection. I had horribly slow backup and update times a couple of years ago and it turned out that a PC refresh (new mobo/CPU) fixed the problem. There was some issue with the way my old mobo handled USB. Since my refresh, the average backup for my ipad or iphone, both 64GB, is around 7 minutes, an incremental update is around 10 minutes and a full upgrade is closer to 20 minutes.

The one key to fast updates/backups for me has been to make sure I open itunes prior to connecting the phone/tablet and letting it update all of my apps. If I don't do this, then the backup and update can take quite a while as it downloads the updated version of the app from the device.

Update: Apparently I don't use Siri that often, but I just tried and it was laggy and took for-fucking-ever to load.

I still stand by everything else I said, everything seems just as snappy as it was, but Siri is annoying slow and jumpy.
 
Working fine on iPhone 6 here. I think I put it on my mom's 5S as well.

Random, how long do you guys think it will take Facebook/Youtube to update their app so it doesn't look like garbage on the iPhone 6?
