I haven’t upgraded on my Ipad. When I upgraded to 7 it ate up another gig of my limited storage space and I’m not giving it any more.

I wish I had not upgraded. IOS 8 is pretty buggy it seems.

I have yet to update my ipad. Still on v.5.1.1 that was installed in it when I purchased it. Way too many update bugs to contend with and it works just fine the way it is.

I got a deal on an Iphone 5s and the update to IOS 8 was painless and I’ve noticed no issues.
I never really used all the features of my Iphone 3s but the deal was good and the phone is better.
The fingerprint reader on the button is very clever.

It also seems to load books better and they are easier to use or maybe I jus gave up when I got my first one in 2011 and the quality of the books is better in 2014.

They fixed it and I upgraded. Works like a champ on phones and iPads.

“stopped users of the new iPhone from making calls”

Apparently, that’s a bad thing for a telephone, right?

My daughter downloaded the virus last week. iOS8 has rendered her iPhone into the most expensive MP3 player in the history of mankind.

Go Tim Go!!

This is major news?

Please the latest version of Android is still less than 25% of the android installed user base and it was released over a year ago. (http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html)

Apple will get the issues resolved and will have 80-90% of the installed base upgraded to iOS8 inside of a few months, because unlike android, not every manufacturer puts their own hacks in it, that they have no intention of rewriting to upgrade or takes them forever to do it.

Even if IOS8 would remain at 1% gain in installed base every few weeks, it will reach over 75% adoption in less than 6 months. Reality is, it will be over than in about 3 months from now in a worst case scenario.

The word spread pretty quick on this one. IIRC 7 was a had issues too.

8.? will come loaded on our new 6s so my family will end up using it one way or the other.

So I guess no pie charts bragging about iOS8 adoption compared to Android at the next press event?

Tried to update my Iphone and it would have required me to delete apps, photos, etc. to make enough room for the bloatware update. Forget about it...

I still have a 3GS that’s in great condition and run iOS 5.1.1 - mainly because I like the old Maps app that uses Google maps and the old 3-d look.

I’ve been trying to download iOS 8.0.2 for over a week. I get as far as the terms and conditions page. I hit agree and nothing happens.

I updated. My wife didn’t, nor did we update the older (eligible) phones we use as hand-me-down iPod Touch-like devices for the kids. Honestly, unless there’s a specific feature in iOS8 you want or need, it’s not worth the hassle.

Yet.

All that changes in about 2-3 weeks when OS X Yosemite comes out. Because that’s when the Continuity and Handoff features really start coming into play, and that will give many of the “hold outs” a reason to finally upgrade.
