iOS 8?

BruinsBabe33 · September 2014

Has anyone upgraded? How do you like it?

I haven't yet, but I'm overdue for a phone upgrade. I think I'll go with the iPhone 6 in a month or so, let all the bugs work out. I'll be watching this thread closely!

I upgraded to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 and iPad even though I was getting the iPhone 6 two days later (I just had to try it out). So far so good. There are a couple features I was really excited about...removing myself from group messages (yay!!) and family sharing. Some other new fun stuff that I already love, they opened up the notification center to developers so now there will be 3rd party widgets available, battery usage (showing you which apps used how much battery), and Siri/Shazam integration.

I read somewhere that it isn't great on the iPhone 4, which I still have, so I haven't downloaded. I'm going to get on the iPhone 6 plus waiting list today though.

You can't install it on the 4 but you can on the 4s. I wouldn't recommend it though.

I've deleted a bunch of pictures and apps and am still getting an error that I don't have enough storage space to install the upgrade. I'm annoyed.

Ordered our 6's today. Have to wait until October 19th to get them, but excited for the upgrade!

I have the 5 and did the upgrade a few days ago. I had some issues with messaging--they all deleted themselves...then they all showed back up...sometimes parts of messages are missing. It's a little irritating, but it's fairly minor. There are a lot of really cool features on the update, though!

I like it! My 5 and my work 5s and iPad are all updated I haven't used it on my iPad yet... We'll see! The auto correct is awesome and a lot better!

@simsk3887 If you hook it up to your computer and download it through iTunes, you don't need as much space.

I have yet to download it, because our internet is so slow that it will take 5 hours to download. H did it the other night, and I keep playing around with his. I'm just excited for Swype (previous android user here).

I haven't tried it yet but I've read poor reviews about the Apple version of the app. I've read its a good start but not up to par with the Android version.

It really isn't. It lags quite a bit and doesn't have anywhere near the recognition the Android does. Hopefully they will work out the kinks soon though.

If you download it on your computer, it should be able to do it without removing anything.
