Question: Do you want to see the status bar on iPhone 5, 5s and iTouch
5G
    
- Yes, show me the status bar! 
- No, I prefer to have the clean screen. 
- I don't care
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't have a lot of issues with iOS 8, much less than with iOS 7, for
example. It's a bit slower, I don't like the new rotation animations but
at least rotation detection seems to have improved somewhat on iPad
(it's still not completely reliable). It's a bit slower, as usual, due
to moving everything to auto layout, I suppose. That's it.
Not a lot of new stuff, too, but a tremendous amount of new API
capabilities so I'd expect to see a lot of great new Apps (or features)
that only work under iOS 8 in the future.

The iPhone 6/6 Plus IMHO is a very unusual device for Apple. It works
really great: top performance, no real glitches, brilliant display and
camera. Everything there. Antennas finally work, battery lasts so much
longer,...

But I think it actually has a bad design. I don't like the look (looks
like every second Android device to me) but that's not the biggest
issue. It's slippery as hell so I never feel comfortable holding it.
It's the first one since iPhone 4 that I want to carry with a case.
Which doesn't matter, since I don't like the design anyway (the 4 was
gorgeous)... Then the placement of the power button right at the
opposite side of the camera button makes me often accidentally turn it
off, that's just a bad placement (but probably the reason for the
improved antenna performance), granted, most Android phones do the same
thing (probably to get the Antenna right, too). And the speaker on the 6
Plus is placed in a way that I just can't seem to hold it to my ear
correctly.
So.. 10/10 for hardware and software 5/10 for the design. Very un-Apple,
as I said...
