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... --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102134 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
