I'm an iPhone 5 user. I use Siri and Voice Over for most of what I do with
a phone--send text messages, make calls. I upgraded to 8 because of an
article much like the one in this message which I have just read most if not
all of. I'm now using 8.0.2. I have had enough problems with VO and Siri
that I re-installed 8.0.2. Some slight improvement after that but not much.
The problem I have in particular is the inability to place a call or send a
text message reliably. To me, that, and not the bells and whistles, is why
I got the phone. Whether my experience is typical I cannot say. Nor can I
say whether it's because of my 16-G iPhone 5. But, unless you really need
the bells and whistles, I'd be somewhat cautious about the upgrade. Hype is
nice, but I've already seen the Jetsons world and I can't use a device
because of hype.
