Subject: RE: is the new iOS for iPhones a bit more usable?
Hi Devin,
A number of bugs have been fixed, but there also still are some annoying
ones which have been present ever since the first iOS 8 beta release which
means they have been reported to Apple now for 9 months and still are not
fixed. One of these is the fact that you can't move most apps in the bottom
row of the home screen (the one above the dock). I believe there are alsos
till issues with Safari and the back button on web pages and a number of
issues for braille users.
Apple has so far released 5 beta versions of iOS 8.2 and even though 8.2 is
not even out yet to the public, iOS 8.3 Beta 1 has been released and 8.3
Beta 2 is expected next week. 8.3 Beta 1 seems to have fixed a few things,
but other problems have been introduced so let's ope they get fixed soon.
Jonathan has written an excellent article about the just announced iOS
public beta program which 9to5Mac has written about and which is expected to
start on March 11 with a public beta of iOS 8.3. This means I would expect
that iOS 8.2 will be released publically before then, but who knows, maybe
iOS 8.2 will never become a public release and Apple will stick with 8.1.3
until the publick release of 8.3. They are definitely doing things
differently and in any case, the majority of the new features in the 8.2
beta are about the upcoming Apple Watch. Once again Jonathan has blogged
about an article which states that while iOS 9 which will be announced in a
little over 3 months during Apple's world wide developer conference will of
course have some new features, but focus will be heavily about squashing
bugs and on getting iOS to be what it used to be, a platform which is rock
solid, secure and which works well without a lot of bugs. I think we do have
good things to look forward to this year and quite a few Voiceover users
will most likely manage to be part of that group of 100,000 people who will
get access to the iOS 8.3 and later iOS 9 public beta. Yes, I know people
have already asked how they can register for that, but I think we just have
to wait until Apple announces this officially and those who do want to
participate better be on the ball since I doubt that once Apple does take
registrations it will take long for the 100,000 spots to be filled. It would
actually be nice if Apple set aside 1% or so of these spots specifically for
Voiceover users maybe by registration via Apple Accessibility, but I doubt
that will happen and we will just have to compete with everybody else..
Regards,
Sieghard

I think most of the bugs have been exterminated. Besides that, I think Alex
alone is worth upgrading for.

I am still currently on 7.1.12. I didn't upgrade because of a couple of
major bugs in iOS 8 involving voiceover and some of the apps.

upgrade then to the last version.

hello group,
I have been reading around and it appears that there is a security flaw
in previous versions of iOS (7 and 8 - versions up to 8.1.12). So, my
question is this, should I finally upgrade my iPhone 5 to the new iOS?
How many of the voiceover issues have been resolved?
any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.
