I will definitely update my iPhone, but not just yet. Once the voice over bugs are worked out, then I'll consider updating. A lot of the new features in IOS14 won't apply to me because I'm using the iPhone 8. I can't believe people wouldn't have already switched from windows XP. I remember when windows7 came out. I heard all kinds of messages about how difficult it was to use. When I first got this computer, it didn't take me long at all to learn how to use windows7. The most annoying thing about getting a new computer in my opinion, is putting all your old programs you had on the old machine onto the new one. I should have kept more .exe files. Have a great day all, and happy using your iPhone's.
