Will ios 8 work with the 4s? From: Gmail Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 5:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: overview of accessibility features in iOS 8
Jonathan, that's really nice of you! I'm super excited to read your book and find out all about iOS 8! Can't wait for release day!

I'm not denying there are some real annoyances with this release, and depending on how you use your device, they'll be more of a bother to you than they will be for others. But for me, weighing up the good and bad, I'd still upgrade. There is just so much to like about iOS 8. I'm planning on releasing iOS 8 Without the Eye a few hours before the software goes live so people get a chance to read it. In the email going out containing the book, there is a summary of the major bugs, consequences, and possible work-arounds. So those getting the book can hopefully make up their minds about whether upgrading is right for them by release time.

I was so excited about iOS eight and even getting a new phone, but with what you are saying, it seems I shouldn't do either, at least for a while. Thanks so much for the heads up. At least now I won't be in such a hurry to update or get the new phone.

If so, I will hold my other phone and maybe my iPad back until I have worked with it on the new phone and I will advise a couple of people I help not to update immediately so that either things will improve or I will know how tohelp them first. But if I can use the new iOS on my new phone, then I will update my other devices even if there are some bugs. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears!

Usually I grab it he first day last year it was four days due to circumstances beyond my control but sounds like I need to upgrade my phone first and that probably won't happen for a few more weeks, I am eligible through Verizon, have been for over a month now but... Then again, who knows, I may go for it anyway but at this moment I am of the opinion that I need the newer phone first. Which one, I don't know, screen size is of no matter to me but camera stability is, since I have to use the phone to identify a lot now. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Diakogeorgiou Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2014 8:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: overview of accessibility features in iOS 8 Are you willing to comment as to whether version 8 is not very usable with these bugs or not? I'm one of these who wants to install new things asap regardless of the consequences. However, if it is so buggy that it's hard to use then I won't. The problems which people complained about last year didn't bother me to much if that says anything.

I have been running the iOS 8 Beta since June and as far as I can tell Apple has listened to hardly any of the feedback and bug reports provided by blind beta testers. There have been 5 Beta versions and now the Goldmaster and almost all of the most serious and annoying bugs are still there. I hope that they react faster once the public release happens next Wednesday and hopefully blind people start flooding Apple Accessibility with emails and phone calls about these issues. I will post a list of the 5 or so bugs which bug me the most and which I know other beta testers have reported as soon as the iOS 8 update comes out. Anybody who wants to read about them just look for a post on Wednesday, September 17 with subject "The top 5 most annoying bugs in iOS 8 with Voiceover". What bothers me is that a few of these issues are not specifically accessibility related and they don't happen if Voiceover is not running but as soon as Voiceover is on you suddenly are plagued by this and that.
