In my case, I decided to give ios 8 a try on my ipod touch 5th generation.
I did find a couple of bugs I reported to Apple Accessibility. In one case,
they ask for more info on the problem. It seems like they are looking into
the bugs. I mainly use my first generation ipad mini and decided at this
point in time not to upgrade it to ios 8.

Ah, but if you've been reading, there are a lot of people who are saying
that they don't want to download until, and here is the key, most of the
major bugs, not all of the bugs, have been worked out. There are good
reasons why people don't want to upgrade from a stable firmware to a buggy
one, and, have you noticed just how many bugs there are for Voice-Over
users?

Thanks all. The reason I posted this is I am seeing a lot of people not
upgrading for absolutely no reason at all other than until the bugs are
fixed. This I'm afraid is not part of real life as far as software goes.
All software will have bugs no matter how good the developers are,
including those working for major companies like Apple. So waiting till
all bugs are fixed is like waiting till the world ends.

Hi Shawn,
Quite a few Voiceover users beta tested iOS 8 and it's definitely far from
as good as it could be *smile*. Unfortunately providing feedback is not a
guaranty that all bugs which are discovered during the beta cycle will be
illuminated when the public release happens.
Regards,

I agree with you Chris. This is the reason why I'm beta testing Yosemite
so when it launches October 21 it's as good as it can be.

Hi all
Here are my personal thoughts on why you should upgrade to iOS 8 despite
the bugs.
If you do upgrade and discover bugs yourself, you are actually doing
Apple a favour as you can then report your own bugs to them, including
attempting to reproduce them at their end by providing step by step
instructions on how to produce the bugs where possible. This cannot be
achieved if you yourself don't upgrade because you of course won't see
the bugs yourself. I can understand however if your device(s) are used
for purposes other than personal. In reality you will never have software
in general that is bug free as bugs are part of development. Not only
developers make mistakes; software itself can as well.
Just my £0.02 worth.
