I was fortunate with about only 33 days left on my iPhone 5 Apple Care that my headphone jack went out on the right side of my warranty. So I got a brand new iPhone 5 today from the Apple Store. But it came with iOS 8.1.2 which I'm not sure I was quite ready for but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. this is the second new iPhone 5 I've gotten under Apple Care and both times the failure was with the headphone jack. Like many others on this list, I constantly use earphones with my iPhone and I prefer the wired earpods because I love the remote button for listening to books. Apparently, the electronics in the earphone jack that interact with the earpod controls failed because the remote and volume buttons stopped working.
I successfully restored my encrypted iTunes backup but was disappointed to learn that data such as books downloaded in BARD Mobile, voices purchased in voice Dream Reader, and other things I've no doubt yet to identify do not restore with an encrypted iTunes backup. Can someone comment on why this is? Are these apps not set up so that their data is backed up with an iTunes backup or is this some sort of Apple restriction? I know I've seen posts about notifications in iOS 8 but since I've been running iOS 7.1.2, I've not followed them. When I tap the clear notifications button on my notification screen, nothing happens. Is this still a bug? Is there a workaround for clearing notifications? I can tell a definite difference in the sound of VoiceOver in iOS 8 versus 7. It sounds more as if it's coming from a well and does not seem as sharp at least to my ears. Have others experienced this or is this due to running on an iPhone 5 with less processing power? I also noticed that the word gigabyte is pronounced yigabyte which seems odd since I would expect audio quality to improve with iOS upgrades. I'd love any help with my questions and also appreciate any comments regarding similar iOS 8 upgrade experiences. I realize I'm late to the upgrade party and please excuse my tardiness.
