We’ve been running the iOS 8 gold master (which should be equivalent to the shipping version), and performance seems roughly equal to iOS 7, for good or ill.īattery life is the same or slightly worse, which is typical for iOS updates. Is iOS 8 faster or slower than iOS 7? Is battery life any different?

If you don’t have enough space free on the device, even iTunes will refuse to install the update, but you can always stop syncing music or movies temporarily, do the installation, and reset your media sync settings afterwards. Instead, we recommend installing major updates like this through iTunes, after thoroughly syncing and backing up your device locally first. IOS 8.0 is a 1.1 GB download, and while user reports vary, we recommend having at least 5.7 GB of storage space available if you want to install directly on the device. Plus, the upcoming Apple Pay feature is limited to the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple Watch (though the Apple Watch will be reportedly able to use Apple Pay even if it’s paired with an older iOS device - see “ Apple Pay Aims to Disrupt Payment Industry,” 9 September 2014). In particular, Continuity is restricted to the iPhone 5 or later, the fourth-generation iPad or later, and the fifth-generation iPod touch. However, not all features will work on older devices. Older iPhone and iPod touch models, and the original iPad, remain out in the cold.

iOS 8 works on anything including or later than the iPhone 4s, the fifth-generation iPod touch, and the iPad 2. If you’re using iOS 7 now, yes, with one exception - the iPhone 4, which had performance issues under iOS 7. Not only that, but developers will be able to offer custom widgets for the Today View in Notification Center and custom keyboards that Android users have enjoyed for years, like Fleksy and Swype.Ī lot of other major changes in iOS 8 are designed to bring iOS devices and Macs closer together, but those will require OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

Imagine being able to save articles to read-it-later service Pocket directly from Safari without any quirky workarounds, or being able to bring up 1Password in Safari, just like you can on a Mac.

(That may or may not be a good thing, depending on your opinion of iOS 7’s look.) But what developers can do in iOS 8 will revolutionize how you use your devices. Unlike iOS 7, iOS 8 doesn’t offer much new in the way of visual panache. If you have more, please ask them in the comments, and we’ll do our best to track down answers for you. In the meantime, though, let’s dive into the questions.

Our complete guide to iOS - Managing Editor Josh Centers’s upcoming book, “ iOS 8: A Take Control Crash Course” - is still in the works, but anyone who pre-orders it now can download a 9-page preview PDF containing two finished chapters. Before you dive into installing iOS 8, though, be sure to read our warning articles: “ iOS 8 Users: Do Not Upgrade to iCloud Drive” (16 September 2014) and “ Turn Off Automatic iOS App Updates” (16 September 2014).

IOS 8 is here, and the TidBITS staff has banded together to answer your burning questions.
