iOS 8 is now available

[haven]

iOS 8, Apple's update to the operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, is now available for free download.

Apple has been testing iOS 8 for months. That said, I'd suggest that you wait a couple of weeks before you upgrade your devices. At a minimum, wait for iOS 8.0.1 or 8.0.2. These maintenance releases are likely to come in the next week or two. Let someone else find the major bugs.

Rolling the dice now on my 4S...

I put my 4S with iOS 5.1.1 through the washing machine a couple of weeks ago. Dessicating it and having some pro's look at it did nuthin' -- it's bricked. Grrr. I miss Google Maps as the native app. Now I have two iPhone 5S's -- one for work and one for me. Man, I miss that earlier iOS, and I simply liked the iPhone 4S aesthetics the best.

Many years of hard lessons have taught me the message you preach, haven -- "never use software with a version number ending in 0".

It's gonna be a while before iOS8 convinces me it has anything to offer.

I still have iOS6 on my iPhone 5. Should I stick with it? Or is an upgrade the iOS7.1 a major improvement?
