Like I said earlier in this thread; this is similar to assuming a Windows 98 or XP era computer will run just as fast with Windows 8 as a current generation computer. It's just not gonna happen. edited for quote derp on my part. Actually, your typical new PC from 2010 would probably be somewhat faster running Win 8.1 today. Face it. Apple should have a regression path for updates, and they shouldn't advertise major updates to older platforms. A PC from 2010 isn't 5 generations old. And 4 years ago isn't long enough to obsolete a tablet. At the rate that mobile technology is advancing, I disagree. I disagree with your disagreement. Iphone 4, Galaxy S, Apple TV, third iteration of the Kindle, etc. All still very viable for use today, presuming they aren't strangled by an update. |

Sure, it'll run it, but it isn't going to be that great because of the old ass hardware people are trying to use. Yet all these retards are always claiming Apple has some "forced obsolescence" tactic going. People need to realize that the iPhone 4 that they got for fucking free two years ago is 4 generations behind and isn't going to run the latest and greatest software. The only thing Apple should do is give people the ability to downgrade the version of IOS they are using to whatever worked best before they did the recent update. Point, the first: Yes. People shouldn't suck Apple cock so hard that they knock their heads in Tim Cook's gold-plated belt buckle and say stupid shit like hardware from a mere 4 years ago is old and busted, or that an OS shouldn't be able to run equally well on hardware from 2010 or 2014. Point, the second: And not doing so is....forced obsolescence. lol So Apple can push an update that magically turns a 5 generations old piece of hardware into the new 2014 version? When the iPad 2 came out iMessage was not even around! I don't get why people think a device which is 5 generations old should be able to run a new OS, which is FAR more advanced than what came with the device at launch, just as good as the day it was new with an OS that didn't even include Messages! When the iPad 2 was launched it came with iOS 4 which is ancient and dinosaur compared to what iOS is doing today. So no, its not going to run just as good as a brand new model which is far better hardware wise.

I'd really be curious how a similarly aged Android tablet held up to several large OS updates. I have a feeling it would be in the same boat or worse as an iPad 2 running iOS8.

Ugh. Safari blows on the new iOS.
When I start typing in a text editor (e.g. ARFCom), it automatically scrolls to the top of the page and covers text with the keyboard. Web pages randomly won't load or refresh, including Google results and Craigslist. Cut and paste is broken. Want to open a page in a new tab on iPhone 5? Hold down the link for a very, very, very long time. When the option comes up to open in new tab, select it, go have a quick coffee break while it processes. On ipad, what possible reason is there to move the bookmark, share, +, and page selection to the opposite sides of the bar? Everyone with muscle memory from the previous version now gets to relearn the process. And bonus, it's no longer handy for use with one hand. I could be doing a task with one hand and quickly pull up a desired window with the other. Now, Nope. Now it's cumbersome. At least I have some of the comforting old features, like dumping all the text from my editor when swapping tabs, random force closes, and a complete inability to handle GIFs. 
FWIW, GIFs also are horrible on Photn browser. |

However, it would be naive to think that Apple doesn't say, "Hey, we'll make the software available so you can have the latest features, but it's not going to run as fast as on our newest hardware." Whether those two ideas are the same or not is probably up for debate. |

I'd really be curious how a similarly aged Android tablet held up to several large OS updates. I have a feeling it would be in the same boat or worse as an iPad 2 running iOS8. About the same. worse in some categories, better in others. For the most part, Android stops updating on devices once they get 2 years old or so. The galaxy tab 10.1 that was released months after the iPad 2 stopped receiving OS upgrades after about a year of existence, and Samsung/google won't format the upgrades for it. So this is a positive or a negative, depending on how you look at it. People that root their android devices and install current versions of android on it, will typically experiences lots of crashes and glitches as the outdated hardware can't run the new OS. The issues that one faces using a similarly aged android device will be slightly different but the end result is about the same level of experience for the end user. IOS devices tend to just get slow, and will glitch out on occasion due to memory overload. Android devices will glitch because of memory, as well as have higher incidence of hardware failure. They both have similar restrictions trying to run the newest version of an app. |

8.0.2 on both. 8.1 fixes a lot of the little bugs people were having with 8.0/8.0.2 I hope it fixes my wifi dropout issue. I never had wifi dropout at home with my iPhone 5. Still not any issues on my Macbook/iMac/iPad but it is/was happening on my new iPhone 6. Hasn't happened **yet** with 8.1. I hope it's a software thing and not hardware related. |

Yeah I never was either up until now. It's especially shitty for me since I don't have cell service at home so I just keep my phone on Airplane Mode with wifi turned on. I rely on it for imessage, facetime audio, google voice, etc. |

It fixed the wifi issue on my iPhone 6. I'd still be connected to wifi, but I'd be getting absolutely no data. The fix was to either not use wifi, or to disable and re-enable every time it dropped. This was both at home and at work. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The great thing about Apple products, they just work. I am not upgrading my ipad4. Once the initial X.0 release gets ironed out they usually do just work, and then people wait until the next fall to come around bitching about the next X.0 update.  Besides dropping out older devices sooner in the release cycle I'd rather see them untie iOS releases from hardware launches. Attaching the two at the hip doesn't give the software dev team enough time. I started using iOS 8 at beta two, and 8.1 is a lot better than all of the releases so far, but its obvious to me their software guys never have enough time before their firm launch date to be able to release a smooth GM product.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Make sure you go to the compass app and complete the calibration. Or try to recalibrate it. I did that yesterday and am not having any orientation issues anymore. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I'm still experiencing some orientation issues. Annoying, but not deal breaking. I made a point to instruct my FIL not to update his 4S (his first-ever smartphone acquired six months ago) right after iOS 8 dropped. He probably would have done so otherwise. He's somewhat tech knowledgeable, but not especially familiar with iOS. Make sure you go to the compass app and complete the calibration. Or try to recalibrate it. I did that yesterday and am not having any orientation issues anymore. Thanks. I'll give that a shot. |

Not sure I understand what's going on. Hitting the home button doesn't take you to the home screen? What is 'scrolling mode'? Are you talking about multitasking with the app switcher? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
So far I can't stand it. When I hit the home button it takes me into the scrolling mode. On the previous operating systems it was a double tap. Now I have to press it 3-4 times on occasion to get back to the main screen. Does anyone else notice this? Not sure I understand what's going on. Hitting the home button doesn't take you to the home screen? What is 'scrolling mode'? Are you talking about multitasking with the app switcher? Yes I believe it is what they call the app multitasking. When I want to instantly go back to the home screen I hit the home button once and it takes me to the scrolling multitasker. Normally I thought this was done by pressing the home button twice however I hit it once and 3 times out of 6 it will go to multitasking. It's very annoying and from my understanding can't be disabled. |

I have heard of some rare cases of home button issues after an update. Did you update OTA through the device or through iTunes? Have you tried a backup and restore?

Especially since older devices all had home buttons that experienced premature wear and would cause innacuracies with the home button in General. |

Remember when I said "I'm a glutton for punishment," when it came to updating at release? Well, yeah, I'm paying for it now http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm211/GIR101_bucket/Mobile%20Uploads/image-21.jpg I had this same issue when I first updated to 8.0.2. It got fixed when I went into settings and turned on the cookies to be accepted. |
