[Electronics-talk] iOS 8 Problems

[Kendra Schafer]

Hi all! 
It was IOS8 that caused me to get an iPhone 5 for my main duties. I still have my old iPhone 4s for smaller tasks while I'm on the phone or for when I want to watch a sports game out loud but don't want to use my main phone. IOS8 works better on my iPhone 5 much better than it does on my old iPhone 4s. I have noticed one very impossible bug to get around without a bug fix. The PPP up buttons and the buttons that you use to flick down or up as in one that allows for you to enter a year while filling out an online applacation or a letter while searching for a book author on BARD are no longer accessable to us Voice Over users. I also wish that I waited!!! I have not at all been impressed with IOS8!!! I still miss old IOS7 which I loved.
