[Electronics-talk] iOS 8 Problems

[Poppa Bear]

I have heard that IOS 8.1.1 that came out a few days ago addresses issues
mainly on older iphones and pods.

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.
