[Electronics-talk] iOS 8 Problems

[James Aldrich]

Hi Kendra and all, 

Be sure to get the 8.1.1 update.  This fixes many of the problems with IOS8.  I understand this works better with the older phones as the 4S.  Siri even works much better, it doesn't cut off as much if at all!  Thus far, Siri seems to work much better with my IPhone 6.  I believe the Bard app works better as well.

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.
