[Electronics-talk] iOS 8 Problems

Tue Nov 25 11:43:35 UTC 2014

Hi all! 
I agree with Mike since I just put the latest update on my old iPhone 4s and it's still slow. On the other hand, the button bug that I complained about is fixed. I can use BARD like I could before the whole IOS8 line ever came out. The latest update is the best of anything tech related operating system with a number 8 on it. Woo who!!!!!
