I initially heard the same thing but then started receiving more encouraging points of view so went ahead and bit the proverbial bullet. One thing that was recommended for those of us 4S owners brave or crazy enough to make the attempt is to turn on the enhanced voice for VoiceOver. That definitely seems to help, and I haven’t noticed much lag.

I just read that those of us who have an iPhone 4s should not install iOS 8 as it makes the phone sluggish and causes problems.

Hi All,

So, unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, you know that Apple released iOS 8 today. Thanks to Twitter, I’ve come across the following links which may prove helpful to you and/or your students, friends, etc. The first three are specific to blind and low vision users and the fourth is one written for the general populous. With regard to Braille: It seems that there are some significant improvements to the interactions of iDevices and refreshable Braille displays. Regrettably, these may be tempered by slower Braille input—which is indeed something we can only hope Apple will fix in a subsequent release.

Happy updating!
