Extensions are the biggest part of iOS 8, can't wait for 1Password integration

It is?
It's a similar format to what we used for the iOS7 thread. The key features in the release.
Thanks for quoting it and spreading my propaganda then.
Pretty sure
I'm hearing SwiftKey will launch their keyboard on launch day.
Which is pretty exciting.
I'm currently on the GM release, and the upgrades have been nice. Quick reply is awesome, and I'm hoping WhatsApp and other messaging services follow suit with adding that in.
The new QuickType keyboard feature is fine for the most part. One thing it needs is the ability to reject its autocorrect suggestions (tapping x on the bubble that pops up with the correctly spelled word) when QuickType is enabled. Closing it (swiping down on the suggested words box) brings back the original autocorrect word bubbles, though.

Thanks for quoting the entire image for no reason.
I assume apps like Withings and more will update in the next couple weeks and feed data into Health so you can still use the app on iphone 5.
------
biggest thing about the update is the extensions API and the iCloud Drive folders. for the last 3 or 4 years now, a lot of us have been hoping for more ways for apps to work with each other and share data, and now it seems this is happening.
Itll take a few weeks or months after release before we see a good range of apps showing what can be done. At launch, a lot of people will be saying that iOS 8 is a small update to iOS 7. and, on the surface, it kind of is.

Pics aren't working for me in OP. Says file does not exist and then just says Minus.
The M7/M8 collects and stores some fitness data, but it's not required for HealthKit. There are apps today that calculate calories burned, miles ran, the amount of sugar consumed, and other metrics that don't require any specialized hardware.
It's there because third-party apps and devices may want to plug into it but yeah, it's mostly useless for those of us with older devices.
Oh, sorry. What do I do now, switch to Imgur? Photobucket is not allowed I think.

Works now for some reason. Not sure what's going on.
Works fine for me.

Cool OP. Got it on my phone and ipad. The new features in iMessage are cool
Don't you need a developer account? I'd guess most people can't be arsed with that and will just wait for next week

Running it on a 5 and a Retina mini, no issues so far.
Things i use the most are the expanded lock screen gestures for email, messages etc. Quick photo in messages is nice too.
I've found Quick Type to be pretty useless. I've only used it to type nonsensically random phrases to people in messages.
Looking forward to Yosemite to get my continuity on.

Guys you just have to find a download of the GM and do the "restore" install method.

The only thing that looks good to me, is the fact that I do not have to open my phone to text someone, otherwise it's very meh, at least to me.

Been running this for a while now, and I honestly don't think most people will see much difference at first. The extensions are going to be the real star of this update. iCloud Photo Library is really cool, but now my iCloud storage allowance is shrinking fast because all the photos and videos that were on my phone are now stored there. Continuity and handoff work well too - but it's a little disconcerting at first when 3 or 4 devices around the house start ringing at once (including the laptop) when I get a call.

Anyone know if the new sdk changes would let F.lux come over to the non jailbroken side?

I was just about to edit my post. I've tried them on and off for years, and I really don't get the love for swype-style keyboards. I am also a big proponent for one-handed access.
Like, with a swype-style keyboard, when do you know when it is optimal to swipe, and when it is optimal to type? There is too much thinking involved, and if you don't play your cards right, choosing one or the other incorrectly, you end up wasting time. At least, that is what I found out from my use and timing.

i feel like i made a lot fewer typos on iOS 6's keyboard
You can reject the autocorrect by selecting the suggested word on the left - it will be in quotes and it will be the word that you typed as is.
