Swype seems pretty good and it doesn't seem to need any internet connection.
Oh, they'll fix it. By releasing the iPad Air 2.

It's a bit funny seeing people so excited to finally be able to switch to a different keyboard. I mean, I'm happy for you guys. It's about time Apple started letting go of some of their "we know what's best for you" mentality. They still have a ways to go in that regard, but yeah. Baby steps.

Fuck it, I'm downloading iOS8 for my iPad 3. Planned obsolescence be damned.

just be glad the app actually asks for permissions. because outside the Apple ecosystem, it doesn't ask, it just attaches itself.

the headline should be, if you have an iPhone 4S. you might want to upgrade because damn it, thats old.

Yup. That's why I already uninstalled. It's creepy.
They don't work in password fields so you have some semblance of safety.
Plus I doubt they would get much useful info. Anything you type into Google is already tracked so I wouldn't worry too much.

so the functionality in the end is the same accross all platforms. I don't get whats creepy about it
Sincerely i would stay on 7, it feels more sluggish and the coolest feature (continuity/handsoff) isn't available for us 4Sers. If i could i would revert to 7...
Upgrade only if you need extensions and widgets.

I find it adorable that people are scared to try a third party keyboard.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Looks like a lot of planned obsolescence up in here. I have a 5, but I want to wait for a jailbreak anyway so maybe it'll all be ironed out by then.

Exactly.
I think it's ironic that the NSA has a backdoor into Apple yet users are calling a keyboard creepy because it learns their typing style.
I installed iOS 8 on my iPad 4.
So far, it's only okay. Can't see too many earth shattering changes. But I tell you what I DON'T like:
- Don't like the disappearance of the Camera Roll. Now to look back through older pics I took with the iPad camera I have to look in Collections. Which has every photo in the Photos app in it.
- Don't like Safari showing you Recently Visited sites when you press the bookmarks button
- Don't like how easy it is to delete emails by swiping on the mail
- Don't like the behaviour of the tabs as you scroll through pages in Safari (iPad).

Nope! It's the Newsstand 2.0.

I don't understand this. You're installing a predictive keyboard, and you're creeped out because it needs to actually know what you're typing to work? Eh, ok.
"Outside the Apple ecosystem", as in... what? Android? Android apps most certainly do ask for permissions that you have to accept before installing them. Nothing just "attaches itself". Or maybe that's not what you're talking about.

As the warning says when you turn that on you're allowing the developer to transmit anything you type including passwords, credit card info, etc. I'm pretty sure nothing will happen but it's still kind creepy.

Okay thanks.
Reading that 9to5 article, I'll just hold off and wait for my shiny 6 to arrive in a few weeks.
Og iPad Mini is an A5 right? if so nay.

Well, yeah, they could theoretically do that, I suppose. As I said, a keyboard app naturally needs to know what you're typing to work. Otherwise it would just be a dumb bunch of letter keys. It's about trusting the dev, like with so many other apps you probably use on a daily basis.

So I have a question. I've seen people mentioning 1password app in this thread. Can someone educate me on why that's better than iCloud key chain?
I downloaded the app. But from what I can tell you need to use the browser within the app take advantage of the auto filling function.
I use safari and chrome too much to start using a new one.
