Yes, it has some bugfixes. No reason not to.

Am I the only one with this issue? How can i fix it? I tried restarting the phone and it did nothing.

anybody seen the issue where you can't accept the terms and conditions when going 8.0.2 OTA? you can press agree and disagree but they don't do anything.

I'm using an iPhone 4S and I can't update from 8.0.0 to 8.0.2. When I agree to the terms and conditions on my phone, nothing happens. I tried doing it again by using iTunes on my computer to update it, but it soon says that the download timed out. I'm kinda stuck here.

I'm just annoyed that more apps aren't updated for the 6+ resolution.

There are third party live wallpaper apps that do that on android, yes.
What are the reasons for the memory restrictions on third party keyboards?
Would everyone recommend my wife update her 5 from 7 to 8.0.2, or is it not worth it?
My wifi finally kind of stabilized - after upgrading to iOS8 on an iPhone 5s and Mini Retina I saw wifi slowdown and pausing.
All it took was a DFU backup and restore on both devices, and roll back my router's firmware (RT-N66U) to a previous version - latest one seems kind of bad for wifi.
I'm still seeing keyboard related glitches though, sometimes the keyboard would not pop up in Safari until I trigger it in a different app.

Ok, I'm not the only one getting this....

Count me in as someone who likes having the keyboard clicks sometimes. I don't require them, but sometimes I like the feedback.
Also, I tried swipe typing. I didn't care as much for it as I would have thought. I went right back to peck typing as you call it and am so much faster. It didn't help that the keyboard kept resetting itself and defaulting back to the normal one anyway.
I'll just get a 6 or 6+ and use the portrait keyboard happily. (I already find myself not even wanting to bother putting my 5C in landscape and end up typing in portrait all the time anyway.)

Is anyone else getting itunes crashes since they've upgraded to iOS8? Unfortunately MediaMonkey hasn't been updated to work with iOS8 so I'm stuck with iTunes to put my music on my phone, but iTunes crashes without fail each time it detects my iPhone or I plug it in.

Not me. But ever since iOS 8 and the latest iTunes beta, I can't sync over WiFi anymore and I don't know which one to blame. Before it would be flakey and work most of the time. Now it just does not show my device in iTunes anymore. At all.

iOS 8.1 beta is out.

I wonder if Apple Pay is in this.
8.1 release notes includes iCloud Photo Library among a few other things Apple has mentioned are due in October so I guess that's the timeline.
Didn't see any mention of ApplePay yet though.

My download's almost done so I'll let you know if it shows up.

Which iOS release will allow for standard texts to be pushed to the Mac and iPad? The way I can answer calls when using my iPad and my phone is elsewhere in the home is really great.

Likely whatever is released in October, which may be 8.1.
Isn't it possible do iPhone to iPad with continuity? We're all waiting on Yosemite to enable this feature on the desktop. Tecnically you can answer calls on your iPad already if you have Skype and Textplus. <--- That's my knowledge dart for the day.
Is there any chance that moves gets updated for iOS 8 with health kit integration? What about fitbit receiving an update that enables Healthkit integration?

Phone calls already work with Yosemite but we'll have to wait for another iOS update to do text messaging.

So far I can't see any upgrades with 8.1 but I guess I should be happy it didn't blow up my phone given the way recent updates have gone.
You are missing it. Pull down on the message notification when it pops up.
Oh, nice. Just tried it, thanks haha.

Yeah, I thought it was just me; what is going on?
DDos? I don't know. I was worried that it was just me. Got logged out of iCloud on all my devices a bit ago and I can't log back in either...

Vast majority of the most popular ones haven't updated yet which is surprising
Instagram and facebook haven't updated by now even, they've had the resolution for the 6 plus for WEEKS

Facebook Messenger and Hyperlapse have been updated for the new resolutions so I imagine that Instagram and Facebook will see updates soon as well.

first 7.1 beta was in Nov 2013, and was released in March this year.
There was a story today mentioning current internal testing of 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3.
I would guess that each major new feature gets a 8.x release, so Apple Pay with 8.1, apple watch integration with 8.2 etc.
Apple seem to have changed their Dev cycle for iOS 8. 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 are in testing already (8.1 even before 8.0 was out) which is drastically faster than before.
Which may indicate we'll get more point releases in total before 9.0 or 9.0 won't necessarily be tied to the next hardware release or none of the above.
One thing is for sure though they're changing things.

iCloud.com working for me

Looks like Launcher was pulled by Apple:

For those of you who care, Camera Roll is back in iOS 8.1 although for some reason it's not showing up for me.

So Facebook app just updated and it's the same res showing one story at a time on a 5.5" screen
Yes, and it's driving me fucking crazy. Trying to outline an essay I'm gonna have to write for a midterm on Wednesday and the fucking icloud sign in window is popping up every few seconds.

What about FaceBook Messenger? Their notes specifically specify "updated for iPhone 6".

There is speculation that iOS will be at 8 from now on similar to 10 with OS X. But that doesn't make much sense and would just confuse the consumer.

I think the fact that they're going to iOS 8.1 so quickly kind of kills this rumor.

I think it's just that there's a lot of additional services launching in the next year

I agree. It probably would have been 8.0.1 instead.
yup.
the Pay stuff and watch compatibility will likely be big enough to justify .X releases each.
I still expect iOS 9 and 10, etc for a while yet.
