    Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep the old iOS 7 until I'm forced to change.

    Ha! All us windows users welcome you to the madness of updates that are always somehow worse than the software they replaced! :cornut:

    I use the "call xxxxx" feature a lot. Thanks for the heads-up. Hope enough people will voice their opinions to get it addressed.

    I'll be staying with 7 because the 4 isn't on the list for 8.

    The best feature of iOS8 is the encryption Apple put in so they can't override your lock. It keeps them out of the government stealing your data fight.

    I was thinking about migrating from 7 to 8. Then I asked a client that I'm doing app testing for if they wanted me top update. Only if I want no work, they have to fix the app to work in 8. At this time, no update for me.

    I just did my iPad. It is working fine. But I am not allowed to upgrade my company iPad. One of our mission critical apps is not compatible yet.

    My dumb phone doesn't even text. I was getting text advertising, so I turned off texting on it, problem solved!

    The only issue I have with 8 so far is a bit more battery drain than before. I think it's related to the Health app, but haven't been able to totally narrow it down due to the fact that my access to Apple's service site has been restricted at work recently due to a phishing fiasco.

    I work for an Apple Authorized service provider, and someone jacked our access to the part's ordering system and tried to steal some phones. The idiot didn't change the shipping address though, so we got all of them shipped to us the next morning, and he got squat.

    But because of that, I have limited access to the professional diagnostics to figure out where my battery drain is coming from for a few days.

    Ugh.

    Also, I liked the iOS 7 camera roll system better than iOS 8's system.

    No issues with Siri though.
