It's clear that Apple is slowly starting to kill i5/5s as I noticed a lot of slowdowns/hangs/high battery drain occuring comparing to my other i5s that I sticked to 7.1.2(stable).... My gf's i6 do have glitches but at a lesser extent compared to my i5s with the latest iOS 8.x....

Rubbish...it drains battery on 5S... Plus it doesn't correct the disappeared messages in messages app... It seems btw that they fix the spotlight problem though

iOS 8 was the most unstable of all the iOS versions.. No matter what updates you apple guys put into it.. Nothing was right.. Although iOS 8 has more to offer than iOS7 but the 7 is way better than 8 when it comes to stability of the software.. Just like in windows OS after Vista (that sucks alot) comes windows 7 and yes.. Its like XP but vista style.. Then comes windows 8? Everything got screwed up.. I tell you hopefully iOS 9 will offer not just more features but the stabilization as a whole.. Same in windows.. I hope windows 10 is way better than the screwed up 8.. Not a geek or an IT expert? But with concerns to my tech surroundings.. Wow..

It's still organized better and didn't even glitch out as much, but even how I see ios, it works perfect for me tbh. I didn't have a single problem. Microsoft didn't even try at all. Ios did what they could. I understand you though when most Apple products don't support some versions, but to me, I am doing perfect. I'm sure there is still hope for you on 8.2.x

Does anyone still have the motion calibration issue?

gamerscul9870 - January 28, 2015 at 9:04pm

Not a bit.

Abdo - January 28, 2015 at 10:34am

Still same old S**T!...on iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6+ Safari and Wi-Fi lag/drop off still exist with this release. DAMN THIS iOS 8.X.X...lets move to iOS 9.X.X, obviously this current iOS is a fail...

gamerscul9870 - January 28, 2015 at 1:29am

this ios like other past releases works for me. It's not an all time low like the new windows ever was (even if you include 9) but maybe your devices are old because they don't support the newer ios any good. Any concerns about that! I use iPad Air and iPhone 5s and they run perfect. Same new update that continues to grow. Well move to ios 9 if it does what 8 did and so forth.

Yo...did you not read the part when I said I updated to iOS 8.1.3 on my NEWER iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 (two iPads and two iPhones) all with 128GB...and all exhibiting the same issues although the iPhones are not as temperamental as the iPads. When I had my iPhone 5S on iOS 8.X.X it was the same issues that is why I am cursing this iOS version...

Deependra Paswan - January 27, 2015 at 8:58pm

I frequently gets flickering screen fr fraction of seconds and screen gets stuck most of the time.

sck - January 27, 2015 at 7:15pm

Fixes and issue that prevented some >>suers<< from entering their Apple ID LOL :DD

gamerscul9870 - January 27, 2015 at 8:57pm

So suers are allowed on ios or did you misspell it?

sck - January 28, 2015 at 7:43am

m_thoroughbred - January 27, 2015 at 6:12pm

Roberto Mihalic - January 27, 2015 at 6:08pm

does it patch PP JB?

stevenlacross - January 27, 2015 at 6:19pm

PP jailbreak was patched already in iOS 8.1.1 but taig jailbreak might or might not have been patched, probably did though

Roberto Mihalic - January 27, 2015 at 7:47pm

PP didn't exist when ios 8.1.1 came out, PP JB is for ios 8.1.2 mac os x only

stevenlacross - January 27, 2015 at 9:50pm

It's the same as taig, just written for Mac, sorry I don't use Mac and didn't know what your talking about, PP sounded more like the pangu jailbreak than taig. Either way, it's patched so no jailbreak for 8.1.3

Soroosh - January 27, 2015 at 6:08pm

I Hope after few months Apple fixes Spotlight delay search problem.

Jacob - January 27, 2015 at 6:07pm

There's so much things that I want this update to fix.

Mr bow jangles - January 27, 2015 at 6:08pm

You mean so many

Jacob - January 27, 2015 at 6:11pm

Yes, you are right. I am using Dictate. It's bad for editing, so I don't.

Polycarp - January 27, 2015 at 6:14pm

Hope it will fix battery drain and many other issues with IOS 8.1.2?

Jacob - January 27, 2015 at 6:17pm

I have issues with Safari. I have to move the page down before I can click on anything. In some cases the keyboard freezes.
