To be or not to be on Ios 8. Review, features, pros and cons.

Hi friends,

      With the latest launch of the Apple's Iphone 6 in the market came a new firmware release for the apple users the most awaited Ios8.

Well we all like to update our phone's os to the latest to avail the latest features and interface provided by the company. But if you are thinking of updating your old iPhones, iPods or ipads to the ios 8, think twice before you do so.

Things you should know before updating:-

• People with an old iPhone should not even think of the update and by old iphone i mean lower than iPhone 5.
• Again people with old iphone or even a new iPhone 5 with capacity of 8 or 16 Gb just forget that ios8 has been released.
• Same goes for people with old ipad and ipod.
• Some 4s seems to work with ios8 but not very well also these are phones which are either 32 or 64 Gb. But you just can't rely on luck and update your 4s.
• Phones below 4s, this updated is not for you.

Pros of Ios8 :-

• New features like Health kit and home kit are included.
• New keyboard and word suggestions as per words you have used previously.
• If things goes your ways extended battery life.
• New imessage interface where you can record audio messages directly like we do on whatsapp.
• Icloud driver which is apple's answer to dropbox features of other phones.

Cons of Ios8:-

• Lagre space requirement the os expands upto 5-7 Gb.
• Slow running devices.
• Phone hangs on call answered.
• Poor wi-fi connectivity.
• Battery drainage on few devices.
• Notes lost while updating.
• Apps like fb, map, weather and etc goes unresponsive and the only solution is a restart of the phone.

Although apple has been working days and nights to resolve the issue and have almost fixed a lot of the bugs in the latest Ios 8.0.2 firmware release. Yet it has a huge area to improve. And there has be rumours to release 8.1 & 8.1.1 very soon which will and should fix all the bugs. 

So if you are planning to updated just stop and thing To or not to be on Ios8. And especially if you have an old phone just listen to my advice and don't update.
