Apple’s iOS 8 is Available Now

Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!



If you read this blog with any regularity, you know that I am a first adopter. I must have the latest and greatest gizmo the day it is available. My close personal friends actually call me Mr. Gadget!

I first installed iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s. The installation took about an hour, the phone reset 3 times, but it seemed to have gone flawlessly. When I went to download iOS 8 on my iPad, I received a message that told me that I was in line for the update and would download automatically. I decided to go to lunch and upon my return, sure enough it automatically downloaded the update for installation.

Again, given that this experience happened just hours after it was released, it’s an excellent sign that Apple has its act together when it comes to updating their operating systems.

What to expect in the update?

According to Apple there will be improvements in Messages, Photo handling, Camera.  Also a new "Quick Type" keyboard and a New Health App. On my devices, 3 new Apps appeared   ̶  Health, Podcasts and Tips. The latter promises to deliver new tips from Apple every week on how to “Do more with iPhone.”

I’ll report in a future blog and more specifics as I try them out. We’ll also find out in the days ahead, if everyone had the same positive experience that I had throughout the installation process.
