So, thoughts on iOS 8?

Doesn't seem to be massive visual or functional changes which is what I prefer. You can see the influences from whatsapp in Messages which isn't bad I suppose. The word suggestions have been influenced by Android but I'm having a bit of trouble enjoying that, it might grow on me though. Find My Phone will now send you one last message before the phone battery dies which is good and the health app seems pretty useful as long as you have decent apps to work alongside it. The option to have your health info and emergency contact on your lock screen is a good idea.

I panicked when it looked like my photostream had vanished but that's now in 'Collections' and the camera has had a timer and slow-shutter feature added (never had a need for the former, the latter might be good). Music playlists have been a bit more streamlined too.

Doesn't seem to be as big a jump visually as 6 was to 7 but pretty good all the same.

edit: And now you can active 4G even if you're using a network that doesn't offer it yet *cough* Virgin *cough*. Previously the option to use 4G was only available if that network supported it. Not a huge feature though....
