Going by the Slow Forum, it is definitely snappier than ios 7.

Apparently if you have ~500 mb free like I did it prompts 4.7gb space needed for install (wish I had taken a picture of it) but if you have more than 1gb free, then it is ok. Stupid but whatever. 

 

Will investigate the embedded youtube issue more in a few hours. 

...and Home Sharing works again on my phone!  Woohoo!

Pretty quick on my 5S also. I think it asked to free up 5.8 gb or something to install. 

Are these for OTA updates or tethered updates?

OTA update on my 5s. Mine did not ask me to free up extra space, though (about 10gb free spce at the time of update).

Doing tethered update on iPad 4 since it got stuck trying it OTA. Didn't ask to free up extra space here either.

OTA (I haven't updated though). 

Mine was OTA. 

I downloaded the gold master for the iphone 5 and 5s, and am doing an OTA update on the ipad mini.

I still haven't gotten a receipt for someone buying me one

Updating somehow killed Safari and Mail on my iPad 4.  I think this is the first time I've had any problem with an iOS update.  Easy enough to fix by restoring from a backup.

my daughter's iphone 5 doesn't work with tmobile wifi calling.  It's a known bug, but it was the main reason she wanted to jump on day 1.

I've been using wifi calling for years. It's fantastic when you need it.

**BRENT**

Just finished update to my iPhone 5 via OTA. Holy hell it took a long time to install. So far though, really liking the additions to the keyboard, texting, and the camera. The voice recording within text is super awesome. And I'm seeing zero lag. If anything, my phone seems snappier.

Trying to update my iPad 3. Held steady at 12 hours to update OTA. After a couple hours stopped and started downloading in iTunes. Now showing 26 hours. 

Gave up. Will try again tonight.

Damn, I thought the 2 hours it took me was bad.

IPad mini took all day at work, yesterday using the guest wifi. Saw "7 hours remaining" at one point.

My 5s took less than an hour for the update.  iPad 4 took about 3 hours, including the time I needed to reset/restore from backup.

Yah, my ipad mini took forever.  About 7 minutes to download, and about an hour to do the actual install.

I only watched through about the first five but it's hilarious how many of these have been on Android for years...

I have a bunch of these features on my Note 3 and they are implemented just fine. I've been using Swiftkey and Swipe since I got my S4 and it works great, as an example. Just saying. They are both great keyboards and worth trying.

I installed Swiftkey, and don't care for it much.  I also have Fleksy, which has promise.

Probably not implemented well in ios8.

Sure, some of the features have been on Android for years, but there are many that Android doesn't have built in yet.  Why all the hate?
