Apple Testing Three Significant iOS 8 Updates Simultaneously Ahead of Major Product Launches

Honestly, I disagree for 8.2/8.3
I think that you're right on the money for 8.1
I think that 8.2 will be released before the end of 2014. Probably to polish iOS 8 on devices such as the 4s and the 6+. Also to possibly make improvements for the new iPads.
I think that iOS 8.3 will be released in March with the Apple Watch. I don't see Apple releasing a major update in May/June since they'll be focusing on iOS 9.
Apple usually doesn't have this many things in such a short pipeline. I haven't seen this many at once, but it makes sense.
Switch back to Iphone 6+ from HTC One
- feel iOS lack personality. but clean
- bad cellular & wifi connection. Keep switching "airplane mode" to get signal
- Lack of customization ( like switch for cellular data connection in quick menu )
- iPhone 6+ is bigger than Galaxy Note

With all of the beta testing they presumably do on these devices, I still don't understand how they could've botched 8.0.1 so badly. How is it possible that you miss bugs that are that significant? I don't want to say that it's shaken my confidence in Apple because I didn't personally experience the issues, but it just seems like quality control in software has taken a dip in the past year or two. It seems like they're rushing things out.
You know, I'd really be interested to hear about some of these nasty bugs people have been using.
I've been on iOS for over two months, and to tell the truth on most days I didn't even remember I was running it.
I think that a lot of people confuse bugginess caused by third party apps that haven't been updated, or for which the updates themselves cause issues with iOS bugginess.
Can any of you folks who are experiencing all this incessant and horrible bugginess please enlighten the rest of us about what the issues are? Serious question.

There will always be reasons to jailbreak.
Depends on your point of view and needs. I no longer needed jailbreaking once another carrier in the US besides AT&T started selling the iPhone...
There would be a lot fewer if the iOS testers inside Apple who are logged visiting this website spent some time reading the forums.There will always be reasons to jailbreak.
One of those fixes better be to fix the Bluetooth in 8.0.2.
I've got BT in my car and as as add-on devices, and sometimes iOS 8.0.2 sees the device and doesn't pair. Sometimes it sees a device it paired with before and doesn't connect.
Never seen anproduct this buggy at release.
+1, I'm finding it's rock steady connecting to my UE boom speaker, and mostly to my headset, but BTLE is a disaster, I have to repair my Polar H7 every time I want to use it, and only once that's paired will the fitbit one connect (even then it's incredibly slow).
Each new version of iOS picks up a feature or two from the jailbreak community (e.g. iMessage quick responses in iOS 8); but I suspect I'll always have a desire to jailbreak. Currently my favorite tweak is FlipControlCenter - it let's me customize the Control Center toggles. So, for example, turning my T-Mobile personal hotspot on and off is one quick action. Additionally, it let's you add more than five, if you wish - they're scrollable.
So there's still a few minor bugs in iOS 8.0.2. But mostly, I find issues with developer's who are slow to update their apps to run seemlesly on the new system. C'mon devs!
Some of us are waiting for Apple to fix its bugs so we can fix our software.
Seeing that the autoupdate of apps has already messed with my ability to use Pages (have to install ios8 to use icloud drive to use pages with all of my files -:|)
I would hope that 8.1 or 8.2 improves speed and stability on the 4S and ipad 2. No desire to spend a months rent on a new phone.

There is already a solution to this, that has been around for a while now, and it's swiping right from the left edge of the screen.
As long as Apple not implementing iFile like feature and not allowing using iPad camera kit and my SD card as external storage, I will jailbreak..:
And the first iOS 8.1 beta is already out: https://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/29/apple-seeds-first-ios-8-1-beta-to-developers/
That was just one example. Swiping right from the left is handy for going back in apps like Mail/Settings/Safari but doesn't help in selecting accounts/folders/inboxes that are at the top of the screen or other options that are on the top of the screen in other apps.
Still would like to see a 640x1136 mode that would work for all apps.
This, this and this!
And why the removal of being able to post to facebook or twitter without having to use the actual apps?
