..also when a 3rd party keyboard doesn't pop up in spotlight / email / safari. Drives me nuts!!
Still exists in iOS 8.2 beta 4 as well.
I've got an open bug with Apple but there's been no updates to it.

Still have bug where (stock) keyboard lags badly while typing inside a conversation and new messages arrive in notification center.
It makes it hard to use warez/cracked apps or brag about how cool you are because you like running older software full of bugs and exploits.
Why? What great logic is that? This update has been tested for a while.
8.1.2 was the worst out of all 8.x.x updates anyway, not including the one that messed up the signal and Touch ID on iPhone 6.
it also seems that continuity and airdrop are finally working as advertised. They are both super fast to respond here now.
Nothing's wrong with updating. Just like there's nothing wrong with waiting to see if an update breaks anything. Those of us who delay updating a couple of weeks owe the early adopters a debt of gratitude for being our testers.
Unless an update is critical or addresses an issue I have, I will usually wait 2-4 wks before actually considering updating. Update break anything? No. Then I decide if the update is beneficial to me. If I am running into no issues, I often skip the update.
How's the rotation bug that users have had (me too) since purchasing the 6?
Is it permanently fixed yet?
I.E. screen won't rotate to landscape when opening Maps, or Messages, or Mail.
thx.

Continuity always worked for me although air drop sometimes just has a mind of its own. It seems the UI lag and stutter is mostly gone as far as I can tell which is nice. It's a shame they are still not addressing the UI glitches like
A) folder corner glitch
B) certain text overlapping the border in settings
C) iPad Air play menu
As with every update, you need a couple of battery cycles for the usage to stabilize....so patience please.
"Reduces the amount of storage required to perform a software update"
LOL, of course, they were artificially inflating the size of the software update. Now they're going to have to disclose in the lawsuit what they did to shrink the size of the software updates.
"Oh, we just never bothered to optimize the files ... up until consumers sued our asses."

"Oh, we just never bothered to optimize the files ... up until consumers sued our asses."What about media files from my messages app disapearing? Years of photos, that were stored in the conversation are gone, simply replaced by giant question marks.
Apples QC has seriously gone down hill. Long live 10.6.8, and iOS6

As usual I'll stay on 8.1.1 and wait for a few days for the update issues to arise before committing to 8.1.3
Hopefully I'm wrong!
I wish I had waited. I think 8.1.2 started my GPS drift and general flipping out.
