Wow man...its like a double rainbow.

And if Safari is.... [censored, to avoid annoying the moderators].

Shinier?

 

[davidgnomo]

Installing now! Can't wait to use Apple Pa- oh wait, US only. *side-eyes*

This ... big time !!!

 

[JAT]

Yeah basically. lol

Gonna free up some space later, installing via iTunes for now.

That's why I use iTunes Match. Although I'm reconsidering it due to some bugs.

dude . forget about apple pay.

Just tell me if my 4S will be as fast as on ios 7 .

It's so unusable

where's the vending machine guy? i want to know if it worked for him.

As soon as I scan my Wells Fargo card I'm asked to download the 'Wells Fargo Verify' app. Did they say anything about this during the keynote?

 

[John.B]

Bending my iPhone 6 now in anticipation!

Darn, a little too big to DL over cellular over the air.

They never allow OTA updates over cellular, no matter the size.

5s doesn't have NFC, it won't work.

Apple Pay is only for 6/6+.

 

[Xiph0s]

Bank of America card worked. My Chase card isn't working

 

[graywolf323]

updated but SMS relay still doesn't seem to be working yet

edit: oh iMessage activation apparently failed after the restart

 

[AppleRobert]

Preparing update. We all know it is time to take a nap!

 

[AkuskaUK]

Installed on both an iPhone 6 and 1st gen iPad Mini, working fine!

 

[Jeremy1026]

I only have 1 card that is Pay eligible. And its one that my wife and I never use. That I honestly, didn't even know we had. A little sad that my Amazon card (Visa logo, issued by Chase) isn't supported.

 

[Markiie]

still not getting SMS relay.......

 

[stridemat]

Nice quick download and installed and all seems to be working. No hiccups at all it seems.

 

[powermt]

Rebooting right now. Heading to CVS and Whole Foods to test.

 

[abydm]

slowest update ever........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[centauratlas]

what if I am on 8.1 beta2. Should I do a Restore or can I simply choose Update in iTunes?

Just update

 

[wannabelean]

I don't have the option to select between 2G, 3G or LTE networks for cellular data. WTH!

 

[greytmom]

Thanks for sharing. I expected more than 8 videos to be taking up that much space. Must be mostly apps then?

Oops. I missed the 8 videos part. Must be really big videos...

I'd be interested to see the revenue numbers for McDonald's, Walgreens, and Panera today. It will be interesting to see if there's a spike within the next hour or two.

Not likely. Overall, not that many people have the iPhone 6 and 6+ yet. Then for them to update within minutes and make it to the store that fast?

I work at Walgreens so I can look tomorrow (off today), but sales were up 18% one day within the last week and down 5% another day at our store, so I don't think any information I get would be very useful. I've not even heard anything about it at work (boss got the memo that was posted here, but didn't bother to share it with anyone).

 

[bozzykid]

Don't be disappointed.

Keep on spreading misinformation. It will not matter. No matter how many times you say it, it will not make it true.

 

[atlchamp]

Just updated to 8.1 but there is a 1 on the settings icon. How do I get rid of it?!

 

[iolinux333]

Have logged in and out of App Store, am connected to Wifi, but no dice... update not available for me yet

Santa keeps a list. No update for you this year. Now go off and try to be a good boy!
