Apple Releases iOS 8.3 With Emoji Updates, Wireless CarPlay, Space Bar UI Fix

Did anyone else lose all their notes in the Apple Note app after updating to 8.3?

My notes are fine. It even remembered which note I was in and the edit point I was at from before the update.

This probably means that they are swapping out apps in the background to accommodate the tabs in memory. Or they are locally caching pages rather than loading entirely in RAM.

Also, http://gshock.com/watches - which is a hellish site full of watch images - is now loading entirely in Safari without that annoying reload prompt below the address bar (Chrome still crashes but that is Google's problem).

Can confirm that page loads fine without crashing anymore. I'm not noticing much of a difference - if any - with tab reloading. Still poor.
 
Good news! The annoying ui glitch when the corners of folders on the home screen jitter when you open them has FINALLY been fixed. Thank you Apple! :D
 
Great to see the Apple team hard at work developing new emojis. By the way, I see they added new gay family emojis but I don't see any inter-racial families. Maybe one day Apple will focus on fixing the evergrowing number of bugs/crashes that I experience multiple times/day. They have lost focus of what made their devices great, namely their once rock-solid OS.

What device you using? I've been using my 6+ for a while now with the update and the tab reloading is not as bad as it was before. I don't use heavy sites.. just a few forums and Facebook.
 
I think that's the longest list of detailed bug fixes Apple has ever published. It's clear they launched iOS 8 half assed.
 
Vodafone UK are slating a Summer release for VoLTE but under Settings>Mobile I can toggle Voice & Data between 2G/3G/4G now on my iPhone 6+.

Naturally when 4G is selected it falls back to 3G during a call.
 
applepay cards in passbook get stuck at the very top of the screen a reswipe repositions them properly. weird

If you are on the EE network in the UK, this update enables the feature that Apple have dubbed "wifi calling". Technically it is voice over wifi using an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) in the operator's core network. No apps are required for this. You use the handset in exactly the same way as when you are connected to the radio network. This is likely to be a big deal for people who have no coverage at home.

I've been looking forward to this!
From the description I see on their site, they seem to imply that if you start a call while on wifi, and then disconnect (ie leave the house) , the call will end? Shouldn't happen that frequently, but I was under the impression it would seamlessly do the transition between cellular / wifi?
People using it in the states, any insight on how it works with your carriers?

Would any of the 50+ people who upvoted this care to explain why they did so?

It seems like the most random thing to upvote. It's not funny (IMO), it's not useful... so what on earth warranted that it be upvoted by such a huge margin above any other post?

Simple... 50+ people disagree with your opinion.
 
Is the performance faster and better on the iPhone 4S? I have a friend that hasn't upgraded to iOS 8 yet so is it faster?
 
Thank you, Apple, I've been trying Beta 4 and I love your products. Thanks for still supporting my 4S #

My pets are feeling discriminated against because none of the cat, dog and fish emojis look like them :(

Hello :)

Yes, I've been using the Beta 4 and its sooooooooo much smoother and usable. You won't regret it one bit.
 
Ok i updated from 8.3 beta 4 to 8.3 final, now how the hell do i get rid of the feedback app or does it stay?

The EE service launched today is Voice over Wifi. The radio / wifi handover you describe will need their Voice over LTE service, which is not available yet.
