There are some bugs related to animations and lag and when I try to submit a bug report to apple, the idiots ask me for screenshots. How the f. am I suppose to take a screenshot of an animation?

Just take a screenshot after the animation finishes and submit that. It won't demonstrate it really but it gets the big submitted with enough information in it (screenshot aside) for them to understand it.

Biggest problem is the buggy copy/paste which lasts now for many months. Such an important feature and they can't get it right. Very microsoftish.

Certainly one of the more common and annoying ones that I've also been dealing with for some time. And one of the more basic ones that they really should have been able to fix long ago.

What are the issues with weather, music and health. On my 5s they seem to be working as designed; good, bad or indifferent.

Besides the questionable UI of these three Apps:

Weather: Animation when switching cities via menu is slow

Music: Some of my artists are sorted weird (there is a thread about it), Scrolling through interprets and albums lags, Coverflow is super slow, sometimes Itunes Match isn't loading, graphical glitches when switching playlists (maybe related to the size)

Health: Looses data sometimes, dashboard data disappears, the app messes up some data during import of some apps and there is data duplication with bands like Jawbone

I'm screwed this side. Blowing through data like a pig on heat. :(

iCloud Documents & Sync is running non-stop in the background, with zero apps running. Joy.

Yup although it doesn't appear to affect normal operations much. Might be the workaround Apple are doing to fix the GMT issue.

I have since done another FRESH install of 8.2 and was faced with the iCloud downtime and was unable to sync any of my calendars and contacts etc.

However it seems to have worked now (Only appears to be the AppStore having issues now) - CoreTime crash logs are now gone.

Seems weird as i did a clean install of 8.2 without any form of backup when it was released.
 
This was in iOS 7.0, 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2. It was not in 7.1:

Swiping an application up to force-close it sometimes leave a blank space in the task switcher.

In 7.0 this was easy to do. It was fixed in 7.1.

In 8.0 (and still in 8.1 and 8.2) it was brought back, but a little trickier to do (and so probably not reported as much).

If you swipe the app up all the way to the top of the screen (without lifting up your finger), it will sometimes leave the blank spot. Simply flicking the app up from the bottom rarely results in the blank spot.

It was one of the first things I checked when 8.2 came out. It still isn't fixed.

I have not been able to duplicate the slow animation issues on the weather app. The music app seems to handle my limited number of songs as it did before and finally I turned of data collection to the health app. I suspect it will take some time to get the entire health app thing sorted out.
 
Fixed Bluetooth Phone/Audio mode handoff issue with my car. Now, I can hear the call before the other party picks up.

No other noticeable issues. Been at least as fast and stable as 7.1.2 since version 8.0.2, and 8.2 doesn't change that observation for me. And the 8.2 update didn't erase the Health data like one of the prior updates did.

I've seen my Health data erased a couple of times already. Doesn't matter to me because I use separate apps for step and cycle tracking. But, it also indicates to me that Health is not yet at a point where I would rely on it as my only tracker for health data.
 
Touch ID is completely dead for me. Preparing for a clean install now (not as easy with google authenticator which doesn't get backed up in iTunes backups).
 
Extremely buggy

I did an OTA update to 8.3 on my 64gb iphone 6 plus and regret it

Some of the bugs include

1. Screen turning gray when I swipe down from home screen to search . This was there in the first iteration but disappeared in the subsequent updates only to resurface again
2. Laggy scrolling
3. LAGGY UI!
4. When I hold down on a word to copy , the magnifying glass (zoom) doesn't disappear till I force close the app
5 More frequent app crashes
6. Third party keyboards still lags ( especially swiftkey)
7. Freezing when rotating between landscape and portrait mode.


The overall experience has been very disappointing . I am going to do a fresh install via iTunes since that generally seems to fix the problems.
 
OP, you missed an option to vote for - "Not buggy".

I've installed on an iPhone 5 (OTA), an iPad 3 (OTA), an iPad Air (OTA), and two iPhone 6s (one clean and one OTA) - no problems on any of them. All VZW devices.

I only got this bug to work if I was trying to close multiple apps at once.

I had the exact same issues as you 16GB ip6+ only I did a DFU restore when it first came out, just did another restore about 2 hrs ago hopefully it's fixed
 
I still cannot get my TV Shows to properly sync into their appropriate folders... I have 9 different TV Shows in iTunes, but they all get synced... Some with missing artwork, and they all go into the same folder as if it was one show.
 
My phone crashed once while listening to music, other then that it seems pretty good.
 
Battery life has drastically tanked for me. With 3 hrs usage I would have been around 65-70% with mixture of Wifi and 4G. Now I'm 56% with same kind of pattern. That's no small decline seeing as it wasn't all that to start with. This phone won't get me through a day. I can't charge when I need to so I'm afraid Apple have lost a customer. It's no longer fit for purpose.
 
Video playback in Safari is slightly improved, but scrubbing still doesn't work well. Orientation issues have not been fixed for me. In fact, it's worse. There have been times it's taken 2 to 3 seconds for the screen to rotate after being turned. Sometimes it doesn't rotate at all. Otherwise, my phone works very well.
 
I am getting more lockups...where I cannot even press icons and have to reboot. Twice now since the upgrade and never before 8.2
