If the 5s slows down with iOS 8

Far too many Apple apologists here. Since I am paying them full price for their phones and ipads, I will not cut them any slack. iOS 8 in its current form is un-optimised pile of carp.
Somewhere it feels that Apple leadership have relaxed attitude when it comes to software quality and smoothness. Steve Jobs would have yelled at the current iOS team and may have even fired Sir Ives.

No lag? It takes at least 2-3 second for messages to load. All you get before is the white screen
Edit: Safari going pervious page or next page when swipe from edge left and right takes long time for pages to reload.
Bring back Forstall!! Lol
Seriously though I have a little lag on Safari on my Ipad Mini but it still runs smoother than Android and hopefully they will get things sorted quickly. I do agree though, I would have expected better from Apple before IOS7. They set the bar high and will be held to that high standard.

iOS 8 is purring like a kitten on my iPhone 5S.
Notice how the speed of the 6 models are NOT double that of the 5S, as has been the case of the previous iPhone line models; that means something indicative that iOS shouldn't have much problem at all with the 5S hardware.

Or new software is more demanding than older software. It's written and optomized for newer hardware. This isn't Apple "deliberately" slowing down their old hardware. It is technology moving forward and/or sloppy coding at worst.
According to benchmarks, the A8 is 25% faster than the A7. There is more going on that just a 100MHz upgrade, which alone would attribute about 7.7% boost in speed.
Anyway, I really don't need to be argumentative, iOS 8 runs fine on the 5s.
Haha! Porntube. Good spot. Anyway, who are we to judge, we've all settled down for a quiet chug while the wife is out once in a while.
another conspiracy thread about this..& thats why my iphone 5 is doing just fine with ios 8 right..then theres those saying their 5s is "slowing down" & blame apple "apple is doing it in purpose!1one"
every year this "apple is doing this to previous devices on purpose" crap..
