iOS 8 has been the worse, most buggy iOS ever release. Yeah I said it.
For the first time, I'm experiencing entire system lock ups where I can't even go back to home screen or power off and on.
Apps crashing left and right, basic things like selecting text and dragging down in safari goes in the reverse direction. If allowing those android third party like keyboards etc is causing this, please they could keep it, I just want my stable mobile OS back.

You are kidding right? Android works well on a stock device out of the box.
The second you start adding things it bogs down.
The skins / add-on all the manufacturers are mostly horrible.
It only runs smoothly on the highest spec devices
Many Many devices are not updated after release.
I've still not experienced an android interface that doesn't lag or stutter now and then - even on a S5.
My nephews android got a virus in 3 hours flat... A FRICKIN' virus on a PHONE!
Every version of Android has had major issues - BUT only on certain devices... which is the shoe issue with fragmentation. If something goes wrong on Apple it's a quick fix... Andorid can take weeks if not months if it's not a popular device.

But at least when it breaks down it will still look good
Depends how many months it takes to rust.
The funniest thing about this thread is everyone using it as an excuse to tell everyone what car they drive! Especially engine and spec! As if that makes a difference!
We need someone to step up and become the, "Apple Guinea Pig," who updates first, plays with it for a day or two then gives the thumbs up for the world to update.
For it's better for one man to die, than the whole world.
Rule of thumb, going foreword, turn down your fanboism and wait a month before updating if you want a smooth and uninterrupted experience.

No problem with 5s Bluetooth on 2014 Fozzy using all iOS 8 versions.
if you are paring new device to the car, old device should be deleted first.
But definitely having issue with battery drains and getting hot while using wifi with wifi-calling enabled. There is no doubt Apple will fix all the issues. which is why I turned my back on android, no regret yet.

Absolute nonsense.
Back on topic, my Ferrari 458 Italia is having Bluetooth issues as well.
So it connects well to your motorcycle?
A Beemer is a BMW bike, a bimmer is a BMW car.

So if Scott Forstall was fired for not apologizing for Maps, do they fire the entire team who makes iOS after not apologizing for this?
Not to start drama or anything, but even if he was arrogant, at least we had a better iOS while he was around.

Pay gets here. Maybe he owns a BMW bike
But, spot on - you are one of the few that discern that difference!!
Probably most of the blame here goes to Apple, but Toyota/Lexus bluetooth implementation in general is just the worst ever.

Scott deserved to be fired since Apple Map was ***** disaster and users got no alternative. iOS 8.x.x so far didn't cause any issue except 8.0.1 for some, not everyone, but only 40,000 downloads and Apple corrected within a few days. iOS 8.0.2 again may create some issue for few. The point is, you cannot test the software compatibility on every piece of accessory out there. That's why you need the vendor to update the firmware to work with new iOS version.

Let me guess: iPhone 4S?...lol.
"From the iPhone 5 owner with iOS 8.0.0 and iOS 8.0.2 working like charm"
Wish I could agree. I have a Kenwood Excelon unit and it has intermittently had every single issue I've read in this thread. I've tried most of the fixes, those intermittently help, also.
i6 still on iOS 8.0. Did not have these problems with i5 on iOS 7.x.
The only issue I had in my 2014 4Runner was that the audio on bluetooth was EXTREMELY low the first couple of days using my 6 plus with 8.0. I had to use the volume buttons on the phone to get a decent audio level. I must have restarted my phone or something because it's not a problem at all now. Sound quality is fine, texts come through and no problems with calls dropping. Just updated to 8.0.2 last night and so far no problems
In many cases, this kind of problems could be fixed by removing the paired devices and then doing a new pairing. This way, both devices will identify each other's services, specially if any of these have changed due to a software or firmware upgrade.
Hm, I wasn't aware that the "bending" issue was an iOS 8 bug.
Miss the context of my comment much??
Pay no mind. Bending will be fixed via an upcoming firmware update.
