iOS 8 is laggy... What the heck?

Jobs wouldn't have let this happen...

 

no its not ios 8, my iphone 5 is fine

 

I did a reset network settings, and a shut down and all looks fine on my ip5.
maybe check with the usage battery to see if there is some incompatibility with the older apps that could be slowing it down or a mem leak.

I notice a slew of updates for many apps that showed up in the app store.

 

Smooth as butter here on a 5, much better than 7. I suspect it's because I set up as new iPhone.

 

My iPad 4 is very choppy. 5s is still preparing update, iPad 4 has been on all the betas and honestly the gm feels slower that the last betas.

 

Don't worry - it's a beta

 

1 gig of ram.

Just kidding.

 

Probably just some tasks running behind the scene, like downloading your photos and re-creating the indexes of your contacts and apps and history, for spotlight search. Preparing logs to send to Apple server (which is hammered right now by everyone trying to update and download), etc...

 

I did a fresh DFU restore on my iPad Air. After it started for the first time, I tapped on Safari icon and it crashed even before opening.

 

Give it time to settle. Like 24 hours. After I restored the GM clean last week my 5s was laggy, wifi was terrible, phone was really hot. After a day or so this freaking thing is outstanding! I was off the charger for three days and still had some juice left this morning!!

 

Yep, here its comes! Me and plenty of others warned about iOS 8 being laggy as hell even on the newest iPads. Get ridiculed only for the masses to start saying the same thing. Irony.

 

Every time I update iOS, I do another restart of my phone. Usually helps.

 

unless u left it in airplane mode with wifi off & never did any calls & hardly texts i find that just slightly hard to believe..

 

I wouldn't say I am a power user, as I use a landline mostly from work. But I certainly made some calls, surfed the web, sent iMessages, etc. I just charged again so can't see the Usage screen, but I was on 2 days+ of standby and about 6 hours of usage I think.

 

Apple dislikes iPads? What a stupid statement to make.

 

I've noticed that weather app is lagy don't remember how it was on 7, also did fresh install just to test it out ant yes animations are choppy when going from place to place in weather app

 

My phone was VERY laggy too when it first rebooted after the install finished (iPhone 5). It even took the Facebook app (the one that just updated today) about 6 seconds to fully load after being opened. However, after another restart, and a little time, things are improving. There are a few stutters here and there, especially when related to typing/safari, but even those are getting less and less quickly. My iPad 4 is still finishing the installation, so thats another story, but for now I'm satisfied on my iP5. Just give it some time like others said.

 

iPad Air, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S - none of them are lagging, it's the same as iOS 7.

 

Ohh there was this dude who claimed that GM is different than public build even the build number is same.

 

5S here, updated via iTunes and did NOT do a clean install. So far it's pretty smooth. I was kinda surprised to see it default to the largest text setting so all the notifications and text messages looked huge but I quickly changed that.

Also noticing the Weather app looks messed up. No weather animations, just blank cards.

 

when i updated last year to iOS7 it started out sluggish but I didn't realize it was sat ill trying to organize my apps and songs

 

He did let it happen. iOS updates have always crippled older devices.
