I'm suprised to see this. This unfortunately means that iOS 8.0 will run slower than 7.0 in all devices. Otherwise they wouldn't have removed iPad 3 support.
Got a tip for us?

The do, but they only store the last 30 days or the last 1,000. You would have to download these to iPhoto in order to keep them (you also have them on your phone until you delete them). This time around, all your photos will stay in iCloud FOREVER. No limits on the number of photos or days.
Getting everything would be great, getting some things that are perhaps more important and/or would be more useful to more people overall is still rather good.
So? Many people here obviously prefer Apple/iOS for a variety of reasons. And that's okay. You like Android, other people prefer iOS. To each their own.
Yes, it's pretty good, no doubt.
I'm just don't like Apple's insistence of file obstruction. With iCloud Drive though, that could open up a bit.
No, the iPad 3 is supported - Apple's website is very confusing, as seen below.
Allez my iPad 2 - meaning no upgrade for me this year.
Now sounds like a wise investment though, despite its shortfalls (poor screen compared to Retina models and rubbish camera)!Looking forward to using Yosemite on my still-current iMac - phew! I honestly thought it was going to be replaced.

I am under the impression that the 3rd gen iPad is supported, it is listed on Apple as iPad with Retina, and in the presentation they said 8 will be available to all devices that run iOS 7, so your iPad 3 will be good to go! I also have the 3 and will now be keeping it for another year!
Well, now I've just read some details about it and even though it's not a proper replacement for a file manager, it definitely is a step toward the right direction. It can indeed be useful if apps start to support it soon.
Sounds like things are being opened up. We'll see to what degree exactly. But it's still progress in the right direction, which is good.

Exactly.
There is an app called "Swiftkey" that already does the predictive typing. Voxer is an app that let's you send audio messages and it works across platforms (iOS and Android). I didn't see anything worth giving up my jsilbreak for. Although I'm getting the iPhone 6 so I'll lose jailbreak anyway.
I was not blown away. The only thing I really liked was the ability to use your phone from your desktop or iPad and getting the non iOS text messages on other devices.
This. Glad they have woken up and smelt the coffee. The Extensibility feature also straight from Android, many things in iOS 8 are in fact, I'm glad.

A lot of people will say it's "just" copying but honestly google copies Apple on some stuff and Apple will have to copy android on some. It's just the nature of innovation. You can't always innovate EVERYTHING
Btw, the iCloud drive works like a file manager except that it only works online. I don't know why they're trying so hard not to add a file manager by implementing various workarounds.
To be honest my expectations were quite high so that might explain the "meh" feeling.
Now if i was a developer...

why does it have to be revolutionary? Do you really expect Apple to change the world every year? No company does that. Relax with the hyperbole.
Who said I like Android? My guess is the # of Apple products in my house exceeds yours and many others here.
Probably not, but I disagree - it's not the core features, mind you, that will make or break iOS 8 but rather the extensibility enhancements to allow 3rd party apps to integrate with each other much more freely. That will allow the developers to really make the platform rock.
Exactly!
This is how many industries have worked. And for those of us who use Android and iOS daily, this is just awesome, I'm glad iOS is getting more functional.
I was stunned to hear this, but then I checked Apple's US website (there isn't one for other countries) and realised it was true!
Perhaps Apple made a big mistake and the A5X and PowerVR SGX543MP4 aren't going to be powerful enough to feed that retina display plus the (admittedly rather minor) add-ons, which is really surprising.

"iPad with Retina Display (3rd Generation)" IS the iPad 3's other name, IT IS supported by iOS 8.
Android is ugly. iOS looks better and I'd rather use it. Sure, it's been missing key features Android has horribly implemented... But now that they're there, im pretty happy.
It's called personal preference.
