I want to know whether I should upgrade to iOS8 for my iPhone5?
does anyone have the experience about iOS8 running on iPhone5?
thanks. /Shawn
Rule of thumb. Wait a few weeks or even a few months for a stable release. There is nothing overly exciting an iOS 8 to make me jump ship from 7.1.2 just yet. Plus, Yosemite isn't even out and the two go hand and hand.
Agree, wait for few days, read few of the posts on various forums especially around the bugs part and what's broken.
Another thing I'll wait for is the apps to be updated so that those apps don't slow down the ios with so called memory leak and blah blah...

been running gm, aside from the few bugs where in 1-2% of cases the phone lags, it does on 5s too. so its just sw issue, will be fixed.
in most areas its same as 7.1.2 , in many areas its faster even..
overall better..
Yep.itd stay at 95-100 for a long time and jump down to 70 (draining 1% every 5 mins on its own) And stay there again. It's as if the battery was horribly calibrated.
This is typical and requires a full battery drain to recalibrate properly after upgrading.
Performance for me has been pretty good. Battery life (on the betas and gm) has been absolutely abysmal. i will chalk it up to the 5 being a 2 year old device.
i found a nice feature maybe a hidden one
When you receive an email say with someones work signature and they have a contact number in there, when you read their email, a small pop up shows on top of the email header with person name and phone number and you can add it to your contacts right away or ignore.

mmmm battery draining quickly esp when I'm text messaging. Did a reset etc and will check again.
anyone else having issues.

i was sitting here and it was 31% and then just went down straight to 29% maybe needs to drain completely down and then charged up.

Performing well on mine but where's my Wi-Fi calling? The toggle where it should be simply isn't there.
everything else though, my iPhone 5 is doing well so far with the upgrade which I did OTA. Was also pushed a carrier settings update minutes after the phone was updated. (T-Mobile 17.1)
I rebooted my iPhone hoping that would do the trick but still no Wi-Fi calling option.
