Since updating my iPhone 5 to iOS8 performance has slowed considerably: Apps take longer to launch and interface animation stutters.
When turning the phone on and off, the screen goes black - I have to keep pressing the on/off sleep/wake switch to get the screen to illuminate.
Typing into web pages in landscape on my iPhone 5 (using the standard keyboard - I've not tried installing any third party keyboards yet) is taking me ages: there are often only two lines of text visible due to the word suggestion feature. I've just noticed as I type this that the text display isn't automatically scrolling so unless I manually scroll down the window, I can't see what I'm typing! Positioning the magnifying glass is challenging - its position is not following my finger. The behaviour of the backspace is also unpredictable . . . and I am now typing this on my Mac because Safari crashed mid-sentence !
I like the new iOS8 features (although the key feature for me - the health app is not linking to any fitness apps yet due to acknowledged bug) but the performance hit, bugs and app crashing created by the iOS8 upgrade means I now want to return to iOS7.
I'm surprised because unlike previous iOS releases IOS 8 was in public beta for a few months as well as being with developers since WWDC.
If Apple are going to move deeper into the enterprise (with IBM for example) they need to prioritise stabity even if it means moving from an annual upgrade cycle. They haven't managed this with Mac OS - the last three Mac OS updates have not been usable in an enterprise/Pro App environment until around 9 months after their release.
