How is 8.4 on the iPhone 5? I've been running 7.1.2 and lately have been encountering apps crashing left and right - especially safari. never had issues like that before.
is it worth the update?

I have an iPhone 5 and whatever they did in 8.4 is causing it to dramatically eat battery life. I don't use and haven't used Apple Music so it's not that which is doing it, which I've heard people complain about using battery life. Thursday and Friday I hit less than 20% easily without using it much and that is a rarity that only usually happens when I am using it for most of the day. I'm really disappointed with this update. I was happy with the initial iOS 8.0-8.3 updates as they didn't seem to affect performance or battery life anywhere near as bad as the previous updates that were 2 years after the models came out. I was holding off buying an iPhone 6 to wait for the iPhone 6s.How is 8.4 on the iPhone 5?

If you can, I would suggest updating to 8.3 and leaving it there unless they put out an update to fix the battery drain issue.
that is disappointing. Maybe ill stay on 7 and deal with the app crashes....
how was 8.3? Any noticeable lag issues?
can't wait for the 6s. I've been clinging on to the 5 as well - was a solid workhorse until now.
Did you try a power cycle? That usually fixes the app crashes.How is 8.4 on the iPhone 5? I've been running 7.1.2 and lately have been encountering apps crashing left and right - especially safari. never had issues like that before.

Tried the soft reset (hold power and home button) about ten times...it's mainly safari acting up. Funny enough macrumors usually crashes it.
Ok, really strange. That usually fixed my iPad Air...
I have a 2014 rMBP I bought for the continuity/handoff features and i haven't even had the opportunity to really use them with ios7. I'm going to do a clean install tonight and see how it goes.
Cherryghost, has the update resolved the (safari) crashes for you? I've been having the same issues with my iPhone 5 on 7.1.2
