Hello,
you can close the people section in the app switcher. To do this:
go to settings>mail, contacts, calendars. there's a section that says
"show in app switcher" changing these options to off will take that
section away.
I've not read whether this increases battery life.

I plan on upgrading too as well, and not necessarily because I want to, but
unfortunately because Sprint requires it in order to get their $50 unlimitted

will save me some money in the longrun, but would be willing to settle for a 5s
if need-be, considering the fact that sense upgrading to ios8, my 4s is now
running a bit slower than it used to, which can be frustrating at times.. I
love the features it has though, but am still having to play around with it
though, but it seems to have more spoken feedback, which I like.
Something I'm confused about though, does this "people," feature that always
runs in the background consume your battery life, sense it runs in your app switcher and
there's no way to close it?

Hi,
Please do not take my letter as bashing the OS for being an improvement on
whatever Apple has had. It merely does not make sense to me no matter whether
it's Apple or android that whatever equipment they claim is supported within an
update cannot accept the entire update. I read the release notes. I took a
chance. I am not complaining about what I did or didn't do. Apple along with
any other manufacturer has a degree of planned obsolescence with any of their
equipment. If within their beta testing and developer reviews, it would seem to
me it would be more fair to the customer to disallow the update rather than
give someone who is running an older device a half-baked OS. With all the
trade in programs the carriers offer, there may be people who get used
equipment at a discounted rate or for free who have never had experience with
the apple ecosystem. That equipment may run the latest software, yet cannot
make use of whatever features one may need.
I remember when Siri came out on the iPhone for S. At the time, the iPad 2 had
a similar processor. Yet it was claimed not to have had as good a microphone,
and therefore could not have Siri. During the cycle of that equipment, we as
Apple consumers were half promised we would get Siri in an iPad update. It
never happened. Yep, there were and still are apps on the web that will serve
the same purpose. Unless Apple has gotten really sloppy, they surely keep track
of what apps are in and out of there App Store. In so doing, they know what
people can use for what tasks. It's a good OS. I only wish they would be a
little more truthful with their consumers, especially given all of the changes
that are made each year to their various equipment. As I said earlier, I would
rather know upfront whether or not my equipment would except a given update or
how many future updates it could conceivably except than have a half-baked
product.
With the most recent release of the iPhone six and 6+, you and I both know they
are at work on the next iteration of the OS. I'm going to upgrade. However, it
would almost seem that be at Apple, Samsung, Motorola, etc. would have to tell
a consumer in advance how many future updates that equipment can and will
accept. If that were able to happen, the consumer, who in this economy, has to
be conscious of his/her dollars would know what they were getting and how much
use they would get for their money.
I'll close with a case in point. My 2013 Nexus seven will get android L. My
2012 Lexus will not. I know that find up ahead of time to make a decision
whether or not to replace my equipment.
Thank you ever so much for reading.

How would you be any better off if told your device didn't support the upgrade
at all compared with being able to upgrade but not use all features? At least
some of the features are available and some new features are surely better than
no new features? Anyway, whether or not you upgrade is a choice. You're not
forced to upgrade. I haven't and won't upgrade my 4S because I suspect iOS 8
will run slower on it than iOS 7, and that's more important to me than the new
features. And because of this I'll wait until I buy an iPhone 6 before using
iOS 8. So I think it's a little disingenuous of you to choose to upgrade and
then complain that you get some new features but not all, but then say you'd
prefer to have no new features. Why don't you just read the release notes for
which features are supported on which devices if you don't want to only have
some features but not all?

Hi,
I am becoming very disenchanted with iOS and its fragmentation when they
release an update, the feature list should work on all supported devices.
I understand the need for progress along with the fast pace movement of
technology in this day and age. Apple's products are high-end at a premium
price. Not everyone who uses their products is named Rockefeller. I would
rather be told my phone cannot except the update than half the features work
Half -assed.
. In my opinion, they are being very disingenuous to those of us who have come
to truly depend on them for accessibility purposes. No, I do not expect to be
handed a phone or tablet for free. However I do expect the devices I currently
own that are supposed to support the update to fully support it. Shame on Apple!
