Jonathan, that's really nice of you! I'm super excited to read your book and
find out all about iOS 8! Can't wait for release day!
Thanks,
Ari

Hi Lynn and all. It might be best to withhold your judgment for a bit. I'm
not denying there are some real annoyances with this release, and depending on
how you use your device, they'll be more of a bother to you than they will be
for others. But for me, weighing up the good and bad, I'd still upgrade. There
is just so much to like about iOS 8.
I'm planning on releasing iOS 8 Without the Eye a few hours before the
software goes live so people get a chance to read it. In the email going out
containing the book, there is a summary of the major bugs, consequences, and
possible work-arounds. So those getting the book can hopefully make up their
minds about whether upgrading is right for them by release time.

Wow, what a shame. I was so excited about iOS eight and even getting a new
phone, but with what you are saying, it seems I shouldn't do either, at least
for a while. Thanks so much for the heads up. At least now I won't be in such a
hurry to update or get the new phone.

I'm assuming that my new phone will come with iOS8 installed. If so, I
will hold my other phone and maybe my iPad back until I have worked with it on
the new phone and I will advise a couple of people I help not to update
immediately so that either things will improve or I will know how tohelp them
first. But if I can use the new iOS on my new phone, then I will update my
other devices even if there are some bugs.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."

I think since I still have a 4S for now and won't get out in the rush
for
the new next week that I may for the first time hold off on the
upgrade.
Usually I grab it he first day last year it was four days due to
circumstances beyond my control but sounds like I need to upgrade my
phone
first and that probably won't happen for a few more weeks, I am
eligible
through Verizon, have been for over a month now but...
Then again, who knows, I may go for it anyway but at this moment I am
of the
opinion that I need the newer phone first. Which one, I don't know,
screen
size is of no matter to me but camera stability is, since I have to
use the
phone to identify a lot now.

Are you willing to comment as to whether version 8 is not very usable
with these bugs or not? I'm one of these who wants to install new
things asap regardless of the consequences. However, if it is so buggy
that it's hard to use then I won't. The problems which people
complained about last year didn't bother me to much if that says
anything.

A very positive article, what it unfortunately does not mention is
that
iOS
8 at this time (the Goldmaster or release version) has the most
Voiceover
issues of any release and some of these are not just little things
like
Voiceover saying "Screen Locked" twice which it did for a long time
after
iOS 7 was released.
I have been running the iOS 8 Beta since June and as far as I can
tell
Apple
has listened to hardly any of the feedback and bug reports provided
by
blind
beta testers. There have been 5 Beta versions and now the Goldmaster
and
almost all of the most serious and annoying bugs are still there. I
hope
that they react faster once the public release happens next
Wednesday and
hopefully blind people start flooding Apple Accessibility with
emails and
phone calls about these issues.
I will post a list of the 5 or so bugs which bug me the most and
which I
know other beta testers have reported as soon as the iOS 8 update
comes
out.
Anybody who wants to read about them just look for a post on
Wednesday,
September 17 with subject "The top 5 most annoying bugs in iOS 8 with
Voiceover".
What bothers me is that a few of these issues are not specifically
accessibility related and they don't happen if Voiceover is not
running
but
as soon as Voiceover is on you suddenly are plagued by this and that.
