    Well i hope this fixes the wifi issues we are all having I’m still surprised 9-5 hasn’t brought this up tbh. Also the native keyboard freezes when texting in landscape. All these issues and a lot more have been brought up to Apple but they seem to be ignoring it :(.

    • Spotlight search stops finding apps and only a two finger reboot brings it back, skipping and pausing during Bluetooth playback, touch id works when it feels like it, Exchange calendar flakes out and wipes your cal, to fix it you have to remove the account and then put it back.

      Lots of little issues since iOS 8.1, not sure what Apple is doing but this is getting bad. It took them 6 months to get iOS 7 working well and now iOS 8 seems to be on that same track. At this point I’ve started to get really annoyed with there lack of upgrade support.

      Yosemite hasn’t been as bad as Mavericks but they are moving way to slow in that arena as well. It shouldn’t take 2 months to fix issues that massive amounts of people are reporting on. Head over to Apple’s radar board and you will see there are tons of open issues with 1000s of people reporting on, not just a few.

    So are we to say that this IOS release will support an Apple Watch release?

    If so, given the timing of previous iOS beta releases (in roughly 6 stages), a late January or February release date would be on the cards?

    So what are the new features in this version?

    does this fix the lack of service I have just about everywhere on my iphone 6 or has that been determined to be a hardware issue?

    Anyone know if this fixes the Health app’s failure to display data after 12-24 hours of use? A phone reboot fixes the issue, so my 6+ gets one or two reboots per day.

    Would like to see a fix on the home screen while locked when receiving an email that you can actually delete instead of unlocking the phone and then go to email and delete it. There are a couple of other bugs I am finding on my new iPhone 6.
