iOS 8 Download Links For iPhone, iPad, iPod touch Released [Direct Links]

Apple has finally flipped the switch. You can now download iOS 8 from the links given below. The immediate availability of iOS 8 means that users with compatible devices can start to process over-the-air updates to their iPhone or iPad to get started with the latest iteration of iOS. Alternatively, the live download links are also available for anyone who prefers to manually craft a full back-up of the device before restoring to the latest, and supposedly greatest, version of iOS.

It will be comforting to a lot of users to learn that the introduction of iOS 8 doesn’t come with the same user-interface and functionality wholesale changes that were introduced with iOS 7 twelve months ago. The unveiling of iOS 7 was described as having an opportunity to witness "the mobile OS from a whole new perspective". Thankfully, iOS 8 continues on that route and doesn’t force users to gain a new perspective on the software. However, what it does do is apply additional polish to what’s already been on our devices for the last year, as well as introduce a heap of new features and functionality that makes using an iOS device even better.

The power of iOS 8 perhaps lies in what the general public can’t see. As part of the refresh Apple has introduced a number of powerful frameworks and developer facing tools that will allow for the creation of a new breed of innovative and powerful applications. The average iPhone, iPad or iPod touch user may not get to interact with those tools and frameworks first-hand, but will undoubtedly feel the benefit when apps using Notification Center widgets or new keyboard layouts start to land in the App Store in the coming hours, days and weeks.
