iOS 8.1, 8.2 And 8.3 Development Already Underway

Ben Reid·September 30, 2014

Ordinarily, Apple releases a major enhancement to its mobile software in September, with a further, '.1' update arriving early on in the following year. However, iOS 8's schedule of updates will see the Cupertino pushing out the changes much more aggressively, with three major new releases set to arrive before iOS 9. Not only has iOS 8 brought so much to the table already, but there's still a great deal to come, and so along with the customary iOS 8.1 update, expect to see iOS 8.2 and a further iOS 8.3 as Apple seeks to roll out and establish the likes of Health / HomeKit, CarPlay, Apple Pay and several other potential game-changers.

Famous Movie Quotes Completed Using iOS 8 Predictive Keyboard

Ben Reid·September 29, 2014

As well as opening up the keyboard aspect of its mobile software to third parties, Apple's iOS 8 has also treated the stock offering to a much-needed overhaul. The autocorrect-befuddled experience that users had begrudgingly grown accustomed to was certainly below the standards being set on Google's Android, but as well as introducing some SwiftKey-like features to the iOS 8 typing repertoire, Apple has also brought a more substantial predictive text to the fore. Not only will it correct your sentences within the context of what you've written before - unlike Auto-correct for the most part - but it'll also have a pretty good pop at guessing the next word in your sequence. One cartoonist thought it would be interesting / entertaining to see whether iOS 8's new keyboard could pick up on famous movie quotes using predictive text, and while it didn't exactly come up trumps, it did produce some quite hilarious alternatives.

Oliver Haslam·September 29, 2014

Apple's release of iOS 8.0.2 brought with it not just the rather important fixes for some rather massive bugs, but also finally brought the world of third-party apps in line with the new HealthKit framework originally touted for iOS 8. After pulling support for apps that tied into Health from the final release of the latest big release of its mobile OS, Apple has now re-instated it while pushing a handful of app updates that mean users can now take advantage of the company's attempt to put all our health and fitness data into one place.

Apple Has Stopped Signing iOS 7.1.2; Downgrading No Longer Possible

Paul Morris·September 27, 2014

The eventual - and successful - release of iOS 8.0.2 has not only saved Apple from further iOS related embarrassment, but it's also acted as a catalyst for another internal decision. Hours after successfully pushing out the latest version of iOS, which introduces a number of new features as well as fixing some serious bugs that were accidentally introduced with 8.0.1, Apple has also stopped digitally signing the iOS 7.1.2 firmware, making it impossible for users to downgrade from iOS 8.

Poll: Did iOS 8.0.2 Fix Your iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus Woes?

Aatif·September 27, 2014

iOS 8, which saw the light of day merely 10 days back, held so much promise for users in terms of new features and apps. Yet, the public release of the new iPhone and iPad software was plagued by bugs and issues all over. To that end, Apple had to push out iOS 8.0.1 in less than a week to fix some of the major challenges and bugs in the new software. However, iOS 8.0.1 turned out to be a tragic story of its own; the "fixed" update broke more than what it had patched. For most iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users, the update ended up breaking cellular service and Touch ID, effectively making their shiny new iPhones a smaller version of the iPad mini (with a beefed up hardware). Thus came iOS 8.0.2.

Apple Manager That Oversaw iOS 6 Maps Also Responsible For iOS 8.0.1 Mess

Ben Reid·September 26, 2014

Apple's iOS 8.0.1, for those that missed it, was a marked disaster, and a major blemish in what has otherwise been a fairly smooth launch of the company's new mobile software. Having rolled out a couple of days ago, it featured major flaws that saw iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners left with No Service and a non-functioning Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and in all honesty, Apple hadn't made such a blunder since the iOS 6 Maps debacle. Back in 2012 when Maps first appeared, the scapegoating seem to begin, and end, with then-iOS SVP Scott Forstall, who was swiftly ejected from the executive team and Apple in general, but incidentally, it has now been revealed that a member of the quality control team amid the Apple Maps scandal may also have been partially responsible for the blundered iOS 8.0.1 launch.

Apple Confirms iOS 8.0.2 Update, Urges iPhone 6 / 6 Plus Users To Downgrade To 8.0

Ben Reid·September 25, 2014

Yesterday, Apple rolled out its very first mobile software update since iOS 8 first appeared a couple of weeks back. Therein, we were told, lied a number of fixes to early issues that had plagued some users, but unfortunately, iOS 8.0.1 did more harm than good. Many iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners were left with no cellular service whatsoever as well as a non-functioning Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and given the critical nature of these two features, Apple quickly decided to pull the update altogether. We already showed you how you could downgrade your firmware back to iOS 8.0 to regain service and use of Touch ID, and since, Apple has also advised users to do likewise.
