John,
I confess that I really haven't done a lot with bluetooth on my I O S
devices, aside from using bluetooth headsets such as my Aftershokz Bluez.
Can you please explain a bit further your findings regarding bluetooth? I
don't doubt you in the least, I just haven't personally found any myself.
I'd be interested though in your observations more specifically.
Chris.

It was certainly broken when 8.0 was initially released for sure. As they
have updated the software, there have been bug fixes. There are still
Bluetooth keyboard problems and a few strange navigation issues still
present. However, my understanding is that 8.3 has specific VoiceOver bug
fixes in it.

Whatever people. I'm telling you that Apple did break it, yes, but that
is the key word... Did!
Things work very well now, and if you don't believe me, tell me what you
had an issue with, and I'll make an audio demo showing it's been fixed.
Maybe then, you'll believe me.

I too have an Ipad 2. No way would I put IOS 8 on it. I am a firm
believer in if it isn't broken don't fix it. Apple broke it.

I still haven't upgraded to iOs 8 on my iPad 2. I'm still running iOs 7.
I found a handwriting recognition app that needs iOs 8 to install. Should
I update, or can I expect slower operation?

Hi all,
I don’t know about yall, but I have an iphone 6 with IOS 8 and I have to
say that the experience is less than stellar. Bugs everywhere, slower
than on my iphone 5s, siri cut off midway then voice over not working,
hang like slowness when getting out of an app. I have to say that I have
started looking for alternatives as I feel like apple is trying to nudge
things too much into the “let big brother figure out for you what you
should like and do”. Point in case, that U2 debacle. Last weekend I was
camping with some mates and I was going through some tracks after lunch,
and those damn U2 tracks kept popping up like annoying ads. Really don’t
want some band pushing their crap on my life experience when I shelled
out 1200 dollars for a phone that is supposed to do things for me. Not
the other way around. Sure, U2 has some great songs. But their current 50’s
midlife crisis moans aren’t my style, nor inspire me. I can listen to
that when I go into an apple store and wait for a genius to tell me my
future.
Seriously folks, I’m not just going off on a rant, and for those of you
who want to reply by being defensive for apple, just remember a few basic
things:
1-You are customer. Customer is king, you are not serving apple. Apple
makes money off you, take 30 percent of the cut on your music production
or app developement with their platform. They serve you. Not the other
way around.
2-Apple is not god almighty. Apple has great people that collectively
create experiences. At the helm, a few individuals decide on the
direction of that experience. Personally, I don’t trust Tim Cook that
much in giving us a good experience. That Johnny Ive sounds like a
pompous marketing guy with design skills I cannot trust as head of human
interface, a software division, coming from someone who used to make
toilet seats. The only one or ones I can trust in this are frederici and
some of the younger engineers presented at the last apple showcase. but
they don’t have enough say yet, so we’re stuck with all that flash
graphical transition animation style crap instead of truly clean,
efficient and snappy interfaces.
3-There are other choices out there, but I have no idea what. Sometimes I
wish I was sighted again so that I can really be part of the process of
creating real interfaces for everyone. It’s frustrating to know that most
companies follow what is standard and forget that standards are meant to
be broken and updated. Not broken at the cost of the buyer, no. If it’s
broken, it should be free, such as what google offers. Buying a 3000
dollar piece of hardware to get clunky experiences and moments where you
want to throw that damn thing out the window and never touch it again is
clearly not what I call good experience on a computer. More and more of
my friends, mac users, both sighted and visually impaired, agree with me
that apple is starting to rot in terms of presenting it’s image. It’s not
an underdog but a huge bulky oil tanker that can now only manuver slowly
with a battalion of lawyers behind murmuring at the chief’s ears, the
latter being probably more complacent than should be, thus giving us this
weird awkward show each year now with a barely straight talking TIm Cook
who sounds like he never had a girl friend chill time or something seems
amiss in him. Some soul? Something. Whatever the case, I don’t really dig
the style apple is portraying. It’s becoming a disney world presentation
with oooohs and aaahs when the tech behind is quite literally lagging. No
visionary stuff, when this qualification should by now, from all the sci
fi, the research and the graduations of bright people, should lead us
much farther in terms of actual interaction with a computer, and let’s
not forget screen readers.
Anyway, off for my morning coffee. Have a great day yall
