iOS 8 Megathread

[ShadowsfeaR]

Seems that this update is essentially "Hey 3rd party, welcome to the party!" and I'm kind of excited. New TouchID compliant apps, which should be awesome.

iOS needs to work on being supported for computer applications rather than just Objective-C

Even if its for phones, basic applications like Notepad++ or Bandicam should work depending on the phone/pad specs and if the program supports i-Operating System.

uh what
first of all that's ridiculous. and second, why just iOS??

[Ducky duck]

why just iOS??

Because this was an iOS thread?

I find phone apps to get very boring fast depending on how long you play it, being able to use programs like Adobe Flash, Bandicam, or Notepad++ without a stupid Objective-C version that looks crappy would be awesome.

Phone do not work the same way as say a normal computer with windows 8 does. Most all modern phones use an ARM processer, while your PC uses a 32 or 64 bit arch processor. You can't magically slap a program into an iphone and get it to work. There are many many different API calls, and things such as how the program is compiled. Now, sure, someone could remake those applications with elements from the original, but they are not the same application that you can just magically open on your phone.

However, it is possible to emulate a 32 bit program in ARM, but its never efficient, and they are very limited.

the most annoying thing i found with it is i would get a skype notification and it would just chill at the top of my screen until i clicked it and i wouldnt be able to make it go away without clicking it or my phone would freeze :|

Well I mean, iPhone 5S and above use 64bit so...

It wasn't meant to be a graphics overhaul, you should just read the patchnotes maybe.

The only problem I have with custom keyboards is that it blocks the message box on the Twitch app.

this new Safari is terrible
they moved the bookmarks to the left in ios 7 and moved it back, now I have to get used to this again, plus it minimises the search bar at the top so I have to press it to bring it back up and then press it again to go back
this is dumb

Time-lapse of the sunset using the new camera feature. Came out pretty crappy, but it's very simple.
