i have no idea what's the fuss about don't update your iPhone 4s to iOS 8 coz it will have serious lag issue etc~

i'm using an iPhone 4s and I've updated it to iOS 8 for 2 days already and I've yet to feel the lag that people are talking about~

The first thing i noticed on my 4s is that the battery life improved a lot compared to iOS 7.1.2 and i'm not sure why.

i did not do a clean install, i updated it to iOS 8 OTA so it should means that iOS 8 does improved the battery life right? =)

Regarding the apps crashing now and then, yes i sometimes do face this issue where my app suddenly crashes. But only those app that haven't been updated to be compatible with iOS 8 will crash. My Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LINE, 9GAG, Youtube, VSCOCam, Camera+, Waze, Spotify, Mail and Safari haven't crash yet since I've updated. These are the only apps i'm using on my iPhone most of the time as i don't play games.

Performance wise, i did not feel any lag or slow startup of the apps or maybe its still within my acceptance range. I have reduce motion and increase contrast turned on like when on iOS 7.1.2 and i feel that iOS 8 is a bit smoother than iOS 7.1.2. maybe its just me~

just my opinion for those who are still on iPhone 4s and in a dilemma on whether to update to iOS 8 or not. Cheers~ =)

regarding the safari open in new tab you mentioned.

you can change the settings for it to be open in background so that u wouldn't have to switch between tabs every time u open a new tab~

Cheers~ =)
