this. for me a new BIG number should hint for alot of changes to the system. if its only add-on features to the existing iOS, its best juz to continue the current number.

else, we will reach iOS 10 in the next 2 years but not much changes. apple need to optimize the iOS more for battery efficiency or come up with larger battery capacity for the next phone.

this aside, i'm more interested in the 'Metal' API for dev later this week.

for this, i think it should suit the DEV more. as the metal API is indeed the biggest update in iOS.
for consumer atm, nth much compare to ios 6 jump to ios 7.

seems like i'm out of this. but mind to enlighten me the different between GSM and GSM+CDMA?
previously is GSM and CDMA only. hence that combine/joined is new to me

lol. bro, go read what is this update is really about. its still early until more dev adopt it and update/release their apps for this ios 8.
the Metal API is already a WOW factor in a way.
ignore the few item on top part, the rest should be good.

and how long does it take to wow us from ios 4 until ios 7? On the 4th year?
ah. as i know GSM is ROW and CDMA is for Japan/US Verizon (US got 2 carrier which use different - GSM & CDMA)
thxs for the explanation on the new terms

any1 using Equalizer and which app you use for it?
honestly i found the stock music EQ is very plain.....

plain for me as it treble too high, bass is very soft.
hence, i'm finding some EQ 3rd party apps or music player.
any recommendation?

on 8.3 and using swiftkey as well. no problem on the apps you stated.

on the Stock Keyboard, this is what i do - Delete Stock Keyboard, hence, it remain Swiftkey KB as for most default (some key-in pin still remain stock kb).
if not, the stock kb will always (mostly) open up 1st instead of swiftkey. (nub iOS).

glad to hear that. i need swiftkey as my main kb as typing on it mostly came out error due to ip5s is quite small and not quite used to it after migrate back from note 2.
