What are the changes? I notice keyboard more similar to android now, camera with self timer, safari similar to android too... What else huh? I thought can make call from iPad, I mean like a mobile phone with number pad

Making a call from iPad will never happen, it has never been in Apple's plan to allow their tablets to make phone calls, although you can still use Facetime, Skype, etc.

I saw a new app called "Tips", it highlights what are some of the new stuffs you can do with iOS 8.

Just updated my iPad mini with RD this morning and yet to fool around with it to see how is the performance after updating, but as far as smoothness is concern, everything is fine and dandy, no lags or anything of that sort.

As per previous iOS updates, iPhone users will feel more of the difference than iPad users. I think the only features of iOS 8 that excites me is Handoff and Family Sharing, as of now Handoff is still unavailable, and I've yet to set up the family sharing part... will update once I've done so over the weekend.

this is what i can found in my ipad mini retina after update to iOS8.
- Camera new features - Time-Lapse , Timer (Front & Rear Camera)
- Photo App - No more Camera Roll has been changed to Recently add, but cool thing is u able to categorize your photo to Favorite, and after deleted in recently apps it will moved to '' Deleted album''.
- Of cause, new wallpaper in Setting apps.
- Now you can add widget in Notification center and customize it.
- Appstore redesigned.
- Support 3rd party keyboard (You can download in Appstore)
- New interface on Control center. (Uglyyyy)
- Able to check Battery usage in setting.
- iCloud Drive added.
- Double tap it will have recents contact icon above.
- Tips apps - Get familiar with iOS8 (Cannot be delete)
- iMessage - Record voice and video directly in Apps.
- Mail apps with more shortcut key.
- Handoff (Not available yet)
- Family Sharing feature

Swiping doesn't seem to work with Swype on iPad mini retina.

if wan call go buy samseng tab la ....

Recommended to download 'Wdgts'' apps in Appstore for FREE.

You can customize below things to Notification Center.
- Photo frame
- Calculator
- Calendar
- Convert Currency
- Other country time-zone

Safari gets into full screen - I mean quite easily- just a swipe upwards?

just updated to iOS8 ipad mini retina, still not yet try those new features though..

Had been using Whatsapp on ipad mini retina without jail-breaking (using the techniques available on net. However, i cant use it anymore after upgrading to ios8. Tried uninstalling and doing it all over again, but still cant use. Anyone able to help?
Thanks.

whatsapp on ipad mini? r u serious? link pls

For me ios 8 was not very wow... Most of the features update r copying from android, like safari full screen, keyboard word recommend, camera self timer...
I update mine on iPad 3, speed wise still good, but seems like a little lagging on fb apps...
iOS 8 shld Hv done more... During Steve job time, Apple launching any products will surprise people.. But not now... Shan't call this as ios8, shld have call ios 7.2, not much changes...
Heard that ios 8 drain battery faster.. But I still haven't test it... Any one of u have such problem?

I havent update yet.. Should i do it now or wait.. I heard here and there that they are quite an issue with ios8

Yo! updated my old Ipad 2 to IOS 8 within an hour just now.

No much diff, browsing smooth than before, coz i deleted lots of unwanted photos

Not dare to do it for my iPad mini...I believe with low ram, 512mb, don think it can handle iOS 8 well...I think it's time to upgrade my iPad mini once 3rd generation launch....feel a bit lag d.


I din upgrade my iPad air to iOS 8 as well, since it doesn't much changes,...

Most people thinks that iOS 8 brings design changes but it's more to added functionality. Just think of it as if you are getting a new engine and interior to an existing car. From a design point, it wouldn't be a good move to change design again from iOS 7 to iOS 8 when they already had an overhaul last year.

Anyone with ipad 4 upgraded to ios8 yet? how is the experience? any lag so far?
