I have a 4s phone. I recently updated to 7 just last week and it blew out my wifi. Apple support wouldn't help me until I updated to 8. I like 8, seems to run fine but I still don't have wifi. I use photobucket for pictures so i can't help with that issue.

DH has a 4s, updated to 8 and his phone is fine

I updated to 8 on my 4s and it was fine.

OP, I had the same odd feeling and reluctance as you (ipad2)! In addition to the photo posting problems, I'm also hearing about browser problems, game-playing and speed issues, wi-fi problems... and something about Apple scrambling to release a 'fix' to the new problems they've introduced. :p

I usually wait about 6 months to update :)

Thanks for your replies so far. I have an ipad mini and a 5s phone. I think I'll wait a little longer to update. A lot of apps have already introduced updates to accommodate v8 so I don't know how some of those will function; probably ok for now. I don't play games, but I do depend on wifi and I do post photos on occasion from the ipad and phone. I sure hate to give up speed as well.

And of course, if you update to 8 you can't go back to 7 so for now I'm staying unless someone convinces me otherwise.

I usually wait it out but for some bizarre reason I updated my Ipad as soon as it was offered.

I am having trouble with it locking up. The keyboard frequently locks and I need to reboot. Sometimes the email is saved in drafts and sometimes it locks up before the first automatic save.

I haven't been able to upload a picture to facebook. I have a great pix that I'm just itching to share and it won't upload. ð©

I googled ios8 problems and many mention wifi issues but I can't say I notice that. I don't play games or watch shows so I haven't noticed speed problems.

I am not tech savvy so I'm not sure what might be operator error versus update quirks. I never had photo to Facebook problems before so I'm blaming that on 8.

I was admiring the iPhone 6 of a complete stranger (I think she said it was 6x?) and she told me some people have ios8 issues because they don't have enough space. Does this make sense to any techies? So based on the advice of a complete stranger on the bus home from NYC, I've been cleaning up my email accounts. Does this free up space? I dunno but it was long overdue.

In summary, I wish I had waited so they could fix any issues on their end.

Errant, maybe this isn't what you want re. Posting ics here. I don't have photo
Bucket, so I simply write my post or reply, then click on "choose file " at the top here, and go to my ipad photos, pick one and it appears in box. You then see it in preview. Sorry if you wanted other info....I am so not a techie

I just saw this headline

Apple Pulls iOS Software Update
Apple Says Investigating Reports Of Problems with Update

Thanks, Mtn! Glad you saw that.

I will just add I have a iPhone 5 and I updated it yesterday and it's working just fine. I have not had time to update the iPad yet, and my husband hasn't updated his 5c yet either, but I've had no issues on my phone.

Apple pulled 8.0.1.

They did not pull 8.0.

I also wait awhile to update so Apple can get the bugs out.

I just downloaded 8.0 late yesterday...I wish I had read of some of the issues beforehand. I was so far behind in updates on iPad...didn't think they would jump to 8.0. It seems to hang a lot on my wifi - like it's trying to catch up. I'm disappointed at QA since jobs passed...becoming another Microsoft os without as much hacking...yet. I don't see any way to rollback to a previous release. Bummer.

Nope - I always let someone else suffer through the early bugs and I wait until they come out with the updated version with the fixes.

I downloaded the update last night on my ipad mini, less than 6 months old, many interenet sites crashing. Wish I hadn't done it until the bugs were fixed. Worst update in my apple experience. Lots of apps and sites weren't ready for it.

I'm sooooo glad I'm listening to all of you!! I'm still sticking with my current version for now. It's working just fine and we're about to go on vacation, so I don't want to be stuck with an inoperable mini. It does seem to be a bit haphazard that some are having problems and some aren't. My mini is almost 2 years old.

Kswl, I notice on a lot of the app updates, some say they are 8.0-ready and some haven't been made ready for update at all.

I'm also one to wait. My business depends on smooth running software so I never jump on the wagon until the wheels have fallen off a couple of times!

And why did I not think to check that out, outsideplaying...... I am getting techno lazy!

I spent yesterday afternoon at the Apple Store, sitting at the table for people with no appointments and interviewed them while I waited for my turn, this after spending five hours off and on Sunday talking to Apple Alleged Support Guy on phone, after IOS 8.0 crashed my iPad2 , rendering it a new form of frisbee. Upshot--my iPad is fine, problem is with my WiFi. Nevermind that my computer (not 8), DH's PC computers, and our iPhones (not updated) are working fine with WiFi. I noticed that everyone there with iPhones said Apple Tech on phone had been useless and their phones had turned into expensive bricks, and we were all treated like our problems were unique and fascinating. Galling. Apple has blown it.

Updated my iPad Air to the new version yesterday morning. I did have one incident of the keyboard going dead, rebooted and all is well since.

Annoying pop-up asking me to sign-in to my iCloud itunes that comes up each time I go online. I don't do iTunes, so I just cancel it each.and.every.time.

I had problems posting pics, screen freezing, slow speed, etc after updating to 8.0. I updated to 8.0.2 yesterday & all is back to normal (as far as I know). I usually don't update for a couple of weeks/months. Lesson learned.
