Ask Slashdot: Is iOS 8 a Pig?

Posted by timothy on Sunday September 21, 2014 @05:48AM from the not-intended-to-denigrate-pigs dept.

kyjellyfish writes I've been using iOS 8 for several days and aside from a few gimmicks and add-ons that attempt to achieve parity with Android, my experience has been overwhelmingly unsatisfactory. My chief complaint is that the vast majority of my apps are slow to boot and noticeably sluggish in operation. I want to point out that all of these apps have been "upgraded" specifically for iOS 8 compatibility. Previous operating system upgrades have been relatively seamless, so I'm asking whether other slashdotters have experienced this degraded performance.

Another one reporting for duty, infidel scum.
iOS8 on my Mac Mini Retina: no difference in the speed with which apps load and handle. I also have an iPhone 4S, but we have been advised not to load it onto iPhones earlier than the 5 because the hardware would not support all its features. That may be GP's problem.
