I didn't get the SMS relay pop-up until I actually sent an SMS message from my phone. That seems to trigger it.

Will the 6+ home screen landscape orientation come over to the Air and/or rMini in iOS8? Cause it should.

Sorry, I guess I meant how the dock stayed on the particular side and all the home screen icons rotated rather having everything shift over with the dock always following the bottom edge. It just seems neater that way for some reason. I don't know maybe I'm just thinking that because it's new.

I was given a free iPad Air by my university. Problem is I already bought an Android tablet (which I prefer) before I knew I'd be getting the iPad. What's something cool I can do with the iPad? I'd rather not sell it as I'm not sure if I'll have to use it at school.

So I've read in a few places that installing iOS8 will lock my Mac out of iCloud until the next OS upgrade hits. Is this really a thing? I'm a grad student and I keep all of my research, teaching materials, etc on iCloud so this is a huge pain if true.

If that's the first one with retina display (and old port) then it's fine. There really isn't that much change in the OS so everything still works. Big apps are still horrible poo poo to use.

I'm glad they're still supporting it but was a bit paranoid of a iPhone-4-on-iOS-7 situation.

iOS 8 seems blazing fast on my 5S for the record, it seems pretty optimized. Will it be offered OTA for the above mentioned 3rd gen iPads?

Before anyone gets excited, Swiftkey doesn't allow you to swipe type on iPad yet. Just iPhone and iPod Touch.

THis might be a VERY stupid question. I just installed iOS 8 on my iPad mini and said yes to upgrading to iCloud Drive. Does that cost anything?

The only thing it costs you is compatibility with pre-Yosemite (and probably 10.9.5) OS X machines. Pricewise, there is no cost unless you choose to buy extra disk space.

Making/Receiving calls on my iPad is not working. I get a "Call using iPhone failed" message when making a call, and absolutely nothing appears when receiving a call. Both were just updated to iOS 8 and are on the same network.

To be honest, iOS 8 is even a tad choppy on my iPad Air. I imagine it's just something that will be ironed out in the next update.

There'll be an 8.1 update in about a month after Apple's public beta testers scream about the biggest bugs.

8.1? Nah. I would expect 8.0.1 out before the end of this month though, in time to get HealthKit back up and running.

It's a little jittery when going into multitasking but otherwise just the fact that Safari minimizes when scrolling (almost like the iPhone but not quite!) and the predictive typing are worth it. Haven't played with the other features yet. iBooks and podcasts go straight into the "never use" folder. It's no iOS 7 on the iPhone4, that's for sure.

Trip report for iOS 8 on my 3rd gen iPad: so far so good, performance still isn't great but aside from a couple instances isn't noticeably worse than 7.1, and Safari in particular feels smoother than previously. Bummer that Handoff isn't supported, but a 2.5 year old device couldn't be expected to get every single new feature. No reason not to update as far as I can tell.

Is there any way to turn off Safari minimizing the tab bar? Settings didn't have anything that changed it and Googling is drawing a blank. It's basically doubling the number of physical inputs I have to make in my day-to-day browsing experience so it would be really nice to disable.

How they didn't think to make this optional is bizarre.

I immediately regretted installing iOS 8 on my iPad 2. Everything is super choppy and my apps are crashing constantly. The iPad Air 2 can't come soon enough.
