Apple iOS 8 now available for download
The long wait is over - Apple iOS 8 is now available for download through iTunes or through phone Wifi download. If you wanted to update it through the wifi update, you need to ensure that you have 4.7GB free space. If you have a gazillion of selfie photos, it's time to say bye bye. Backup. You can make more storage available by deleting your duck faces. I am sure that your an app collector - start digging those unused apps. Pretty sure you have also the newest Billboards Top Hits for September, I guess you need to say bye bye to your Frank Sinatra music.
Who can upgrade? If you've got an iPhone 4S, an iPad 2, or a 1st generation iPad Mini though, you should consider staying behind. These are the oldest devices eligible to upgrade to iOS 8, and they could get sluggish. The iPhone 4s, for example, runs up to 50 percent slower at certain tasks, and the older iPads are unlikely to fair much better. It's possible that will improve with further iOS 8 updates! But for now you probably want to wait.
So, what's new?
User Interface.
Updates on skin, theme and that candy-like feel of icons and use of pastel shades.
