Re: ios 8 on ipad mini

I updated to iOS 8 but I don't see any changes. Can anyone tell me what you can see as far as how iOS 8 works on original iPad?

Re: ios 8 on ipad mini

My wife has a Mini (non-retina) and has not complained about anything so far in iOS 8. I used it briefly after the update and it seemed on par with iOS 7. I can't say if battery life is better or not.

I updated my original iPad mini to iOS 8. Battery seems to be about the same as before. I have noticed that a few apps seem to take a bit longer to load, but other than that, no problems.

Re: ios 8 on ipad mini

I updated my iPad mini to iOS 8.0.2 everything going well. Battery improved . Only one app to take a bit longer to load. Really happy with my Ipad mini and IPhone 4 S, waiting a couple months to buy iPhone unlocked from Verizon.

Re: ios 8 on ipad mini

I would suggest not to update iPad mini (1st gen) with iOS 8. I am regretting my decision :(

It's slow and laggy!

Mine was okay at first but has gotten considerably slower as the days have gone on. That, and it feels slower because my 6 Plus is so zippy. Poor old Mini. I can't bring myself to get rid of it, though.

Keep us posted as I am considering updating my original mini to be able to use the GoPro app which requires 7.1 or higher.

Perhaps it was just a learning curve for the Mini. Not sure. iOS 8 still isn't what I'd call "zippy" but it is better than it was at first. The Facebook app is the slowest thing right now.

Ah, ok. That explains a lot. I haven't had/used Facebook in over 2 years.
