Just noticed that the iPad 3 isn't listed on the dev portal..

It wasn't the list of supported devices during the presentation either. I'm wondering if that's because they EOL'd it when the iPad w/retina (or should I say the one with the lightning connector) was released.

Actually it's there, I was looking for iPad 3 since I saw iPad 4

I was pretty impressed. TouchID for thirdparty apps made me very happy, and I hope to see more allowance of third-party in place of stock for apps and not just keyboard.

Maybe not in this iteration but the seed for doing exactly that has now been planted.

That's good to know. I have an iPad 3 & I'd be more willing to put the beta on that versus my rMini.

[RavenSword]

Me too! Was about to get a nexus 7. Or a S5. Now I'm gonna wait till the 6 comes out!


On my 5 tapatalkin'

It's kinda eerie, really. I mean, I was planning to get a S5 or M8 this week, ha ha

I'm glad they finally added those features that have been in android for years. Not so keen on them trying to bash android every 2 seconds in the presentation, only to turn around a minute later and unveil a "feature" that has been lacking on IOS for years, while being on android.

[warcraftWidow]

It's pretty funny, I was all set to pick up a android phone in the next week or so because of how constrained iOS felt and that it was behind android.

Now I'm not going to

Ehhhh, you'll change your mind in another day or so.

As long as the phone and messages app works on an iOS beta I'm good

Guys, if it supports iPad 2, then of course it supports all later iPads. But I think there'll be limitations in some features in older devices, as always.

And of course, add me to the blown away list, I think this is the iOS presentation in which they have released more features at once, and AirDrop will finally work as it should!!!

I agree with the others here. As huge as iOS 7 was, iOS 8 seems even more of an advance with the multitude of features. If Apple does open up the beta to non-debs (like they did with OSX), I'm in. Otherwise, I'll live vicariously through those that have access. :-)

As soon as this comes out I am seriously going to contemplate updating everything. My last hold outs are the RdMini 4s and 5s. As someone who has been using these things since the start there has never been a better time to upgrade my OS.

Yea, Apple gave us most of our wishes in one wop. I'm extremely content and cant wait to get iOS 8 and OSX Yosimite on devices. I'm just hoping my 4 year old MacBook Pro gets all the features of Yosimite. I'm thinking some of those will require BlueTooth 4.0 which I dont have.......well...... time for an upgrade

Ha ha , maybe. But I don't think so.

Good man.

Overall I am happy with the additions mentioned today. But I did leave the presentation feeling more of a "finally" than I did a "wow, that is a first". I didn't find much if anything in terms of software that was ground breaking. It seemed like a lot of nice additions that other platforms have enjoyed for a long time...and we are now finally getting them.

Was anyone else surprised by the mention of being used by 98% of Fortune 500 companies? As far as I'm aware Windows is still alive and well in the business world so I was caught off guard when I heard this.

Ok that makes sense, thanks.

Mobile devices are an "entry drug" for Apple addiction... corporate IT departments are very set in their ways, and once they get a taste of how easy iPads and iPhones are to support - they're more inclined to try Macs...

Widgets can be added to Notification Centre once the app devs use the new APIs.

THIRD PARTY KEYBOARDS added! Craig showed a demo of Swype on iOS.

He showed a screenshot, not an actual working demo. There is a difference.
