    Hey guys, i usually don't run beta releases on my main devices, but I thought what the heck, I might as well.
    So far it's been a smooth experience, no lag or glitches.
    Anyone in the same boat as me ?

    You have a dev account? I want to run it but I don't know if it might brick my phone?

    Yup. I'm rocking the new iOS on my iPhone 5S. I'm loving it so far. I love the predictive text on it and the quick reply. As well as the time lapse feature on the camera.

    I was considering it but decides against it, I think it would ruin the experience if the software is glitchy etc

    I tried it but way to buggy. A lot of apps and games crashed. I just went back to 7.1.1 for now until a more stable release comes out.

    I was going to but most of the features I want to try out to see how they are would require apps to be updated to support those features so I'll be waiting for the GM. But I did get the default iOS 8 wallpaper so I can get use to it.

    I got it & I'm pretty content with it! Had one restring today but that's it. It's pretty good for beta 1.

    There doesn't seem to be as many people experiencing constant issues with the new iOS unlike in the past

    I've had my first crash today when I was Launching settings. But it's expected. Other than that I'm happy.

    Two programs I use for work will not open (both non native) and the mail app isn't functioning. I've yet to find a solution for these issues. Everything else is great though.

    I haven't had too much of an issue. I am excited when third party keyboards like Swype and Swiftkey make it to the iPhone. The new predictive text is pretty need but it does take some getting used to. I have had several random crashes and reboots but that is to be completely expected.

    I installed it right after the keynote and I must say Apple did a good job with this OS. I don't experience any major issues yet

    It depends on which I device u use I suppose. On my iPhone 5s A1457, only Settings app is real buggy and Tapatalk Pro gets crazy when u use it a lot and Facebook video doesn't play in the app. But for normal use, there is not much to complain about. I've had several phone calls and FaceTime calls today and no issues at all.

    It all comes down to using DFU mode when installing the beta. Those who didn't are complaining the worst

    I killed him instantly when I heard his younger brother was announced. iOS 7 is history for me.
