Hello all! What a most exciting time to be an Apple fan, no?! As you all know by now, iOS 8 has been revealed today boasting features that iOS users have been waiting a long time for! As it so happens around this time of year, consumers are intrigued by the "new" in the tech world and are eager to get their hands on it as well! Users will be storming our forums and others for tips, advice, help, and more.

I just want to say that despite your eagerness oh impatient consumer, it is recommended that you WAIT until the FULL and STABLE versions of iOS 8 are released to the public before applying it to your device. Beta testing is meant for developers and developers only, to accurately report bugs and potential problems to Apple so they can be resolved; this is a very serious matter! It is not a popularity contest to get iOS 8 first. Attempting to load this beta stage software as a non developer will surely provoke an unwanted malfunction! If something goes wrong, the usability of your device may be obliterated!

So stick it out with iOS 6, or 7 for a little bit longer! Trust me the end product that is iOS 8 will be much, much better than it's beta stages!
