You won't get lol only in a few months from now, apple only released iOS 8 beta , it lets developers review it and notify her about bugs in the os so it could fix it until the initial release to the public , which will probably happen with the iphone 6 release in few months from now.

Nothing really new, all that features already exist on Cidya or Android, try HTC one M8, it's real good.

Scam8 to be exact. Who needs an unsecured phone when you got one to add your own features, and besides where is the new look, parallax, apps, and new stuff coming the android doesn't even have yet? Oh yeah they're once again just waiting for apple to make so they can try to rush it out first. Remember shealth for example, if mr.sung-dung boy suffered a heart attach, why didn't it help out? Because Apple didn't release it in time to help them? Doesn't matter anyway, either way, samshit will be fcked as usual.

I for one was not impressed with this years WWDC. Sure some of te features they added are nice. But it wasn't anything mind blowing. Guess we will have to wait for the iPhone 6 announcement to see what features they bring to the new phone

Dude, the handoff and the picture fix is amazing, and the way apple somehow improves a7 performance with metal instead of opengles without replacing the product, now these mind blew me.

I must agree with you on that but it's frustrating that to have some funcionalities in the iPhone the only way is with JB....never know WHY the delivery reports NEVER been in the plans of any iOS and it's a function that ALL cellphones had since there is cellphones...

Sliderboy I kind of agree but they can't add everything at once. Can't do too much at once or we'd never have anything to look forward too. Ya you can say they're kind of slow at some things but it takes time to do it right, unlike others do who just rush half assed shit just to be first. Think of all the back end programming it takes just to do what they showed on stage plus what they've added and didn't show. All while trying to make it all secure and run smoothly with everything else in the OS. The new developer stuff they talked about is going to widen up iOS more than anyone has thought. Even though its not really "open" they seem to be relaxing a little when I comes too third party stuff that works with the os. Like the third party keyboards, notification widgets, touch id for third party apps and allowing apps to work together. No one ever thought they'd allow other keyboards besides there own. Give it some time and they'll start allowing more third party stuff. Maybe not exactly like what jailbreaking offers but it's still better than nothing and at least it will be secure.

Ya it wasn't crazy mind blowing but it was good. They can't always do and add everything at once. The new stuff for developers is what's going to open up crazy possibilities for the future of iOS in my opinion. Like I said in my previous comment I think they seem to been relaxing a slight bit when it comes to some customization, like apps working together and having third party stuff integrate and work with the OS. It's been done on the Mac for years, now maybe since they're going the more powerful 64 bit route and adding more security features they'll start opening it up a bit more. Only time will tell. I was also thinking maybe they have some features they're waiting to show off at the new product presentations that will only be able to work on the bigger screened phones or new iPads. Since they'll have more powerful processing with the upgraded 64 bit A8 processors. They've done it before. Like FaceTime on the 4, Siri on the 4S, and some features that only worked on the 5 and 5S when they came out. They may not happen but I was thinking maybe real on screen widgets since they'll have more processing power and on screen space. Unless they wait until next year to get the design and functionality right and then add them in iOS 9. Also running 2 apps side by side, which had been rumored and might only be able to run and look good on a bigger screened iPhones and newer more powerful iPads. Who knows. Like you said we'll have to wait and see. It's only going to get better in my opinion.

So many "improvements" that just a few of us will use...about 10 or 20% of the time when sending iMessage's. I would be really satisfied if iOS 8 add the (simple) function of "delivery reports" when sending (old fashion) SMS's (like the cellphones of the 90's always had) and what it would be REALLY COOL was if iOS 8 was able to have "a thing" like Cydia's "Swipe Selection" in the keyboard...! > Just an iPhone user opinion.

The more features iOS has, the slightly less space you have, that's why cydia is here, we can limit the space we use.
