Anyone knows how iOS 8 is working on iPhone 5 and iPad Mini Retina?

How beta version is working on iPhone 4s? Any one?

Terribly bad.. had to get back to iOS 7.. tons of lag, crashing, for example navigations for car was crashing instantly after selecting route.. even music player lags.. lets just hope they will optimize it in the final beta.

@GlennH do you see any difference?

Only a few tweaks, and that handoff stopped working making phone calls from my MacBook Pro and iPad Air

Any news about Whatsapp working ?

How many times does it have to be said, this is a whatsapp problem! It won't be fixed until the final release when Whatsapp is updated.
