I just want iOS8. My friend has been using the beta for a while now and says the new typing features are great.

If you did that a few weeks ago, you're an idiot.

A drop on the kitchen floor over the 4th of July. I didn't want to do it, but no choice really.

150 out of pocket for a 32gb 5S or fix my shit 4S screen for the 3rd time? It wasn't cracked this time though so I couldn't wait it out... it was blue and fucked.

Btw, 32 gig changed my life. I'll never go smaller.


Also, GFY.

Well you will only be able to go bigger with the new phones. They aren't offering a 32gb.

Mine has also been fluctuating, but compared to previous updates, it's not bad at all.

I did mine over wifi already. Went through the whole process, phone restarted, still on 7.1.2. So now I'm almost done updating through iTunes.

Mine is up and running.

I was told by a coworker to not enable iCloud drive yet if you are using a Macbook also. She said wait until Yosemite is released. I don't recall the exact reasoning for this I toned her out mid convo.

Justin - Let me know if you wanna peep this new Moto X before it launches. Been using it for a few weeks now and it's way better than the original Moto X.

Also, been using the Moto 360. Thought wearables in general were stupid, but I really dig it now.

They probably wouldn't have any on display just yet. Displays should start going up late next week.

Any idea when the phone will be available on other carriers?

Not too sure unfortunately. Pre-orders started on Motorola.com yesterday.

I know android has had the capability for a long time, but I'm excited to finally have the ability to text without picking up my finger every time. I don't know if this app was available before the update, but I saw it was available in the app store and love it already.

Don't upgrade if you're still on a 4S. My phone has slowed down considerably. Apps crashing and won't start again unless I shut them down in the background first.

I read on Gizmodo, I think, that 4S users shouldn't upgrade because of this. Wish I would have seen that sooner.

Time to get an iPhone 6, I guess.
