Newness

The newness didn't last too long. A few things are nice but not quite sure why this has to be such a big deal. They already had many of the new features available in previous updates. A family can share the same iTunes app id to but games and music. Then just set reach device up with their own iCloud account free for back up and what not. Family calendar, just make a calendar called family and invite the members. Done! That's all there is it to that. Don't think that's a big deal but they are making it sound like it is.

I haven't tried to make a family calendar, but tell you what that's so handy!  I can keep some of my stuff to me, then add the other to the family so everyone knows what's going on.

The one new handy thing is to have my beloved swiftkey to now be available for ios. This was a beautiful site. And it worked great.  Hope they add the in app purchase from previous purchases. That would be awesome for new colorful keyboard themes.

Well, this version hasn't been glitchy yet from what I can tell. I need to have more user time on it to say. But this time last year I didn't have an iPhone but just an ipod that went nuts with the ios 7. So far I like the 8 even tho there are only a few noticeable tweaks.  Time will tell, for now here is my three cents.
