They can refine the operating system to make it a lot faster, which is what a lot of people were complaining about.
I agree, with a major redesign only happening a year ago, and 7.1 recently being released, iOS8 might not even be so different, if they even announce an actual "iOS8"
UI was just a skinning. It's largely the same. The only big 'features' related to UI was Safari, and the side gesture swiping.Since iOS7 has been a major revamp, I wonder what improvements Apple has planned.

Here is a timeline:
- Apple announces iOS 8
- People complain
- Graphic designers with no jobs or names proclaim how they could have done better.
- Beta comes out
- Threads with "how do I register a UDID" start popping up everywhere
- Non-developers that frequent these forums install iOS 8.
- Complaints about battery life
- Complaints about how Apple doesn't know what they're doing
- Beta 2 comes out
- Repeat above
- Beta 3 comes out
- repeat above.
iOS 8 goes Gold
- The masses accept it
- The people here who don't have much going on in their lives begin to look for bugs in workflows that no one would ever use.
I'm ready!

Hopefully it'll work.

You forgot about the "its a beta" response to an issue that occurs during beta phase, and even when it makes its way to GM people ignore it.
My favorite is when people voluntarily install a Beta OS and then complain about how stuff does not work and then they end up telling others how it sucks BEFORE it's even public.
I guess I don't blame Google for charging $1500 for Google Glass for developer review. Nothing is worse than word of mouth trashing a product that doesn't publicly exist yet.

Absolutely and hopefully so. That doesn't make it a brand new "iOS 8" though.

iOS 8 is better being awesome, I wouldn't touch anything iOS 7-infested with a totem pole.
I am hoping the spice things up a little and reveal iOS 7.5, or go straight to iOS X, just skip 8 and 9.
