No problem, keep this thread posted on how 14.8 is working for you
Ya know, the very first thing I nicked was how frustrating it is that Apple took away the text selection magnifying glass. I’ve gotten more used to it but text selection is still much worse. I understand the brought this back in iOS 15, just crazy they’d take it away at all.
14.8 works well on my iPad Pro 10.5. But the app reloads on the iPhone 8 are just as bad if not worse on 14.8. 2GB of memory just isn’t enough.
I ended up getting a really good deal on an iPhone SE (2020) 256GB. It came with 14.8 and they have 3GB of memory.
The SE really is significantly quicker. iOS 14.8 didn’t cripple the iPhone 8 like iOS 7 did to the iPhone 5, but 2GB was really showing limits.
I do wish the brand new update they came out a couple days ago to 14.8.1 was available to reload via iTunes. I’m sure this SE ended up on 14.8 via OTA updates.
I wonder if a bunch of OTA updates + factory reset is 100% completely identical to the very last bit to a iTunes restore via the earlier method.
I do think the 8 was smoother via iTunes.
My goal now is to make it with current devices and software to the iPhone 15, at least.
