Ok on the mini so far :)

But some if the features aren't back compatible. Disappointing but not unsurprising.

Keyboard suggestions look useful.

I've updated my iPhone 5 today - it all seems to work nicely :)

No issues with the download or install

It needs 4.6GB of available space.  Doesn't look like I'll be upgrading to iOS8 anytime soon!  ;D

£72,030 to be precise, although I might have ticked a few boxes along the way ::)

Done the update.

Looks the same.

Feels the same.

It's the same.

Seeing as I wasn't going to delete a few GB of MY data to do the upgrade, I entrusted it to the magic of iTunes.

I upgraded iTunes, made a full backup of the phone and then performed the upgrade.  Took all of 15 minutes, and not a single problem (yet).

Not that it seems to have done anything.  I've already turned off the 'next predicted word' feature on messaging and e-mail.  It's never worked (on any platform) and will never work, EVER.  I am not Stephen Hawking, I do not talk in sentences predetermined by a computer.

The 'Recent' contacts at the top of the screen are annoying.

I like that I can share paid apps between 6 devices, even with different Apple ID's.

Camera 'upgrades' are a waste of time, the camera is shit and will remain shit.

Still won't own a Samsung though!  :-\

It's not a very noticeable difference visually overall if coming from ios7 granted

No major problems here, Have noticed scrolling in the App Store, Music Store etc.. can be a little jittery that's the only small issue I've picked up on.

Will just have to wait and see how it is long term, Battery life doesn't seem to have been affected.

Biggest change will be the upgrade, Mainly the iPhones screen as i'll be going down the 5.5" model. But if it does feel too big one thing about buying direct form Apple you have 2 weeks to play with the phone then send it back free for a full refund.

There is a long list of improvements in the learn more option.

Settings/general/software update/learn more.

Not sure if it's still available once upgraded though.

Adding voice messages is handy. But as said before. It's not back compatible with lesser versions. So won't work unless the recipient upgrades as well.

No split screen though. :(
