iOS 8 beta 2

iOS 8 beta 2

Apple seeds iOS 8 beta 2 build 12A4297e to developers on Tuesday, June 17, 2014.

This build seems to be a lot more stable than the first iOS 8 beta which crashed at least three times within the first hour. iOS 8 beta 2 seems to be stable enough that I told my colleagues they could install it if they would.

I installed iOS 8 beta on an iPhone 5s and iPad Air instead of on older devices; they are the only 64-bit iPhone and iPad I have. Apple is going full on 64-bit with the upcoming iOS devices.

I noticed that my iPad Air rings whenever my iPhone 5s rings. It seems that phone call handoff is working between the two devices. Overall, I’m really excited with iOS 8.

So You want to install iOS 8 Beta

Apple seeds iOS 8 beta to Developers on Monday, June 2, 2014 following the WWDC Keynote. Usually, beta Operating System comes with bugs and more bugs. If you want to  install iOS 8 beta, please consider the followings:

  • Do not install the iOS 8 beta if you do not want to deal with the bugs.
  • iOS 8 beta will not make you any cooler among your friends, if you had any.
  • Should you still be compelled to install iOS 8 beta after reading the two points above, install it on your second device if available.
  • Do not complain if your favorite apps do not work properly.
  • Avoid giving money and your UDID to some shady-money-grubing sites.
  • Do file bug reports.

Anyway, look at the awesomeness of an iOS 8 bug.
