    EXactly. I have tried to post  the following, and it won't let me. They know they have HUGE issues. I had ZERO issues before this stupid UPDATE. I will never buy another Apple ANYTHING.

     

    SInce updating to this wannabe os, here is a list of the issues I now have, that I didn't have before, and I am really ticked. So much so that I feel like throwing this against the wall.

     

    Safari crashes. Can't get anywhere after a few minutes, then have to reboot, which takes FOREVER. Then it tells me I am not connected to the internet when I AM.

     

    Keyboard is all messed up. Freezes, starts going VERY SLOW after a few lines of text. It also caps letters AFTER the start of the FIRST letter in a sentence, but will not cap a letter after a double space. Have to close the keyboard and reopen to get it to work again.

     

    Screen  freezes, Siri freezes if you accidently hit it and try to close it. Have to restart.

     

    Hate Safari now, no way to just close a page other than PINCHING the whole thing down. It's just. Mess now.

     

    Streaming video looks like caca.

     

    Hard crashes apps after I swipe them off the screen.

     

    Fails to notify me on mail. Regardless of my settings.

     

    WHen you are trying to copy/paste, the leybpard comes up SO YOU CAN'T GET THE WHOLE TEXT. 

     

    NO longer fluid operation, very sticky, and laggy.

     

    I'M sure I am forgetting something, but this is ridiculous. I had ZERO issues before 8. Not one. But I will NEVER buy another Apple product, because thisis a constant maddening situation, and has left a VERY bad taste in my mouth, and the FACT that I cannot go BACK ti what worked, really PI*** me OFF.

     

     

    IT'S SLOW. IT'S JERKY, AND I AM NOT HAPPY.

    HHi Bob, iPad mini A1432 Late 2012.  Checked loads of sites in Safari and they all work, no stuttering, locking, crashing etc

     

    Installed 8.1.1 as a complete clean setup, no backup or restore so totally out of the box.  I haven't installed anything at all that Apple doesn't install as default and I have to say that it is much better.

     

    Speed tests are good over wifi, cut and paste is fixed, no lookups as yet, keyboard is responsive, just need to check some websites that were causing a problem.  Router is an Apple Extreme latest firmware.

     

    Only other actions were:

     

    Turned off keyboard clicks

    Cleared History and Website Data in Safari

    Turn off and back on again

     

    It's just a shame it happened in the first place and that it took so long to fix it.  Acknowledgement would have been appreciated.
