Another beta of 8.2 is out and Safari looks to be finally fixed! Navigating these forums doesn't jump to to the top of the previous page when going back. Page rendering also doesn't seem to be a section at a time either. That's been irritating me since updating to 8
Absolutely unbelievable, its defiantly a software issue as if you pull down the notification centre it fixes it! I just cannot believe its not been fixed even now!!!
Im getting pretty angry about it to be honest
lol

Nightmare how do I get back to IOS 7
4S locked up 4 times already phone refuses to play in car now
Now I'm no conspiracy theorist but they've FORCED the podcast app on me and now my downcast app is playing up!
Apps crash unexpectedly.
This has put me right off getting a 6!

You really couldn't make this up. IOS 8 is a disaster - lots of people I know are angry and frustrated that their once fluid iDevice is now rendered almost unusable.
I really don't know what Apple is playing at, but if they can't even get Safari to run butter smooth, people will be moving over to play Android. I suspect IOS 8 has been deliberately coded to cripple older iPhones and iPads in an attempt to get people to dip their hand in their pockets and folk out more. I think Apple know the plan backfired and have "fixed" some of the "problems" in 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 so that the masses do not throw the book at them by switching to Android. Sadly for Apple, many people have already made the move and are now realising Android is a better OS in so many ways.

Android is a lagfest that requires a quad core and 3gb of ram just to be slightly less laggy. I know as I ditched android for that very reason. iPhone is much faster.
You must have had a faulty phone mate, or used an early version of Android. I have a number of different Android devices and a couple of iDevices. Android KitKat is super fluid. My iPad 3 on 7.1.2 is also super fluid - the same can't be said for one running 8.
Overall, Android just offers more flexibility. Sure, it's not great, and if I had my way, I'd be using Linux on my tablets and phone. In the not too distant future, there will indeed be Linux distros mainstream for use on phones and tablets so I will be able to ditch both Android and IOS.

I've used a lot of android phones. I stood in the shop with the iPhone 6, the S5 and the note 4 and the iPhone was so quick compared to them. No micro stutters swiping the desktop, instant app opening, can open an unlimited amount of apps and get no loss of performance. The other half has a 4S currently, it is slower than the 6 but it is 3 years old, still runs fast and battery lasts a couple of days. What did it for me was a colleague who has an S5 and got his other half one recently said his was already slower than hers and it was only 6 months old. I dislike how they are already stuttery, slow and it is down hill from the day you own it. I wish android software would work as well as iOS does with its hardware.
iOS tends to offer a better "out of the box" offering than Android. On the latest Apple hardware, iOS runs well on the performance front, although iOS 8 still has many holes, even at the current revision. A finely tuned Android system on a similarly specked device as the iDevice however, will generally have the same level of performance but with added flexibility advantages. My rooted Nexus 5 is butter smooth, fully loaded and customised. An as-new Nexus 5 can be picked up for a really decent price, and the only reason it can be is because it doesn't carry the Apple logo.
I see iDevices as offerinwg better performance for the masses who know next to nothing about technology, nor want to know the technicalities. With that brings a locked down system where any app has to sit within the garden-fenced domain. Jail breaking may bring benefits, but your average iUser isn't interested. Android on the other hand is more open and is a hackers paradise, at least until Linux really goes mainstream on tablets and phones.
Anyone with any lag on current Android os's is either using old or faulty hardware, or does not have the ability or aptitude to get their device highly optimised. I prefer having the flexibility of optimising my Android devices than having to pay Apple more money every year or two to get the same outcome.
Anyone with an iPad 2 or 3 for example, and who has updated to iOS 8, WILL be having performance issues, whether they realise it or not. Even the current 8.1.2 is awful in comparison to 7.1.2 on iPad 2 and 3. It can be made to perform better with certain actions, but it still doesn't provide a quality experience. I do suspect Apple have deliberately crippled the A5 devices through iOS 8 in a vain attempt to get users of such devices to dip their hand in their pocket once more and buy the latest iDevice - a device that doesn't offer anything more than their current device. Apple are certainly arrogant enough to pull such a stunt.

Apple haven't intentionally crippled the performance of anything. The various iOS fiascos were down to trying to cram to many features into the code in too short a period without enough QA resources to test it all properly.
