5 or 6pm given what's happened before. They usually do it then so the US isn't woken up by notifications saying their phone needs an update.

They'll still get a notification. It's released at 10am local time.

Yes, but they'll likely be awake by then.

questions for GM ios8 users, has anyone got the voice rec/send option on messages? i see it in the tips but the grey mic icon is not on the input area so cannot be used?

Yeah it works for me. Why really surprised me is that it worked to someone that was using ios5 on an ipad 1.

Lol I'm sure that's the reason why they release it at 10am.

Well, they have their keynotes starting at that time over there too.

Yes, but they still get a notification. I don't think you understand how it works. Just because you're awake makes no difference.

Getting a notification during the night, waking you up, annoys the hell out of anyone.

Yeah that's the time they do things over there but not because they don't want to wake people up with an update notification.

Can the version be installed over wifi or do you need to plug yourself into iTunes?

You've ben able to update the phone without iTunes since after iOS 5, just make sure you have enough free space (I think about 4GB).

Also anyone that doesn't use DND whilst they are sleeping cannot be annoyed (and because I'm evil) deserve to woken up by a push notification.

You need free space for the update itself, then the same again to install it. The GM image is 2GB in size.

(iOS 6 to 7 was similar)

I'll miss the constant guessing game of whether the caps lock is on or not

You'll still have it on secure text fields. Unless you're smart and use 1Password with Touch ID authentication.

Just a heads up for anyone not using 1Password... its free at the moment (iPhone version), not sure for how long though.

that's a bug in the app store, it's not meant to be free. but you'd be silly not to have it by now anyways.

and for the love of everyone all go do a backup on iTunes now!

From The Guardian

App update: 1Password. The password management app isn’t just getting updated for iOS 8: it’s going free. Well, freemium. The app will now be a free download from the App Store, with a single in-app purchase used to unlock its deeper features.

It's out!

4.7 GB required according to my iPhone right now! :pac:

The Ayatolla

i just got an "update requested" option.

I take it we join a queue and the download starts when they have free slots to stop the servers being bombarded.

Well my device is updating OTA where it told me that an update is available, clicking to check via itunes does say "no update available".

Download is very slow, looks like loads of people are checking/downloading.

Kylo Ren

1.3 GB for the iPad Air.

I'm going to give it a while and wait for people to test it out.

Davexirl

Downloading it now.

adox

1.3GB on ipad and 5.8GB for iphone :eek:

Haven't enough space.
