[Ser Aphim]

Has anyone hear installed iOS 8 GM for the iPad 2? Did it cause any problems for the iPad 2 like lag or battery drain or slowing if the interface?

Yes it slowed it appreciably, I went back to 7.1.2 today.

Why close the thread? There may be some other observations worth seeing.

There is already another thread, which another forum member made. I made this thread so that I can see if I should upgrade.

It was me who told you that it's not possible any more. The only version you're able to revert to now, is iOS 8, and only if you use iTunes on a computer.

The possibility to revert to iOS 7x existed for more than a week, and it's over now.

Thanks for that Johanna, I updated only a couple of days ago, so time had already run out. Hey Ho!

 

[J. A.]

Sorry that I don't have better news! It was still possible two days ago.

Well even a later one (version 8.0.2) is with us now and whatever comes next will see some problems, or no problems,maybe good material for a future thread. But this one has run its course, so let's close it.
