Just In Time — Apple has officially released its new firmware update to the iPhone and iPad software. Apple’s new mobile operating system , iOS 8, is now available for free download for a number of products, but If you’re getting an error – please be patient – it’s probably because the servers are getting overloaded right now.

The new iOS 8 is compatible with:

iPhone 4, 4s and 5, iPod Touch 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB (5th generation), iPad 2, with retina display and iPad mini.

It’s not a big change, but it’s definitely a little better. People who buy an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus will get iOS 8 pre-installed, while the rest will have to get it from iTunes. Here’s a short list of some of the best new features in iOS 8: Device Continuity, QuickType/3rd party keyboard support, HealthKit tools, HomeKit controls, iCloud drive, Family sharing app, Improved messaging features (photos and voice), New integrated Spotlight search system, Additional camera video capabilities (such as time-lapse), Interactive actionable notifications platform, Fresh Siri features (‘Hey Siri”), New “Contacts” look,  and a WiFi calling support.

There are two ways to get the new update for your iDevices:

1) Go to Settings > General > Software Update, and hit the “Download and Install” button. After you have it downloaded onto your slab, click the “Install” button and wait for the process to be over.

2) iOS 8 can also be downloaded on your computer via iTunes, and it requires Apple’s latest release version.

Update: Make sure you have at least 5GB+ to install iOS8.

Apple’s iPhone launch event is only three days away, but leaks haven’t stopped coming in. Apple set to reveal a new line of iPhone devices, as well as a smartwatch, which was rumored to be in the making for quite some time, and its latest and greatest iOS 8. As rumors of the new iPhone design continue to swirl, we’ve stumbled upon a series of short “hands on” videos related to the most expected iPhone 6. In those videos you can see a guy playing around with what appears to be Apple’s next-gen iOS 8, running on an iPhone 6 (or whatever it is). As usual you should take this footage with a little grain of salt, but you should also pay attention to some of the details included in the videos. For instance, this tiny little red stripe icon which apparently includes an image of a credit card, that most likely indicating of an electronic payment capability through Passbook. In addition to that, the submitted clips which have been recently uploaded to Chinese video sharing site MiaoPai (by a user called “zzray”), also present a new Health app plus many other upcoming iOS 8 features. What do you think, is that the REAL DEAL?
