Should I upgrade my iPhone 5 from iOS 7 to 8?

Hi Jeff. Personally if my phone handles it, I get the upgrade, but that's besides the point. With IOS8 you also have the neat ability to send audio messages. In fact, this is so useful I forgot about a friend who doesn't have it, sent her one. Not realizing she hadn't I get a "How did you do that?" response? Also you need to think how big your device is. If it's a small one, and you have it packed full IOS8 is a little larger. Plus if you were hoping for the Alex voice, we don't get that, but I don't care. I didn't know if you did either just telling you what you will encounter. I have a few issues with the bluetooth keyboard, but other then that, IOs8.3 is awesome. One word of warning, if you turned off hints, you will still hear, swipe up with three fingers to enable, whatever, swipe down to enable that. I forgot what the upward and downward gestures do but you should undrstand what I mean. I'd upgrade if it were me, obviously this is your choice. :) good luck keep us posted. I meant btw, when you touch the status bar itmight say that. Hope you upgrade, it's up to you of course. :)

Another iPhone 5 user here. Having spent a bit of time with 8.3 on a friend's iPhone 5, I'm still holding off on the upgrade. It's bearable if there are enough new features that you'll use regularly, but for me, the performance hit isn't worth it. I guess I'll bite the bullet whenever there's a decent third party keyboard or I pick up a newer device, whichever happens first.

I, too, am an iPhone 5 user and I upgraded when iOS 8.0 was released. I do not use a BT keyboard or braille input. I am glad that I upgraded and I have had no real difficult issues. I always like to stay current with the updates. I recommend updating, at least in my own opinion, anyway.

A lot of bugs were squashed in iOS 8.3, and it's a lot better than when it was first released. Apple has really worked a lot on squashing bugs. So i do believe it's safe to upgrade now. Go for it!

Hi guys!
I'm also the one that useing IPhone 5 as well.
I always keep my device upgrade all the time too.
Since the the IOS 8.3 was released.
I did not face any big bug so far.
It's goes fine with my device as well.
By the way it was your choince though.

I would appreciate hearing from those who have updated and are glad they did which accessibility options they use. In particular, do any of you use Voiceover? What about Zoom? Thank you.
