As promised, Apple has released iOS 8 to the public ahead of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus release coming this Friday. Over 4 million consumers have already taken advantage of the pre-order options offered by Apple and mobile carrier companies. Apple reported an “incredible response” in pre-order interest and that they have shattered their previous record for pre-orders set with the iPhone 5.
The iOS 8 download is available as a free-upgrade to the public. To download it on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch simply go to the Setting app on your device and select General–>then Software update. Make sure before you attempt the upgrade that your device has at least 50% battery available or you will not be able to complete the install. However, if you have your device plugged in, the amount of available battery is of no concern.
