My thoughts
As the time progresses, new improvements on iOS 8 are being introduced and it rekindles the excitement that I felt when Apple unveiled  iOS 8 during the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 2, 2014. Two to three weeks from now, Apple will release iOS 8 beta 4 which will add another set of exciting features I long to see before its official public release in September.
