Apple iOS 8 beta 2

[AnestisL820]

Apple is already seeding iOS 8 beta 2 to developers for bugs etc fixing while we are still waiting for 8.1 fixes and cyan firmware update... How much will we have to wait??? Where is Microsoft while all these are happening... The catch up game won't work forever... They must make a big step forward in updates...

First of all, it doesn't make sense to compare the updates from Apple and From MS. Apple can push an update to fix a improperly displayed letter, while MS can fix almost all of the bugs in one update (and this kind of updates will be much less frequent), and vice-versa.
Second thing, we already had 3 updates on WP 8.1. Another funny thing is that you are complaining about MS/Nokia not finishing the FINAL version, while Apple just pushed a beta update.
Third: less complaints - more constructive feedback.

We have received 3 updates as of now. And Microsoft is trying best to fix the bugs. Also read this carefully "Apple is the only OEM making iPhone , so they don't require any firmware update for drivers , optimisations where as when compared to windows phone 8.1 Nokia , Samsung have to work on windows phone 8.1 update. By the way ios 8 beta 2 sucks on my ipad. Completely useless,safari crashed after opening 4 tabs , settings crashed when I open iCloud tab.

Huh? You do realise, that the WP 8.1 dev preview has already been updated 3 times with bugfixes and improvements, yes? Regarding firmware udpates.. These will be available once WP 8.1 officially starts rolling out to our devices.

For start I am a big fan of WP and i don't like iOS at all... But with sooo many people complainig about battery issues and phones overheating and lagging, i don't think they really cared about the last update which was primary for APIs... It could wait until more serious bugs where fixing... My main problem is the catch up game MSFT is doing...

Rest assured that MS is well aware of existing battery issues and they've already addressed it at least in the very first update. That aside, I'm quite convinced many of those who are currently facing decreased battery life will certainly see a huge improvement once the appropriate firmware updates become available.
