Canon Rumors Site & iOS 8 Issues

I just wanted inform you of this since I read this site all the time.

This is for the iPhone 6 only. It appears to be fine on the 5s and I'm not sure about the 6 plus.

Unfortunately iOS uses a web browser that is not fully HTML5 standards compliant, not unlike the dreaded Internet Explorer 6 of the 90s. So sites have to code around it because of its marketshare which is not really fair to the web developers.

What Apple should do, is get with the program and stop releasing proprietary stuff. But, it appears proprietary stuff is Apple's specialty, heh.

If you want to Notify CR Guy, send him a e-mail. He does not read all the forum posts. He uses a iphone, so if the new Apple IOS is not working right with the site, he will try to make changes as soon as the forum software is updated.

I'm currently on the site with an iPhone 6 and all looks good to me.

<p>If you’re running an iOS 8 device and using Safari, you may experience issues viewing Canon Rumors.</p>
<p>To fix this, simply empty the cache for Safari on your iOS 8 device and all should be good. There are no issues with iOS 7 or if you’re using another browser such as Chrome.</p>

Apple approach is kinda "Off-roads are not adapted to our off-road wehicle" all over again.

I've "upgraded" my ipad 4 to iOS 8 and it's made a right mess of everything. I strongly advise anyone with an ipad to leave iOS 8 well alone for the time being.

Or, how about a Canon Rumors app, that'll have the forums fully integrated?

Largest English rumour site for Canon in the world...yup, an app sounds long overdue.

It's on its way with a new site design, more content, and an updated forum.

I'm going to go ahead and just blame iOS 8's version of Safari. I've seen the issue on 2 iOS 8 devices and clearing the cache and restarting the browser fixed it. To me it's just a stylesheet getting corrupted in cache. The issue doesn't happen in any other browser running on iOS 8.

Re: Canon Rumors Site & iOS 8 Issues

iOS 8 has a ton of bugs. I have been using it for most of the summer through my Developer Account. There were actually very few betas for this release...makes me wonder if they wanted to just get it out in time for the new phones.

Either way, Wifi is slow or doesn't connect, apps crash like crazy, and battery performance is a mess. Location Services keeps running in the background for system services too, which is strange.

iOS 8.0.1, which was released today, is a mess too. The over-the-air update through the phone or iPad system preferences caused the devices to drop cellular reception and Touch ID capabilities.

Is there any way of re loading the previous iOS ?

Yes, there's three ways of fixing the issue:

1) I believe Apple is still pushing iOS 8.0.0 through iTunes. So, if you've updated to the newest version through Over The Air, then you can connect to your phone and have it restored to the old version.

2) You can manually download the 8.0.1 IPSW file from another source online. Check www.MacRumors.com in the iPhone forums for download links.

3) Similar to step 2. Find an iOS 7 IPSW file and restore through iTunes using the Option + Restore method.
