- eddieroger 12y agoI was in the same boat, and ended up wiping my 3. That helped more than it should have, especially for the pain in the ass that it was to reinstall the stuff I use regularly.
- tacoman 12y agoWiping it actually increased responsiveness? I guess I'll give that a try.
- eddieroger 12y agoWorking theory is that it cleared out things like Safari's caches (which I could have done without a wipe, of course), and cleared up free space. iOS isn't a happy camper when it lacks free space.
- slig 12y agoI somehow missed the iOS 6 update on my iPad 3. Everything I use still worked fine, so never bothered to update to iOS 7 and now it's very unlikely that I'll upgrade to iOS 8.
- tacoman 12y agoI had the same experience. The devices is noticeably slower. I feel like I had no choice because of the potential security problems of staying on iOS 7. e.g. https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/iOS+7+1+x+Exploit+Released+CVE-2014-4377+/18693 https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/iOS+7+1+x+Exploit+Released...
