We say blindly because, as far as history as thought us, the first version of any new iOS firmware released comes with a whole lot of bugs that can render the device and apps unstable.

Seem like it but we never know until the full version of the iOS 8 becomes available. Like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter for more smartphone and jailbreak news.
