1) Interactive notifications.
 
You can now interact with app notifications without having to open the app! Even from your lockscreen. The most notable instance of this as a useful feature is in the case of the Messages app; no matter where you are, or what you are doing on your phone, you can reply to incoming messages instantly, without closing your work or pausing your video. One of my personal favorites so far.

This page is dedicated to showcasing the new features Apple has introduced in iOS 8.

3) Updated Siri
 
Siri is now much more accessible. Instead of holding the home button, simply say "Hey Siri!" She also understands many more commands now - including the ability to Shazam a song directly from Apple's iOS assistant.
4) Third-party keyboard support
 
Finally you can theme your keyboard, or even add functionality such as swype to your iPhone. Also, word prediction is now a thing. It's been rumored since 6.0, and Apple finally has it polished enough for the public.
5) iCloud Drive
 
Apple's answer to Dropbox, this new addition allows users to store their personal files in the cloud. This allows for seamless file access between multiple devices, as well as ensures data security and safety.
Much, much more!  iOS 8 also includes a new set of health&fitness apps to compliment the new M5 motion processor in the iPhone 5S and the upcoming iPhone 6.  Apple is working with Philips to integrate Hue, a home automation and control system, into the OS as well.  Paying online with a card?  Simply scan the card with your camera, and let your phone do the rest.  Have and iPhone 5S?  Use TouchID to verify your passwords in AppStore apps!  Is your battery draining too quickly?  Have iOS 8 tell you exactly which apps are using up your charge, and keep them from running down your battery.
 
This is just a sampling of the new introductions from Apple, and more features will be added weekly over the coming months.  Remember, your UDID registration is valid all the way through the launch of iOS 8, so you'll be able to update along with the developers and take advantage of each improvement as soon as possible.

Thank you.
2) WiFi calling
 
Ever been stuck in a basement and wanted to make a call?  Now you can!  Both T-Mobile and Rogers wireless have announced that they will support VOIP wifi calls on iOS 8, and more carriers are sure to follow.
