Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

What survives

Internet Archive captured Apple’s own page on June 3. Its title identifies the iOS 8.0 beta, its footer says it was updated June 2, and it preserves Apple copyright and internal document anchors.[1]

What Beta 1 documents

This structured snapshot contains 30 narrowly attributed Apple developer-note records. The index preserves the component and milestone status for each item while rewriting the factual result in original language.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]

Selection boundary

This is a conservative first-document baseline. Selection is limited to exact Apple Note or Known Issue records that describe an API, compatibility boundary, behavior, or concrete defect; broad boilerplate and workaround text are excluded.[32]

Archive limitations

This page is a structured historical index, not a reproduction of Apple’s document or an exhaustive list of every user-visible change. It excludes publisher commentary, workaround prose, community observations, unavailable build claims, and the already-owned Public route.[33]
