While our main iOS 8 roundup focuses on the major changes announced by Apple, this iOS 8 roundup highlights some of the more interesting but smalleradditions and refinements made to Apple's mobile operating system throughout the beta testing period.

Apple released iOS 8 to the public on September 17, 2014, two days ahead of the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Prior to the public launch, the software wentthrough five developer betas before a golden master was released on September 9.

The current version of iOS 8 is iOS 8.0.2, which was released to the public on Thursday, September 25, with several bug fixes. Apple has also seeded two iOS8.1 betas to developers.

Many of the tidbits noted below have been culled from the MacRumors forums, where our readers are discussing and sharing feature enhancements and tweaks inthe "iOS 8, All The Little Things thread." Here is a collection of the more interesting ones, followed by a more comprehensive list. If you find any to add, pleasecontact us at [email protected]

New in iOS 8.1

Siri - Changes to the way Siri behaves when asked to "open a credit card" suggest that Apple Pay will be introduced with iOS 8.1. It also suggests that Siri willbe able to open up credit cards in Passbook once Apple Pay is available.

Continuity - With iOS 8.1 and the OS X Yosemite, Continuity features like SMS Relay and Forwarding now work.

Other changes - Most of the changes introduced in iOS 8.1, which appears to be primarily designed to introduce Apple Pay, are very minor. Tweaks to theoperating system include larger app icons in widget mode, a new iBooks icon, third-party keyboard support for Guided Access, an enable dictation toggle in NewSettings --> General --> Keyboards, a My Photo Stream folder for some users, and improvements to Reachability.

Cool iOS 8 Features

Send last location to Apple before your battery dies - If you've ever lost your iPhone, this new feature allows your iPhone (or iPad) to send its last knownlocation to Apple when the battery drains to a critical level. iCloud presently holds this information for 24 hours, but this new setting will allow Apple to accesslocation information for a lost device for a longer period of time.

Identify songs - Siri now includes Shazam integration. If you ask Siri, "What song is playing?", it will cause her to listen to the ambient sound, using Shazam toidentify music. Shazam integration in Siri was removed in the iOS 8 golden master, but it will be returned for the public release according to the GM releasenotes.

Credit card scanning - In iOS 8's web browser (Safari), you can utilize the camera to scan in credit card numbers when making online purchases, rather thanmanually entering your credit card number.
