fyi,

National Braille Press has a new book for iOS 8.  I have not read it yet, but I 
have no doubt it will be a good reference. This is different from the getting 
started with the iPhone series.
Below is a description and link if interested.

iOS 8 Without the Eye
The Definitive Guide to iOS 8 from a Blind Person’s Perspective
by Jonathan Mosen 
In Braille (2 vols), eBraille (BRF), DAISY, or Word: $19.95

Apple’s iOS 8, the mobile operating system powering iPhone®, iPad® and iPod
Touch®, is more powerful, more capable, and perhaps most exciting of all, more 
open than ever before.

Make the most of what iOS 8 has to offer. Get up and running quickly and
easily with a clearly-written, comprehensive, well-structured guide to all 
that’s new in iOS 8.

Jonathan Mosen has spent months delving into iOS 8 as it has taken shape,
writing up the advertised new features from an accessibility point of view, and 
uncovering a whole bunch of other goodies Apple didn’t talk about. The
results of all that work can be in your hands with a low-cost purchase.

Look at new features from the perspective of those who use VoiceOver with
this text-based, searchable, authoritative resource that lets you read at your 
own pace, skim at your leisure, and consult when you need it. Jonathan
starts from the iOS 8 installation process, works through all the VoiceOver 
changes, then moves onto the amazing new mainstream features from a blindness
perspective.
