iOS 8 : Top 5 Features
iOS 8 has come back stronger, with more innovations and better experience. Apple got the basics right in the previous versions (iOS 7), now they have improved on what they had in iOS 7.But I have mentioned some which impressed me the most and which may be in more use compared to others.

The thing that irritates me the most, the iOS 8 has the same looks as its predecessor with Android doing so much with its systems I feel apple can do much more than just add features to upgrades on iOS.
Interactive Notifications
For moments when you need to instantly respond to a incoming notification a new feature of notifications is being able to just do that. Mostly will be used to reply texts or like or comment on Facebook. But this tool is a big boost to users who text all the time.

Battery Usage Breakdown by Individual Apps
Apple has taken the user feedbacks seriously and introduced battery usage breakdown per app feature in iOS 8. Users can now navigate to the settings and can view which particular app is draining the battery. This will help saving battery by turning off the unused apps that are draining the battery.
Continuity
Continuity comes in handy if you use other products of apple as well. Continuity is all about providing a link between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. As long as you're logged in under common Apple ID, and your devices are in same network, you can Handoff activity in an app on iOS to continue it right where you left off. There's also a new, cross-compatible version of AirDrop so you can push data between all your devices. Some other features coming under continuity are creating Instant Hotspots for your apple devices and being able to take phone calls and SMS and MMS messages from your iPhone on your iPad or Mac.
Spotlight
Spotlight has gotten much smarter, and much more able, in iOS 8. In addition to previous features, spotlight now provides Wikipedia results, news, maps, iTunes Store, App Store etc.

Multitasking
Where previously you could double-click the Home button to get the card-view interface for recently used apps, now you can do the same to get a horizontal list view of favorite and recent contacts as well.
