Night mode is an automatic setting which takes advantage of the new wide-angle camera that's in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models. It's equipped with a larger sensor that is able to let in more light, allowing for brighter photos when the light is low.

iOS 8.1 Carries Hidden Settings for Apple Pay, References Touch ID Support for iPad
The first beta of iOS 8.1 seeded earlier today has not yet revealed a significant number of changes visible to regular users, but developer Hamza Sood has managed to uncover several interesting hidden settings and strings from the new version.
First, Sood shares a screenshot of a hidden Settings pane for Apple Pay inside. The pane will allow users to manage their entered credit and debit cards linked to Apple Pay, as well as define their default card, billing and shipping address, email, and phone.
The Settings screen for Apple Pay also links to a privacy disclosure outlining how the user's card and device information and location may be sent back to Apple and perhaps passed on to the card issuer to determine eligibility and detect possible fraud.
Apple Pay will allow users to easily authenticate payments to their preferred credit and debit cards, using NFC for point-of-sale transactions with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and Apple Watch while also allowing for Touch ID-based authentication of purchase transactions in apps supporting Apple Pay. Apple has announced that Apple Pay will be launching in October, and iOS 8.1 is likely to be the update carrying that support, but the company has not yet flipped the switch to broadly enable it in this first developer seed.
While Apple has so far only announced that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and Apple Watch will be compatible with Apple Pay, Sood has also turned up evidence suggesting next-generation iPad models will include Touch ID support and Apple Pay. The evidence comes in the form of a code string addressing support for the services:

Pay with iPad using Touch ID. With Apple Pay, you no longer need to type card numbers and shipping information.It is unclear whether the upcoming iPads will include NFC technology for point-of-sale transactions or if Apple Pay support on the iPad will be limited to app-based transactions, but Apple's upcoming iPad have been widely rumored to see the addition of Touch ID.

Who is going to carry around, let alone take out their iPad, for POS payments?

Who's going to hold an iPad up to a register to pay for things?! Might as well add Pay to a flat-screen TV.
Not many, but you are forgetting that apps on the iPad will use touch ID for online purchases like target which was demoed at the announcement.

... Even if it's not super practical, it's not like it's going to cost Apple a ton to include it.
the same can be said for an extra GB of RAM.

Of course there will still be some differences that are necessary due to hardware differences (or screen size differences), but it's good to eliminate as many needless differences as possible.
Another such example, in iOS 6, you couldn't get to the the camera directly from lock screen on iPad the way you could on iPhone. I'm glad iOS 7 fixed that.
There is no reason why 4.7 inch iPhone cannot get the rotation... my 4.5 inch Moto G and 4.7 Nexus 4 can easily do that... I still do not understand why... 4.7 is not small screen...
Really, Apple need to do some optimization for bigger screen... All you get now is blown up iOS to fit into bigger screen. It is time to take that screen to make something useful (multi-window multitasking)...

Well, hopefully this update isn't cocked up like the rest of September has been.
Keynote stream failure, possible easily bending phones, iOS 8.0.1, general build quality with iPhones, general issues with iOS 8, HealthKit.
...am I missing anything else? :confused:
Imaginary build quality issue with Iphone.. Corrected that for you.
