I'm just adding my cards to this thing like a gleeful fool.
Unfortunately there's still a glaring bug. The new WKWebView (webview with optimized JavaScript using Nitro engine) can't load html docs from 'file://' (local file system). Also, it's my understanding that the old UIWebView performance degraded significantly for html/JS. So this really negatively affects Cordova/Phonegap apps.

Note: I haven't verified any of these claims, but have been reading up on it and have an active interest in the situation since I write Cordova/Phonegap apps.

Still broken? Ugh. Fellow PhoneGap developer here, I feel your pain!
My device is showing 8.0.2 as the most recent that can be installed over the air.
It just came out, so the update is still being rolled out to all of Apple's servers. It should be available to everyone by the end of the date at the latest.
