This has nothing to do with iOS or iOS8 - somebody's just using Apple's brand (presumably unauthorized) and design language to push traffic to a UI concept they threw together.

Also, his "action button" idea already exists and is implemented (although if he's having trouble knowing that perhaps they need to work on discoverability) - it's the whole notification banner. Click anywhere on it to reply to an iMessage/SMS.

I want my 100 seconds back.

It's their concept of iOS 8 hence the word 'concept' in the title. They aren't trying to trick you into believing this is iOS 8.

iOS 7 is out and now people are trying to do concepts for next iOS release probably iOS 8 like they were doing for iOS 7. I dont see anything wrong here, it`s actually good suggestion.

The majority of users will still feel like they are switching apps, because the messages app is shown here as taking over the entire screen.

A better solution would be to have something like the existing Facebook or Twitter dialogs for posting (basically a big UIAlertView/modal dialog with a text field as its primary view) for entering your reply because you can still remain within your current app.

What's not clear is how do user dismiss the notification after performing the action?

It seemed to automatically dismiss after tapping "Send".

Although nothing was actually shown in the video - it dismissed several seconds after 'Send' was tapped. With this design, where the whole message thread is shown, I think it would be better to have a 'Done' button up at the top, in case you want to reread messages or send a second reply.
