Apple Yanks iOS 8 Update

Posted by samzenpus on from the our-bad dept.

alphadogg writes Within hours of releasing an iOS 8 update to address assorted bugs in the new iPhone and iPad operating system Apple has been forced to pull the patch, which itself was causing iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users grief. Reports filled Apple support forums that the iOS 8 update was cutting off users' cell service and making Touch ID inoperable. The Wall Street Journal received this statement from Apple: "We have received reports of an issue with the iOS 8.0.1 update. We are actively investigating these reports and will provide information as quickly as we can. In the meantime we have pulled back the iOS 8.0.1 update."

    I just hope that with the iphone 7 apple makes a regular size one. otherwise I'll be keeping my 5s for a long time. big phones are for teenagers who can't afford an iphone.
