Apple Publishes, Then Pulls, iOS 8.0.1 Update

Apple released a new version of iOS 8 this afternoon only to yank it shortly thereafter. The purpose of iOS 8.0.1 was to resolve a wide range of bugs impacting iOS devices, such as the inability to download HealthKit apps from the App Store. Instead, the update caused even more grief as it disabled cellular service on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus across multiple carriers. The update also broke Touch ID functionality. Once users reported losing cellular service on their devices, Apple removed the update from its servers. "We have received reports of an issue with the iOS 8.0.1 update," said Apple in a statement. "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." iPhone owners who've lost cellular service due to the update should be able to regain access to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon by restoring their iPhone to iOS 8.

It just works..

Great that they improved that "reachability", maybe they should work on that bendability.

Connections to Mobile networks are over-rated anyway.

They should hire some testers, to like, test some stuff.

🤣

For a second I thought you were being serous....

I can only see Steve Jobs explaining the 'bending'

You're putting it in your pocket wrong
