No its not because everyone that picks up a 6 plus automatically tries to tweak it. Don't forget that this is on CNN, everyone knows about it.

It looks like you are also in Australia. I think everyone(?) that's reported having issues is in australia?
Out of the 10 million devices sold launch weekend, it's not even half a percent.
No way the apple store employees leave bent phones out. They're not stupid. Plus you can try to tweak it all you want but unless you exert a lot of obvious force (which would attract security's attention) you ain't bending a 6+. I have one. It doesn't bend.
Aside from it actually being roughly 0.4% of all models sold, what percentage of people that actually updated their phone saw a loss of cellular service and touch ID?
I suspect that it is a FAR higher percentage of those that actually updated since many probably didn't even know there was an update available and others weren't able to do the update prior to it being pulled.
Wtf!!!!
Ok, just got the update available over OTA and downloaded and installed iOS 8.0.2
iPhone 6 plus restarted and have been "SEARCHING...." for past 10 mins
Resetted Network Settings, rebooted and same result....
I love you Apple, but this is rediculous...btw, I'm on AT&T in Florida

Updating my iPhone 6 and the wife's from 8.0 to 8.0.2 went flawlessly and both work fine.
BUT my old iPhone 5 I wiped clean earlier today and installed iOS 8 with a clean install to use it as an "iPod touch" with only a basic set of apps and my iCloud ID. No problem UNTIL tonight I updated to 8.0.2 which crashed during install leaving me in recovery mode having the "plug into iTunes" screen and no choice but to wipe it all over again
Wtf apple!

Let's say 0.5% then
1:200 phones is a lot actually. Even more if you only consider whoever had updated in the update
Could be. Here in Australia it seems to be a 50/50 situation for 6/6+ users. It works fine for some.
I was standing next to a 14 year old tweaking them today. I was able to bend one at the store also. If you can't bend one then......maybe a little gym time is in order for you.......
But that doesn't change that crippling 40,000 devices is a huge issue that affected a lot of people.
Workin' just fine down here in Texas. 4.7 inch 6 is fine and so is the iPad rMini. I haven't picked up my iPad Air yet, but will update it too before the night is over.
Agreed it was a debacle. That said, it would have taken a week for an Android device to have as high a penetration rate for an update that Apple got in an hour.
