One tweet mentioned a potential issue they were noticing and asked for more feedback. And the next tweet was in a more firm form essentially saying there's more confirmation that there's some issue that is likely present. Again, basic Twitter use when dealing with ongoing developments of something. What's exactly new or surprising or strange about it?The problem is that they posted two tweets basically saying the same thing in just 11 minutes.
Anyway yes they got me here to post a reply, they won
Just finished upgrade to iOS 8.0.2 with iTunes onto a new 64GB iPhone 6. Quick test shows that I still have AT&T cell signal and Touch ID is working. WOOO

It is in these little details that one realizes that Apple died with Steve Jobs. The King is dead, LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!
Updated my 6 Plus (Verizon), 4S (cellular disabled) and iPad 3 (Verizon) to 8.0.2. No problems at all.
Of course it was a trouble for the 40000 and my deepest sympathies for the issues they faced. But cmon give the company a break. I work in s/w development. **** Happens and I can bet quite a few developers did not go home yesterday and they fixed it today.
All I am saying is it does not warrant this:

Its like iPhone bending gone haywire. Its metal and if you apply enough force it will bend. Will it bend on normal use - probably not unless u sit ur ass on it or try to do something ridiculous. Basically things get overblown but if you put it in perspective AAPL ytday screwed up and it affected ~.004% owners. That %age is way less than the number of people who would go without food today. One day without phone would not have killed anybody. Hope those 40000 did better things like spend more time with friends and family in the past 24 hours
Big drama. More talk about not being able to talk than having anything of essence to warrant a call.
In the past, MacRumors NEWS articles weren't directly linked to Twitter posts. They would post an article, and if some major point of that article changed, they'd post an update. If a person posted a new twitter post that related to a MacRumors article, it would go in an "UPDATE: Someone had this to say about issue X" instead of creating a new article, thread, etc.
The issue is: MacRumors News Articles are directly linked to forum threads. If they are now creating a new article based on each individual twitter post, and then transmitting that into a new forum thread...
It's becoming click bait. If I wanted to use The Twitter, I would stay signed in and actually pay attention. I have used the Macrumors RSS feed since 2006 or so because it was a good source of new product rumors, tips, tricks, etc.
Not because I wanted 12 articles a day, many of which refer to the same issue.
Well obviously! Didn't you know that most hardware integrity issues are fixed with software updates? </kidding>
Is the Air working okay, I'm busting to update to 2 because mine is running really slow.
Weren't 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 supposed to make it so that third party keyboards can be used when entering the passcode or when quick replying from the lock screen? It's still not letting me do that
That may be intentional, as 3rd Party Keyboards have the ability to record everything typed into them, and stored on their private servers so their system can "learn" what you type better as you use it.
