6 and 6 Plus here in Australia - again no issues. (I didn't bother with 8.0.1 - don't know if thats relevant)
Victims? Seriously??? You make it sound like there was a murder
And in what way have you been giving this company a 'break for decades?' 'Always another workaround, another prayer for a fix'???
What in the world are you talking about?
Why so much hate?

Victims has a much larger range of definition than just the narrow extreme one you are proposing there.
What Sensationalism!
I was going to reply yesterday but decided that it wasn't worth it. But after reading the same crap here today I have to speak up.
First, yesterday's update wasn't pushed to anyone's iPhone. The ones who updated went looking for it, now if you had a busy schedule, or important business, and your time was so valuable, why the heck were you looking for an iPhone update? Checking your phone for updates, or surfing blogs for news with your valuable time??
Second, at one point people were throwing asinine numbers around about millions of bricked phones as a result of this update that wasn't pushed to iPhones and had been out only for maybe an hour and a half? What's sad about this part of the story is that MacRumors even published this ************ as news.
So, if you were one of the unfortunate few who grabbed the update first, don't keep bitching about it, yes it was a major inconvenience for you, shame on Apple. Big mistake! But come on early updates, you really had nothing better to do anyway.
Third, every cockroach is coming out from their hiding place regarding the bendable iPhone 6 Plus. Samsung, HTC, LG etc., oh, and the one that is nearly in the grave BlackBerry! Ha ha, they all look like losers to most reasonable people because a) a handful of large thin phones were abused and somehow the story was twisted by the wedding guy, and the other copycats who walked around for a few hours and they then pulled a rabbit out of their pocket. Or the fat ass who sat on it, and the person who treats a mini computer-communication device-with a large screen for your viewing pleasure cell phone like an Etch-A-Sketch!!
If you are worried about the Plus bending, and can't change your habits to adjust to a larger, more fragile phone, stick with the 6, or 5s, or a plastic piece of crap that Samsung makes. Just don't complain that it wasn't custom made to your personal liking, lifestyle and expectations.
Wow, what a society we have created for our children!
By the way, the iPhone 6 Plus is a beautiful phone, that is well built, and it outperforms the competition. I am not a fan boy, I have quite a few Apple products because they are the best in their class, and after my iPhone 5, i went with the HTC One, and HTC One M8 because at the time, they were the best in their class. Now, I am happily back to the best phone in the world.

Yeah, people should just shut up and be quiet when a publicly released update cripples their device. Seriously.
My sentiments exactly. SO many hours of my life, more like days or even weeks at this point, lost due to stuff not working.
And, like you, so many times swore I was done, but keep coming back. That Sony Z3 is looking better every day.
However, I spent literally ALL DAY Tuesday, just trying to get my 6 plus to sync with iTunes on my Mac. If stuff can't play nice together, it makes me afraid to even attempt to throw Android into the mix!
If I had updated to 8.0.1 (I almost did) and then had the cell/touchID issues, I'd have probably lost it and bent the damn thing right in half!
I also find the new A8 sluggish. My two year old iPhone 5 with iOS 6 feels much snappier. But I love that 6+ big screen too much to go back now.
Personally, since everything's finally working reasonably well for me on 8.0, I'm holding off on any updates til next week at least.
Yeah, idk man, and now when I take pictures they don't get saved to my photos app, I looked in the photos tab (years, collections, moments) and in my recently added album but nothing. It does show the photo in the bottom right preview thumbnail but not in the photos app at all........... :-<
Nobody forced you to buy an iPhone, and if it was supplied to you by your employer, then take it up with them.
On the upside, at least you get a fix in a reasonable amount of time. At least you aren't left in the dark as to what's happening.
Samsung released their OTA updates last year that bricked heaps of Galaxy S4's where I was working at the time, costed the company thousands, and guided them to iPhones....where's their headline or media fuss? Oh wait... Nobody really cared...not even enough to admit to it being an OTA update causing the failure.
I think you are taking a free stab at a company servicing millions of people, where a minority were affected.

Yeah, and the poor thing must be laid to rest now!
Telstra in Australia.
iPhone 6 updated OTA to 8.02.
Cellular and TouchID fine.
Are we being trolled here?
I think there might been a problem with the 8.0.2 OTA update initially... then apple may have realised it and fixed it. when I updated with the ipsw via itunes the 8.0.2 worked again, and subsequently people reported working 8.0.2 via OTA.
Oh yes. Great. Don't complain about a company, their products and their services, because nobody forced you to buy anything from them.
You are the perfect customer!
"Service hotline here, how can I help you?"
"Well, I have this product here that doesn't work anymore even though I paid $1000 for it."
"That is too bad. You know, nobody forced you to buy our products, right?"
"Oh yes. Sorry"
How do the people whose phone got messed up benefit from the fact that some other company has similar problems?
Apple products are not cheap. The reason why I am usually happy with paying a premium for these products is that I expect premium quality for premium prices. So pointing to a company that does not ask premium prices for their products and saying "Look, it happens to the cheap manufacturers too. They are just like Apple and Apple is just like them!" actually does the opposite of what you are trying to achieve.
A free stab? I am sure his iPhone was not free.
