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.......

If you had actually done that, I'm sure the store employees would have called the cops and you would be paying for a new phone, in addition to criminal charges for property damage.
 
Looks like the update blew away all my Steps data from Heath. Not something that will ruin my week but kind of a bummer, I hope future updates aren't going to do that. Updates shouldn't delete user data without a user's permission, period. Maybe Apple considers steps "their" data and not user data but to me that means HealthKit becomes suspicious and not useful.
 
iPhone6
8.0 > 8.0.2
OTA
Update took <10mins
Seems fine. Can make calls, cellular data is fast and touchID works as well.
 
40000 sounds a big number.

Least PR team could do it is divide by 10+ million and say less than ~.005% users were affected. Makes it little less scary..:rolleyes:

Either ways for the sake of humanity and you guys testing the new update!!

But that would be a lie. 0.005% of ten million users would be 500.

If he buys the phone you can't be charged for property damage. It's one or the other.
 
WiFi issues

OK, about an hour after the update I've started seeing random WiFi issues. Disconnecting and upon attempting to re-connect I'm seeing "cannot scan WiFi" messages. 6 Plus.

Apple!!!!! GRRRR!!!!!


EDIT: A reboot seems to fix it, at least for a short time....

I've got this same problem. The steps data is still there, but instead of having the phone as source, now has "Health" as source, as if you added it in yourself. Note that if you add steps, it doesn't seem to count them either.

This appears to be a bug in 8.0.2, unless I'm missing something.
 
iPhone 6 with 8.0.2 is working better for me

Just adding my experience to the pile...

I didn't upgrade my iPhone 6 to 8.0.1 when it came out, but even with the stock 8.0.0 that came pre-installed on the phone I had seen the No Service message come up repeatedly while in my house. I had never seen this with any previous iPhones, including an iPhone 5 that was running the iOS 8 beta. My wife's iPhone 6 (also running 8.0.0) also showed the No Service message repeatedly in our house.

Installed 8.0.2 last night, and so far I haven't seen the No Service message. Touch ID works fine, and my battery life is great.
 
The update downloaded to my iPhone 6 (16GB) but after verifying the update it comes back with "Unable to Install Update". Anyone have an idea of why that is happening?
 
8.0.2 (on iPad Retina Mini)

A few things were fixed that weren't listed-

Fixed the Safari Offline Reading List issue. You can now access Reading List pages offline.

Fixed the "Share" menu order issue. If you re-arrange the share menu items to you liking, the order is now retained.

Keyboard shortcuts now work.

Wifi is faster for me than under iOS 7. Over 22 down where it was consistently ~ 15 before.
 
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?

Seriously? The 4 dropped calls if you touched it wrong, the 3G had a recessed earphone jack that sent angry millions out to buy new headphones or special jacks. The laptops burned up. It goes on and on. And just try to delete old texts taking up space they prevent updates. Have you seen that workaround? You must be from another planet if you're oblivious to all the backflips necessary to work these iPhones.
Victimized is how I felt after parting with $400 Sunday and spending all day Wednesday trying to get phone service. But I'm the fool here for sticking by this workaround, backflip company for all these years. Are you in this forum because you're looking for a fix or workaround or just to piss on those who are? This battery issue has gone on since day one and we're still hoping against hope over a decade later. But will Apple simply put a battery door on the phone? Amateurs! The best iPhone review I read was on CNet, "iPhone has a lot of really neat features, but none of them work very well."
 
Folks you can still downgrade to 7.1.2 on the other phones. I will wait until next month before I commit to this rushed release.
 
No updates for me for a month or so. I was one of yesterday's iPhone 6 casualties. #. What an ordeal. I want those 4 hours back Apple. Hmmm, I just realized how very often I've said those words over the last decade. I must be a masichist for buying this 6. Swore time and again I was done with Apple then ran right out and bought it. What's up with that? Just too lazy to learn another device I guess.
My WiFi has been speedy and steady here at home but won't find WiFi networks at all when out and about. ## Battery life is definitely much worse than my old 4S, however, with Safari being the big hog at 51%. Probably from reading all these posts because I've certainly turned off every feature. I'm quite unimpressed with this A8 chip. It's noticeably quite sluggish comparatively on many levels.

You got a bad phone then. Sluggish comparatively? As opposed the the 4s? And battery worse than 4s? Dude sorry to inform you but something is seriously wrong with your hardware then. Or you need to restore fresh. I just went from a 4s and its a world of difference. Wife waiting on her iP6 and still using her 4s and its SO much difference both in battery and performance. So sounds like you need to restore or return it for exchange if you are serious.

BTW updated iP6 Verizon via iTunes from 8 to 8.0.2 all is well and fast update (once the download finished). 4s updated OTA and all is well there too. Seems both are even more responsive now.
 
Is anyone having an issue with iTunes repeatedly popping up asking to do an upgrade to 8.0.2 even after the fact ?

I updated thru iTunes and it still shows 8.0 and keeps asking me to upgrade.

On the phone it is 8.0.2 :confused:

Device : iP6 + / 64GB / SG
Carrier : TMO
 
The update downloaded to my iPhone 6 (16GB) but after verifying the update it comes back with "Unable to Install Update". Anyone have an idea of why that is happening?

Well it finally took and promptly crapped out. It's now telling me to connect to iTunes and do a full restore first. That sucks, especially considering I'm at work. :mad:
 
It doesn't take much to bend the 6 plus. I was at the apple store today and all of the display models are already bent from people playing with them. The 6 plus bending is a very big issue.

******** (BS) they are troll, and if they are it's from trolls like you purposely bending them. Probably on samsungs payroll.

It takes ALOT of deliberate pressure to bend one.
 
Okay. I've been doing it over wifi both home and at work because I don't want to download a software update over LTE. I could try that, but even if it does work through LTE, that won't really do me any good over the long run because I don't have unlimited LTE data.

Once you are able to login on LTE then it will work seemlessly. Atleast that is what happened for me. I kept getting Invalid Password error on WiFi even though same password worked on my Mac for iCloud. So I just switched to LTE and logged in and now it works fine even on WiFi.
