An update that affects cellular network functions on a phone?
That's normal, happens all the time.
Not.

I had a good laugh thanks to your first paragraph
It's true, being on holiday should be about not being reachable for and thinking about work. Normally I wouldn't mind (apart from not being able to navigate the island now, back to the old fashioned way of using a map), but I've just started another company and I need to be reachable. I certainly know how good I have it and these are definitely first world problems, but that doesn't mean I can't be very disappointed by this situation.I was so crazy to drive to another country to buy the iPhone 6 just before my holiday as when I would return it most likely would even be sold out for weeks in my own country. Everyone on this forum who has an iPhone has paid lots of money for it, so when Apple brings out an update which takes away your cellular network with no way of turning it back on, that's a serious failure on their part. And especially when they say it will take them days to create a fix. That's just unacceptable for a multibillion dollar company.
My restore went fine and all my settings seem ok, back to iOS 8.0 but the sync downloading my apps, music, photo's, etc is just freezing during the sync.
Nothing done in the last 10 hours.
Should I pull the plug, close iTunes, reopen and try again?? Or will that screw up the sync? Never had this happen before (freeze during sync).

Apple realise this is a monumental cockup and are clearly working to fix it.
There's a work around and there's support out there for those that need it. No point pointing fingers and continuously blaming someone for something that's already happened.
End of the day, its a phone. Get over it and move on.

Living in Tim's Post-PC era.. but having to use iTunes on a Mac/PC to Downgrade?
I'm an avid Apple follower, but this is an absolute joke. Think I'll be without Service and Touch ID for 48 hours now. I don't have access to a Mac/PC because of my job. I'll have to hope the Apple Store will allow me to do it.
Unbelievable.

Elaborate please
I'm not putting down the new language itself, it feels a new way to invite younger developers to the Mac/iOS World, but I have expected they would focus more effort on improving Objective-C instead of future bashing it!
Why are people complaining about the antenna bands? They are no worse than on the 5S (I'd argue improved even). They break the continuity of the back, sure, but so does the Apple logo and all the little text.
Objective-C was just C with bits baked into it which works great. The beauty here is you have a choice that you can use either. Swift Definately is more modern in its syntax and safer too. Good for new comers to programming IMO
This has been a PR catastrophe of AppleMaps scale.
Bent phones (questionable engineering), bricked phones (questionable software), iCloud breach; lack of control over design, engineering and cloud from Cook. He may be good in logistics and large multicountry launches, but the iPhone division has to look very hard on what they're doing.

I remember not too long ago everyone survived just fine without mobile phones....funny how times change.
It's also good for old programmers who have tasted more modern languages... Honestly, I did C 20 years ago, I had no desire to go back to it. Objective-C managed to bring OOP into C, which was a good thing. But now, it also has to integrate functional programming and its age is beginning to show.
It's the same with Java, which is my background language, once you have tasted to Scala or Ruby, you really don't want to go back to Java.
The problem with sticking new concepts into an old language like Java or Objective-C is that it begins to look quite ugly and unnatural past some point. It's best to move to a language where this concepts are part of the core and just feel natural.
Besides, Swift runs faster, is more type safe yet retains the feel of dynamism...
So the 8.0.1 bugs are only on the 6/6+? I downloaded it yesterday on my 5S and my phone has been working fine. Better than 8.0.
So you think I should send smoke signals to my clients instead? I'll give it a go...
So I'm interested to know, if your broadband cut off for 2 weeks cause of a fault, would you say the same thing? Get over it?
What if your phone was your only means of contact? And now it doesn't work, what if you have a sick relative and the only means of contact for news is your phone and not messageing, what if you have a car crash on your own and you can't call for help..
All of a sudden its not a simple first world problem you can simply 'get over'
Syria is being bombed...
and people are worried about the iPhone 6 Plus bending? Software updates on their phone that have gone awry?
FWP of epic proportions.
**** happens. Today is a new day. There's nothing that can't be fixed and even with everything that's happened, I would still trust Apple over Google any day of the week with my data.

HOLY COW! How does an update that disables cellular on your flagship products pass through Quality Assurance? If they miss that, OMG, what other more trivial testing are they missing?
To be fair this is far more serious than a mistake. It's utter negligence and incompetence from Apple.
