According to that link there is only one IPSW for the iphone 6 Plus.
This really is shameful. How do these problems slip past quality assurance testing? I mean, really! Shameful. There's probably a lot of engineers sweating profusely at Apple right now, at least I sure hope so because if they aren't it means they are over-confident and/or just don't care. This has affected a LOT of people unnecessarily.
A couple of days? They need to get a fix out within the next few hours!!! Anything longer is simply unacceptable with so many of us with bricked phones.
Count me in that group of hosed users. No cell or touchID

This honestly isn't even funny. I know some dumb people, but I doubt any of us here are really that dumb.
All I can say is Apple QC is terrible these days. For a company that prides itself on delivering the best products in the market and claims it focuses on the best user experience, this kind of shoddy hw and sw testing is inexcusable.
This is just hubris, counting on the fact that you have a captive audience which isn't going anywhere.
How do you let an update like this go live without testing? Esp when all you have to test is 1 single device, unlike the hundreds of models Google/MS have to test when they do updates.

Steve called Jony Ive his "soul mate." I'm pretty sure he would've chosen Scott over Ive.
Either way, it wasn't just Ive that dislike Forstall - nearly all of the leadership disliked him as he was very difficult to work with.
I was able to restore my 6+ with the 8.0 IPSW file and everything is back. Once I downloaded the file, it didn't take long for the restore at all and it wasn't a destructive restore. Everything was still installed as before 8.0.1.
The update was sent to carriers for testing days ago. Not sure how this wasn't found, but it sounds like testing was done. Maybe someday we'll find out what happened to cause this.
I thank you for wasting your time on my not funny reply. And wasting my type replying to you. I really don't care what you consider funny.
Typed from my 6+ too. If you can't have a little fun, why live at all.
That's the question - were they given a phone with 8.0.01 already applied or did the carriers try to do an OTA like end users would? If they took the firmware and applied it the problem would not have surface.
Plenty of blame to go around - I am hoping Apple takes this as a lesson for their next release.
You should be able to click option-update instead of restore, then select the ipsw, and not have to do a full restore.
Hold on for an update. They must surely be able to get a fix out sometime today.
Just read about this again a bit ago. Ive and Mansfield BOTH couldn't be in a room with him. It said Ive wouldn't meet with him unless Cook was there to mediate. A lot of them were against Forstall. Ive was one of the two that were most against him.
