Zero doubt that Steve would keep Ive over Forstall. I've read reports Steve "put up with" Forstall.
Got a tip for us?

Just FYI, you don't have to put your phone in Airplane mode... just shut off WiFi. OTA iOS updates won't/can't happen over a cellular signal.
If you use iTunes, downloading is totally unnecessary, JUST DRAG THE 8.0 .IPSW FROM THE TRASH/RECYCLE BIN. if it doesn't show, just search for .ipsw
This is why I always do a "download only" with iTunes whenever there's an update, then I have the full .ipsw for previous versions of iOS.
Alternately, you could get the 8.0 .ipsw via TimeMachine, assuming you use TimeMachine backup.
I hate where the internet and forums have gone, have to weed through hundreds of reactionary comments to get to anything valid.
Went to Verizon because I had no idea others were also experiencing this problem. Got a new SIM card yet still did not work properly. Rolled back to iOS 8.0.0 and no problems.
Get your act together, Tim Cook and rest of the Apple team. Seems like Cupertino is in such a rush to roll out products / software that QC/QA is pointing downward.

Yes, but it has been adopted and become the 'standard' suffix to attach to a scandal of some sort. The etymology of the 'gate' suffix doesn't matter, it's more of a symbolic and well recognised way of identifying or labelling a scandal of some sort. But I agree that it's just being thrown around lightly to anything, especially here on MacRumors since Apple's "Antennagate".
Try again, your technology partners (carriers) are not there for QA. At the most, their job is to certify that the particular update works with that particular carrier. There are 2 reasons why this is Apple's fault, 1: multiple carriers are affected and 2: other components such as Touch ID have also broken.
This speaks to the mentality of Apple's development and QA as a whole.
The last thing anybody should do is listen to Apple Support when a release is this new. They aren't educated ahead of time and can only make a best-guess, which is no better than most of us here could do.
The problem with a bricked iPhone 6/+ is that's it's not even heavy enough to be used as a doorstop or boat anchor anymore.
Theres already an iOS 8.0.1 pick me up song. http://9to5mac.com/2014/09/24/theres-already-an-ios-8-0-1-pick-me-up-song/
Since the affected phones are iPhone 6's, which came with 8.0, most of us wouldn't have ipsw's on our desktop.
Ive was Steve's guy not Tim's guy. There's no way Ive alone could get Forstall fired. And for all we know Forstall was a different employee when Jobs was there and changed after Steve died.
Interesting hypothesis. Really, really interesting. It could be as simple as a couple of "flags" being wrongly disabled for some builds.
I hope they explain what happened just because I bet many are curious.

The reason I have thought that is because celluar/touch I.D are two of the main things to disappear. No iPad at the moment has those features. Maybe they got mixed up some how.
