Well, the sad reality is that even though this is far from ideal, if other consumers are like me, their experiences with other companies have been worse.
That's where the real rub of it is. For all the errors and mistakes, Apple is still miles (in my opinion, for anyone about to jump in and argue with me, you can have your own opinion but this is mine!) better than the competition.
DO NOT UPDATE TO 8.0.1. Apple has pulled that version, I will not host it even if I had it. The files won't be verified by apple servers anyway so it wont update it.
Oh yeah thats right. I will just go back to 8.0.
Thank you so much! File is almost done downloading.
So disappointed Apple....
Yeah, no doubt.
Bend-gate
Camera-gate
8.0.1.
The maps thing was completely forgivable from my perspective. First release, the issues were mainly data related (which was sourced from an external vendor anyway) and was fixable over time. Yet for the maps fiasco, they fired Scott Forstall.
Bend-gate is hardly fixable via an OS update. And I am not sure about camera-gate but that might not be a software/firmware issue either.
Extremely bad showing for a company that had many moons of time to design (and many examples to learn from) a proper phablet.
With all due respect, try buying a Microsoft computer. Not a Dell or HP running Windows, but a Microsoft PC running Windows (e.g. the surface). Microsoft's support is arguably better than Apple's, although they have fewer retail stores, and they released 8.1.1 for my phone today, which didn't brick my phone.
That's a matter of personal opinion, I think its an awesome device.
That's a fact!
The problem is that OTA updates are always deltas. This is why people who applied the 8.0.1 ipsw seem to have fixed their devices without reverting.
If the iPhone 6 deltas were bad, they'd still risk pushing more bad deltas with "8.0.2".
I don't understand this rationale. Everybody else sucks so therefore Apple's laying a giant egg with iPhone 6+/iOS 8.0.1 is completely forgivable?
I do agree that, in many people's minds, Apple is miles beyond others. Opinions are fine. But when you look at the facts, I really don't know if there is evidence to support that opinion.
And no, I am not generally an Apple-hater. My household has 4 macs, 3 ipads and 3iphones currently. I was all set to upgrade to iPhone 6 but between the camera issues, the bending issues and so on, I am wondering if Apple standards for quality have just completely gone down the toilet.
CoasterGhost, I followed your instructions and they were perfect. I got all they way through the restore and started syncing my phone but then it timed out.
It's right in the middle of restoring all my apps, music, etc but is just spinning and says the phone timed out.
What should I do now?? Will it restart syncing if I just leave it hooked up. Never had one time out before..
Thanks for your help!!
No, the carrier is nothing more than a dumb pipe. iOS software updates originate from Apple, not the carrier.
Restart the phone, let it download, there will be a button under settings once the update is verified that says install now, don't hit it
Yup. Now both my iPad mini and iPhone 6 are in that state. Thx.
Yeah. I did that later. First reaction was turn off all radios.
B
My iPhone downloaded the update but it won't install (I think they blocked it). How to delete it from the "Software Update"?? Ugh
Once they identified the problem, they will make the delta claim "these files are 100% different" nothing is going to screw up.
Odd, hmm I would say to unplug via USB and then replug it in. It should continue, but I am not sure. Anyone else can confirm my idea?
How the hell is sitting on your phone causing it to bend an Apple problem? Are you folks serious?
Yeah, just don't put it in your pocket and sit down. (Or leave it on your bed accidentally and roll over it while you sleep.)
And don't expect it to take consistently good pictures.
Go to Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage from there click the update and you can delete it in the window that pops up.
Well, Apple can frame the discussion that way. But the reality is, the samsung phones don't have this issue.
