iOS 8.0.1 Causing No Service, Touch ID Issues on iPhone 6/6 Plus, Apple Support Recommends iTunes Restore

Apple must be trying really hard to take away the botched updates award from Microsoft.

You are seriously missing the point. Aluminum is known to bend if pressure is applied in various situations. Plastic will crack. What part of DON"T SIT ON YOUR PHONE do you not get? If you sit in a curved chair with all your weight on top of your aluminum phone, it will bend. It's not rocket science.

Aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, whatever. I don't know, I don't care.

People put phones in their pockets. Common use case. It's the designer's job to pick the right materials, not mine.

You can choose to be an Apple apologist. I prefer to hold them to a standard that is at least equal to their competitors. And no, I am not talking about specs.
 
Went on iTunes, shift-clicked update and pointed it to 8.0. No biggie, back to normal. Still messed up and I was near a computer. Not everybody is.


Big mess Apple!
 
Tell me about it. Spent 4 hours downloading the 2gb file. Now not sure which back-up is what so going with the most recent. Hopefully it won't bork my phone again. Annoying, but in future I'll read up elsewhere before I download. Normally I do download via iTunes, second time a OTA update has screwed my phone.

But evaluated within the greater context which includes bend-gate and camera-gate, the evidence seems to be mounting that attention to quality is just not there.

Agreed.

Their software QA seems to be degrading too, IMO. There will always be bugs, but the quality of iOS8 seems lower than other releases.

You don't have to restore. Shift-click update and it will keep everything intact.

You are really out there! Phones are not designed to be SAT ON! Not one phone is designed for that. Placed in pocket yes, SAT ON...NO!

I had to go the long way round to do it. :eek:

Reason being I restored my phone, then it wouldn't download 8.0 so I had to enter DFU mode and go the proper way about it again.
 
No Computer

Could I log into my boyfriends computer and do it from there? I don't want his apps or anything like that to go onto my phone.:eek:

And Apple deserves everything they get in this case. They are their own worst enemy right now.

Amen.

I don't understand why the phone has to be as thin as it is. (Same with iMacs.) From the surface, it seems that it would have better to make the phone thicker. If nothing else you could give users better battery life. Or build in some structural re-enforcements.

This fixation with making things thin is like hardware anorexia. Make it thinner at the expense of everything else. Including its own well being.
 
So 8.0.1 downloaded to my iP6 but I stopped it from updating.....chose the "Later" option. Is this going to kick off on its own later? Any way to prevent?

*Edit

Deleted it. Nvm
 
This is embarrassing, I did not want to have to fight off droid fans today. Is apple testing us?
