You are within the 2 weeks. Return it. Did you want jobs fired when you couldn't hold the iPhone 4 because the signal kept dropping. Did you want to fire jobs for maps screwing up. People need to stop complaining over stupidness. Always find something to complain about.

OP lost me when he brought in the whole bending issue and yada yada. Obviously he's not experiencing it himself, and are just reading what's out there which affected less than 10 people!
Yes, new OS with a complete rewrite behind the scenes will have some bugs. Bugs are not new in the software world - but luckily, we now live in a time where they can be updated over the air vs. having to wait for GM, and driving to a store to pick up a new CD.
If you are experiencing issues, report them to Apple via the Feedback loop like a productive citizen instead of sitting here bitching and stomping your feet.

I am sure the people of Africa who have to walk miles a day for some water that will probably make them more sick will be arranging a charity single for this terrible tragedy of people who feel their phone buzz thinking it's a text when It is just an e-mail. Imagine if it carried on. Over the years literally 1 minute would be wasted.
Why are we even on this site or on the Internet at all when there are much important world issues to deal with?! Why do we even bother eating or sleeping or doing anything at all while those important issues exist and we shouldn't be doing anything at all until they are all addressed?!
I come here every day for my free cookies. I ticked yes to enabling cookies but still waiting.
I find a sad that the OP comes here to see if anyone else is experiencing the problems/bugs he has but gets an angry mob denying there's anything wrong. people should really stop defending apple for putting out a buggy OS. If this was MSFT, I'd bet there would be a witch hunt.
Lol this has to be a troll right? The iPhone six and 6+ did what 10 million units over the long weekend? Yeah Don't see that restructuring anytime soon lol.
I just love how all these Apple fans stick they're head in the sand when it comes to their precious iPhones. Sure it's a real phenomenal smartphone, but it isn't the best they can give us. There are many easily correctable features missing that were available on my Palm Treo!
My iPhone 5s is pretty amazing, but they won't do anything about the many little shortcomings it has, and won't give anybody the options to change anything which may be to advanced for the average simpleton.

Aggressive and violent !!!!??? What are u talking ? He just spent a lot on a phone that promised so much and it better deliver what they promised. Its fair enough even if he makes it worse.
i agree. i didn't sense any aggressiveness or anything like that. apple internet defenders, pls stop. let's not pretend there are no major bugs in ios8. look at the thread about ios8 bugs. it's a train wreck the the worse part is some people have no issues and some do. it's hard to narrow down the root cause.
Dude chill... I understand your issues.. I don't know about the keyboard landscape thing.. But others iM not experiencing even 1 of them on my 4S...
I would suggest you to go on iTunes and restore your phone.. Glitches in software can occur.. When u take a backup, this time try to take it on the PC itself and restore it from that backup, then normally backup on icloud after that...
((But before that.. Try using your phone till 0% battery till it shuts down .. Then charge it till 100%.. See if ur issues still occur.. If they do, then do the above restore..))
There's no point to fire Tim Cook cause these are the best phone yet.. Ios 8 is surely a little bad then ios 7 but hey! Ios 7.1 was the one that made it good with faster animations and all .. So chill ..
Mostly the restore should solve your problem if everything other doesn't..
The topic title of both threads and how the first post is worded indicate aggressiveness. Chill out.
This. Apple customers expect Apple products to "just work" because we pay a large premium for Apple products to "just work." I rely on my iPhone as my sole telephone, and I rely on my iPad and MacBook for work; they MUST "just work." We also expect our products to be supported with OS updates for about 3 update cycles. So I pay way more than for a low-end Windows laptop+Android phone+Android tablet. That's the bargain: Apple gets my money, and I get devices and software that "just work" and will receive a few updates of an OS that "just works."
A reasonable conclusion would be that the iPhone release schedule caused the new iOS to be released into the wild when it was not ready. This situation was very easily avoidable. If Apple needs more beta testers, then I suggest they open a public beta for iOS like they have for OS X. People who want to be on the cutting edge can help debug iOS. Heck, Apple could pay "bounties" in app Store credits for discovering bugs. What a deal! Then, when it really "just works," Apple can release the OS to the general public. I expected iOS 8 to be well out of beta, but the huge number of bugs I've run into on my iPhone and iPad are clear evidence that it was not. Apple: please don't push betas on the general user population.
If the OTA updates are the problem, then Apple needs to just abandon the concept and make people do the tether, backup, wipe, install new OS, restore dance. Problem solved.
Furthermore, the slowdown that's been described on iPad 2, iPhone 4s, and iPad Mini is unacceptable. Apple should have either warned users of those devices that they ran the risk of significantly slower speeds, or just have said they were beyond the last OS support date. To push updates that would severely slow down the devices isn't nice, and Apple should at least publish how to downgrade for users unhappy with decreased performance.
On the hardware quality of the new phones---I do not like the look and feel of the iPhone 6, but that's a purely aesthetic issue on my part. But if you put out some super-thin phone, it's pretty obvious it can be bent. Here's a case where product design decisions are questionable. If your phone is so thin it requires a case for structural support, your phone is too thin.
Steve was dead when Maps was introduced. Maybe Cook will refire Forstall. That worked so well the first time
Maybe Apple has to have a disclaimer before any update stating the possibility of something going awry and having a backup available.
As far as the slight lag on the iPad 2 I'm willing to live with it. My choice for a new o/s with new features. Slight, not significant.
As far as bending, every phone on this earth will bend or shatter with enough force. It's obvious the 6, 5s and 5 can be bent and as I said every other phone as well.
Tact not topic
It wasn't the reporting of the bugs that has people going at him, its the manner at which he is doing it. The forums are full of posts reporting bugs or glitches, but no one is coming down on those people.
OP's method of posting was to list a laundry list of issues, then grandstand about the general downfall of Apple as a result and call for the firing of a CEO that just had his greatest "coming into his own" moment since taking over. Then he freely offered that his post on the issue was removed from Apple Support Forums due to his aggressive position. If his post was purely a feedback/bug reporting post rather than an editorial on the state of Apple I doubt it would have been pulled down.

The OP's post is written with a lot of passion. If that same intensity was posted at ASC it probably would be removed.
Last year when Toshiba SSD's were failing prematurely on MBA there was a lengthy thread. People were asking for assistance with the question mark folder. The thread went on for pages. Posts were courteously worded.
One poster with a peculiar handle was jumping all over people with failed SSDs insisting that Toshiba drives don't fail. It was quite annoying. Posts were reported but not removed.
At one point I asked the person if they worked for Toshiba. I posed the question because the poster inserted a lot of technical jargon in the useless posts.
My post was removed. The reason specified by Apple was that my post was not strictly technical. I had no issue with that. I reviewed the terms for my own information.
People who continued to seek support on the thread suggested to new posters that they not respond to the annoying individual.
The screwball persisted aggressively posting to people with failed SSD's even after Apple issued a recall on them. That members posts were not removed.
I do get the impression that ASC is not a technically oriented as it was under Steve. There is another agenda there in addition to support.
ACS remains extremely helpful for tech support. I think it's one of Apple's strengths.
I did enjoy it a lot more when it was maintained strictly as tech support and foolish chit chat was not entertained. Goes without saying that the chit chat must be strongly pro Apple.
Maybe if you hadn't posted something so dense and bait-y, you wouldn't have been banned.
Just sayin'
