One day after a bungled iOS update disrupted key features on thousands of iPhones, Apple on Thursday issued a follow-on version of the software to set things right.
The newest update, iOS 8.0.2, is available immediately. The bruise to Apple's public image -- also dinged in the last few days by the discovery that its iPhone 6 Plus can be bent -- may take longer to heal.

People may give Apple hell for this, but it has far less holes than when Microsoft relases a new Windows. That's for sure.
For the record I use a Dell Laptop with Windows 7. Both products have their issues and both products work great IMO.
Question: I have a new iPad Air and just so you know who you’re dealing with, I am a complete computer DORK. (Translation - Old woman.)
So late last night I get this alert of an update. I don’t give it a second thought; I download the update because I figured it was something they created to protect me from the virus type problem recently reported attacking Apple.
About an hour later I get this notification that someone using my password signed me up for some instant messenger set up. Said if I wasn’t the person who did it I should change my password. Well, to my knowledge I didn’t sign up so I got worried.
I tried to change it via email... They said they’d send me one... but one never arrived. So then I chose the security questions route but they told me my birth date was incorrect! Excuse me? I may be a little dippy sometimes but I still know my birth date! I blew it off and went to bed. Should I be worried??
Thanks for any help you can provide!
My advice would be to wait a week til the dust settles on this one.
The email you received may have been from the update you downloaded? .
I have had Apple products for about 5 years now. I never got a virus vs. my Microsoft PC where I did.
If I were you I would at least go to your iPad Air “settings”, then “General”, then “software update” and install it. It will take about 15 minutes. Just keep an eye on it.
That way you will have the latest, greatest protection on your iPad Air.
That was 8.0.1 and not 8.0.2
Yeah that’s 2 major screw ups from the same guy. I’m surprised he is still employed?
iOS 8.0.2 Available for Download, Still Glitchy for Some
Unfortunately, iOS 8.0.2 seems to have required more work as customers in Australia are still reporting issues with the update.
Redditor Onoj88 writes, “DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE! I just updated to 8.0.2 and my touch ID is now completely broken! Phone will no longer unlock using my fingerprint. When I go to add a new finger i get a "Touch ID Failed" message. Running a 128GB iPhone 6 plus. Very disappointed....” “Upon hard reset I am now getting ‘No service.’ Did they change this at all? When i check for updates it says I am running 8.0.2 but it seems to have all the issues of 1?”
Sounds like a Phishing email to me. Phishing attemps try to get you to go to their website and "log in" or "change your password" (which includes entering your old passowrd) which is then stolen and can be used to gain access to other websites.
Too many people (myself included) use the same password for a bunch of different sites, and those sites also use your email address as your user name.
Once someone has your email address and password, they can access accounts such as PayPal which use your email address as your login name.
I now make unique passwords for each of my important (shopping, PayPal, bank, email accounts) websites.
As for the “touch ID” I do not have it on the iPhone 5 or the iPad Air.
So far everything appears to work fine.
For the record I use a Dell Laptop with Windows 7. Both products have their issues and both products work great IMO.
So, Microsoft is more buggy, but the products running Microsoft work great?
That is the Apple cult mentality on display, folks!
I criticize them for following microsoft’s lead in releasing garbage software to the public. For the bending, that’s the fault of the user. The iphone is a complex sophisticated electronic device. It should be handled with care, not put in a hip pocket or sat on.
To Apple's credit, they rolled out a new version with fixes in about a day. Yet that doesn't satisfy the caterwauling spoiled brats who were inconvenienced because Yelp crashed on them when they were trying to locate a Starbucks in their area or they couldn't Instagram the Lemoncello Cream Torte that they had for dessert at the Cheesecake Factory to their 57 "get a life" followers.
What these overprivileged twerps don't seem to realize is that the iPhone is an incredibly sophisticated device and the software running it is enormously complex. The engineering achievement of the iPhone makes the 1969 moon landing look like cavemen inventing the wheel by comparison.
Apple's achievement in the consumer product arena over the past 15 years is nothing short of epic. If you took an iPhone 6 back to 1969, when we were landing a primitive spacecraft on the moon, it would seem like it came from a far advanced civilization several galaxies away. More computing power and software code exists in an iPhone than what all of NASA had at their disposal back in 1969. In fact, all those white-shirted, crew-cutted, skinny black tied NASA folks could have stayed home on that day back on July 20, 1969. Some 19-year-old kid could have been running the entire moon landing on an iPhone app from his mother's basement while simultaneously listening to a Guns N Roses album and playing Angry Birds on the same device.
People just don't respect Apple and what they have achieved.
A soon as you start deriding your customers for not using your products “correctly,” you have confirmed that you are the problem. Not even Apple is immune to the laws of capitalism. If your product can’t be used the way the consumer wants (you can’t put a CELLPHONE in your POCKET?!?!? Kinda defeats the purpose...), the consumer will find a product that will. And that’s regardless of what Apple or its fanbois hope or say...
Has anyone else heard of Poe’s law? I’m honestly not sure if your post is satire or serious. Replace Apple with any other manufacturer, and your post would be greeted with howls of derisive laughter. Seriously, re-read what you wrote objectively. You are honestly calling the CONSUMER stupid for not appreciating a product that doesn’t work the way they want it to? On Free Republic (a bastion of capitalist thought)? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills (/Mugatu)...
Anybody who understands software knows that it is a very complex set of instructions and that "bugs" are inevitable, especially in the beta phase and immediately upon general release (because a beta can't catch everything).
So they line up to be the "first" ones to purchase a product or download a new version and then complain that it wasn't completely perfect.
The previous version of iOS works just fine for those who don't have the patience for a glitch or two. The new version is not forced upon anybody. In fact, it took me 6 months to get around to upgrading to the latest OS on my MacBook.

No complaints of other phones bending?
Yes the apple phone is not very thick.
Apples mechanical specifications must not be very thick.
At this minute in Cupertino, some thick headed engineers/managers are being worked over.
#16 But does it bend? : )
This looks like a really good phone. http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3-6294.php
It supports the 1700/2100 freqs that T-Mobile uses. My Samsung Galaxy S4 cannot receive a signal very well in the office I work in with T-Mobile but my co-workers Nokia 1025 can easily receive data and voice using the same carrier. He gets 10mb download speed whereas I get if anything maybe 400k. Outdoors it gets up to 39mb. At home I get 12 to 20mb.
LG G3 D851 for T-Mobile is over $600. I am currently paying $30 a month with my paid for Samsung Galaxy S4. If I sell it I might get $300 to $375. I will wait for the price of the LG phone to come down.
I am at Ebay and see prices much much lower.
