From iOS 8.01 to 8.0.2: iPhone Update Plagued By Bugs; Apple Scrambles to Make Fixes
Apple's latest operating system for mobile devices, iOS 8, is already having issues. The company tried to release a quick update to fix some of those issues on Wednesday, but that too had issues.
To recap: Apple tried to help out the people who complained about iOS 8. They thought by releasing an iOS 8.01 with some bug fixes they could solve those issues. That quickly was proven wrong, and Apple had to scramble to delete the iOS 8.01 update from their network. Now some people are having trouble downgrading back to iOS 8.
The update to 8.01 was supposed to fix users' inability to access the Health app. It may have helped access that app, but it caused problems with other areas of the phone. Now, Apple is saying something along the lines of "scratch 8.01, we will release an 8.02."
Hopefully 8.02 is out soon but not too soon. We saw what happened with 8.01. The company is saying in the "next few days," but it probably will not occur over the weekend. Expect the update to come early next week.
In the meantime, if you upgraded to 8.01, Apple is providing instructions on how to downgrade back down to iOS 8. It is better to wait until Apple gets this issue resolved before doing any software upgrades. Keep an eye on your settings and click "software update" to see if an update is available to you, but make sure Apple confirms that it is an approved update before you go through with the update.
Health App: Let's hope that Apple can get this Health app incorporated soon. The iPhone 6 was definitely made for this app, but without support for it, there is no way to prove it. Apple needs to get the Health app out soon so that iPhone 6 users can start using the pedometers and all the other new sensors built into the iPhone 6.
What do you think about all of these iOS errors for Apple? Do you think that Apple will address the problems quickly, or will they continue to have problems? Leave us a comment in the comments section below and let us know what you think.
