iOS 8.0.2


Apple is again in big trouble.

After a successful iPhone 6 launch, the company on Sept. 24 released an update to iOS 8 that was supposed to address issues its users were having. Instead, the update, iOS 8.0.1, left them without Apple's Touch ID fingerprint recognition feature and cellular support and forced Apple to pull its update before it affected too many users. It was a black mark on the company's otherwise superb last week, and it angered far more people than might be expected.

Those who don't live in the iOS world or didn't have a chance to download the update might be wondering what all the outcry is about. After all, for those folks, nothing changed, but for those who were affected by the update, everything is different. Fortunately for Apple, it was able to quickly get out a fix, iOS 8.0.2, but still the issues with 8.0.1 has brought up questions related to trust in Apple.
