Apple Creates Workaround After iOS 8 Update Problems
Operating system update was briefly rolled out today.
— -- Apple has released a workaround for iPhone users who lost "cellular service and Touch ID functionality" after installing the newest update to iOS 8.
The company said in a statement today affected users could reinstall iOS 8 using iTunes. The problems plagued users who installed iOS 8.0.1, which Apple pulled Wednesday.
"We apologize for the great inconvenience experienced by users, and are working around the clock to prepare iOS 8.0.2 with a fix for the issue, and will release it as soon as it is ready in the next few days,” read the statement.
Since it was released last week, Apple's iOS 8 has been hailed for its aesthetics but seems to be plagued by bugs for some users. Some took to Twitter to complain about the issues they say they've experienced.
Slow download speeds, sluggish performance and problems with both Apple's native keyboard and third-party keyboards were among some of the most common issues noted by users.
