Thank god no one actually uses smartphones to make calls anymore. Apple has
been pushing out an update to its new iOS 8 operating system for iPhones that
fixes some bugs from the initial release, but is leaving some people without
phone service.
MacRumors.com reports that some iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users who updated to iOS
8.0.1 are complaining — and rightfully so — that their phones now say “No
Service” in spite of being in areas served by their wireless carriers.
Additionally, users say the Touch ID fingerprint sensor no longer works after
the update.
It looks like the connection issue was only occurring with the new devices.
Previous generations of iPhones and iPads appear to have been unaffected by the
update.
Apple pulled the update and will hopefully be issuing a fix soon.
The 8.0.1 update was intended to offer several improvements, like allowing apps
to take advantage of the HealthKit feature, and fixes for bugs involving photo
uploading, messaging, and third-party keyboards.
