iPhone woes mount as Apple pulls iOS 8 software update - VIDEO
This is the second major issue to arise with Apple's newest iPhone since it was launched on Friday - making it the most troubled new product release since the iPhone 4 and 'antennagate.'This weekend, some iPhone 6 users reported that their devices bent after just a few hours in their pockets. Apple has declined to comment on the issue. However, the company acted quickly to pull iOS 8.0.1 from the Apple store when users began reporting the problems within minutes of its release today. The glitch appears to effect only the newest iPhones - not iPhone 5C or 5S or older models. Apple users on all cellular networks in the U.S., Britain and Canada were reporting problems after updating their operating systems, MacRumors.com reports. The company scrambled to issue a workaround in the iTunes store for users whose brand new phones were rendered all but useless by the update.Apple announced that it was investigating the glitch, but in the meantime recommended that owners of affected iPhones restore their devices by connecting to iTunes.Angry users took to Twitter to report the bug and vent their frustrations. One user wrote: 'iOS 8.0.1 has broken my phone! No service and no touchid. #apple #Help #iOS8 #ios8bugs.''I would call Apple for an answer on this issue. But hang on I can't. NO SERVICE!!!' another said. The newest iteration of the iPhone broke records this weekend - selling 10million models after its release on Friday. This is the second major flaw to his the phone before its first week on the market. It emerged today that the iPhone 6 is susceptible to bending when carried in a pants pocket - even just a handful of hours. Apple has refused to comment on 'bendgate' - even as online memes began to emerge mocking the company for the dubious durability of its product.Not since the iPhone 4 has an Apple device launch been so roundly criticized for its flaws. In that case, an antenna running through the phone caused calls to drop if users squeezed it in a specific way.After first denying there was a problem, then blaming the users, Apple backtracked and apologized. Steve Jobs cut short a vacation to personally announce the company would hand out free cases to iPhone 4 buyers. Apple stop dropped slightly - less than 1percent in after-hours trading today.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
