Apple’s First iOS 8 Update Crashes and Burns

If you’re one of the bazillion people who didn’t like iOS 8, you’re definitely not going to like the operating system’s first update.

Apple today released iOS 8.0.1, a mere week after debuting iOS 8. But don’t click download just yet; according to Mashable, the new update is rife with problems, and users are reporting losing cell service, and that their Touch ID is now completely unusable.

As techies are wont to do, many have taken to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with the update:

#iPhone update is appalling. Battery draining quicker, less signal, phone keeps freezing and keep getting alert noise for no reason. #iOS8

Oh and my phone now no longer looks itself. It just stays open. #iPhone #iOS8

I should've looked at twitter before updating to 8.0.1. I now have NO cell service and Touch ID isn't working. Crap! #iPhone6plus #iOS8

You won't be able to add any other finger to use with Touch ID #ios8 update fail #iOS8Bug pic.twitter.com/EQzbOpc2bK
