Major problems with update of iOS 8.0.1 according to report

One week after the launch of iOS 8, Apple released its
first update for the new OS — iOS 8.0.1 — on Wednesday
afternoon. It was meant to fix a slew of bugs, but that's
not what happened. Immediately after the update hit,
reports began flooding in that iOS 8.0.1 was breaking
cellular reception and other features like Touch ID. Apple
eventually removed the faulty update, but not before an
untold number of users were able to install it. ""We have
received reports of an issue with the iOS 8.0.1 update," a
spokesperson told The Verge. "We are actively
investigating these reports and will provide information
as quickly as we can. In the meantime we have pulled
back the iOS 8.0.1 update."
Those affected report that "no service" is displayed after
iOS 8.0.1 has been installed, and toggling airplane mode
or powering the phone off and on again doesn't seem to
restore cellular reception. Both of Apple's latest iPhones
seem vulnerable to the massive problem, though older
models seem to handle the update just fine.
@jsnell @reubengoulart TouchID seems
broken too.

If you've fallen victim to these issues — and until Apple
comes up with its own fix — the best "solution" seems
to be downgrading back to the original version of iOS 8
released a week  ago.
