Apple releases 8.0.2 update

Apple has released iOS 8.0.2, a new OS update that
promises to fix some issues introduced in iOS 8.0 — but
more importantly, quite the mess it left behind with iOS
8.0.1. In a statement to The Verge , Apple says, "We
apologize for inconveniencing the iPhone 6 and iPhone
6 Plus users who were impacted by the bug in iOS
8.0.1." The buggy update went out earlier this week, and
was quickly yanked by the company after iPhone 6
owners discovered their phones no longer connected to
cellular networks, and that their Touch ID buttons no
longer scanned for fingerprints.
Workarounds let people revert back down to iOS 8.0, but
required access to a computer with iTunes, and a copy
of Apple's iOS firmware file, leaving many in a lurch.
According to a person familiar with the matter, fewer
than 40,000 people downloaded the iOS 8.0.1 update and
it was available for under an hour before Apple pulled it.
iOS 8.0.2. brings the same change list as the botched
update, including a fix for a bug that kept Apple from
releasing any HealthKit-compatible apps in the App
Store, as well as one that promises to make the iPhone 6
and 6 Plus' reachability feature more reliable. The full
list includes many others:
Fixes an issue in iOS 8.0.1 that impacted cellular
network connectivity and Touch ID on iPhone 6
and iPhone 6 Plus
Fixes a bug so HealthKit apps can now be made
available on the App Store
Addresses an issue where 3rd party keyboards
could become deselected when a user enters their
passcode
Fixes an issue that prevented some apps from
accessing photos from the Photo Library
Improves the reliability of the Reachability feature
on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
Fixes an issue that could cause unexpected
cellular data usage when receiving SMS/MMS
messages
Better support of Ask To Buy for Family Sharing
for In-App Purchases
Fixes an issue where ringtones were sometimes
not restored from iCloud backups
Fixes a bug that prevented uploading photos and
videos from Safari
It remains unclear what exactly went wrong with iOS
8.0.1's release. Users proceeded to do an update
through iTunes (before Apple removed it) reported no
problems. However those who installed it using the over
the air update feature ran into the issues immediately.
