Apple released iOS 8.0.1 earlier today that brought HealthKit app support and other bug fixes. Unfortunately, it looks like Apple introduced new bugs with the release of iOS 8.0.1.

We received reports that the update causes cell service and Touch ID issues. Users constantly see 'Searching' or 'No Service' in the place of the carrier's text. In addition, Touch ID is completely broken. From what we understand, the issues are centered around the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus -- other iPhone users are not reporting any major issues.

We recommend that users hold off on updating, until Apple releases another update to fix these issues. If you've already downloaded, you can downgrade to iOS 8 for a limited time.

Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

Update:
Apple has pulled the software update to iOS 8.0.1.

This is what happens when you hire ex-Android developers. I would know, I'm a iOS developer at Apple.

Aly Naseer - September 24, 2014 at 6:18pm

How can one downgrade to iOS 8?

City023 - September 24, 2014 at 6:18pm

Steve Jobs would disapprove of all these glitches and problems that's going on. And he would see iphone 6 as a half way job. He would of wanted more features before its release.

dk2013 - September 24, 2014 at 6:29pm

You're thinking of an imaginary Steve Jobs, not the one that held back basic features to make future models more exciting.

Alejayjohn - September 24, 2014 at 6:16pm
