many people have an iPhone and do not know how to use it and blame apple

I have an iphone 6 and is on ios8.0 and I can bypass the lockscreen a serious bug if you ask me. Did they fix this in the 8.0.2 update?

Hmm - September 27, 2014 at 1:52pm

If you're referring to Siri it doesn't let you bypass. I noticed this too but I tested it with the new voice command "Hey Siri!" And tried looking up something random on Wikipedia it did not work and sent me to enter my password or finger print. This did seem to happen every time you do it with the button. What happens is while you're looking for something you're probably touching the scanner with your assigned unlocking finger, which means when you look up things on Wikipedia or anything your phone knows it's you and let's you right through without questioning it.

in the ipad the keyboard is making some weird things... some times it doesn't detect that the keyboard is shown and i think it fixed when i was in the mail app and sending a mail... someone has problems with the keyboard?

iLost - September 26, 2014 at 4:22pm

People scared to update. Cause you don't know what all surprises are waiting for you since its from apple.

gamerscul9870 - September 26, 2014 at 4:50pm

Because they're surprised to find how satisfied issues get fixed with immediately. To competition it's no surprise they don't change in a better way.

Techno - September 28, 2014 at 10:01pm

AMEN!!

D. I. P - September 26, 2014 at 12:28pm

My 5s has an awesome lag when sliding to open control center from lockscreen... Does anyone have this problem? :/

tmel4198 - September 26, 2014 at 4:38pm

Close out apps and reboot. If your trying to activate those upon just restarting the phone there will be lag because all the filesystems and daemons are loading still

Aarish - September 26, 2014 at 8:53am

Hi guys, can u please tell that does ios 8.0.2 give the 3G toggle switch? Thanks!!

dk2013 - September 26, 2014 at 10:15am

If you deactivate the moron switch, the 3G toggle switch should appear.

morecrap - September 26, 2014 at 11:18am

That is not fixed yet. I have downgraded to 7.1.2, since Apple is still signing it. The benefits of iOS 8 do not outweigh my need for better battery performance. I have been an iPhone user since 5 years now and will be shifting to Android now because of Apple's arrogance.

Aarish - September 26, 2014 at 12:16pm

i think u need to turn your moron switch off and read the statement carefully, i would have not mentioned 8.0.2 if it would had been there in ios 8.

Aarish - September 26, 2014 at 12:18pm

yup, even i downgraded it :( thankfully apple was signing 7.1.2

morecrap - September 26, 2014 at 5:35am

I'm a happy iPhone 5s user, won't buy the 6. Android isn't that bad now. The security features with some manufacturers are great. Even more comprehensive than iOS. I would recommend it, I would suggest it, though I would never use it myself.. :P

applefreak - September 26, 2014 at 11:49am

I am an iOS User but was trying out android and now I hate android because its too laggy. But I do have an ipad mini with retina and I love the iPad Mini with retina display.

Lost service - September 26, 2014 at 5:04am

I just updated and lost service on my iPhone 6 plus. Currently dead in the water, so pissed

Gordon - September 26, 2014 at 3:18am

my screen is magnified! i can see only four buttons only! what's does it happen?! so sad....

theehani1 - September 26, 2014 at 6:51am

you probably triple clicked on the home button. triple click again and it should go back to normal.

Gordon - September 26, 2014 at 6:56am

Ah! Yeah! Back to normal! Thanks!

tmel4198 - September 26, 2014 at 4:41pm

Turn it off in settings>general>accessibility, at the bottom

sillydrew - September 26, 2014 at 2:19am

Does anyone else have a auto brightness issues when going into passbook? My brightness is dim until I open passbooks. Just wondering.

Alexander0885 - September 26, 2014 at 2:23am

This is normal so that the scanners that the merchants use can easily detect the barcode

stevenlacross - September 26, 2014 at 3:21am

That makes sense, why didn't I think of that... Probably because I work at google and not apple.

Yajat - September 26, 2014 at 2:03am

My iPad 2 does feel quicker through the animations. The gestures work fine. Safari looks faster 'till now'. Keyboards work better, but still have that beta feel to them. Lockscreen wakes up almost instantly. Oh and fnally downloaded the U2 Album, beautiful.

Nacho - September 26, 2014 at 1:51am

fan android vs ios android never compare is like is like saying. Windows vs os x

tmel4198 - September 26, 2014 at 4:42pm

Great english

BMene - September 26, 2014 at 1:45am

WTF. This 'update' was a downgrade. Turned my iPod Touch into an Android phone.

Nacho - September 26, 2014 at 1:44am

slybacon - September 26, 2014 at 1:36am

All is well on Tmo iPhone 6. Visual VM works fine. I have service and Touch ID! Nothing broke at first sight
