  2. I did not have a problem with 8.0.1 as I had 4S & Ipad2, Do I still have to update it 8.0.2.. I dont think any of the issues faced in iphone 6 really affected the older handsets and Ipads.

    Apple launches their products apporximately a month after the US launch in India. So the delay really works out in favour of people here as the initial hiccups are usually sorted out, other wise it would be a nightmare as the apple support is next to non existent with only vague answers from them or they arrange a call back from their Singapore office.

    1. Yes you need to update to 8.0.2 on all iOS 8.0 installed devices because it’s full of bug fixes for all devices not just the new iPhones. I’m only running iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad mini Retina because my Air and 5S are both too full and I’m chicken to run it on my older devices for fear of slowing them down. Unlocked iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Grey ordered Sept 12 from Oct 13-20 delivery. So no need for 8 on my iPhone on which I can still enjoy a working MDN app. 😜

  3. MDN! You are preventing me from upgrading to iOS 8! Where is your new update App? I can’t use the existing app as i crashes right after download of the new articles process. Every time!

    Thanks,

    Anxious

  4. I never updated after 8.0 and went straight to 8.0.2 early this morning on my iphone 6. No issues and running great on AT&T. I have left 7.1 on my mini and other iPads because I love MDN’s app so much and will wait til they update before I update these devices.

  5. Im tempted as my phone is like windows xp at the moment BUT can anyone tell me:

    On iPhone 5 is the cellular coverage as good as ios7? Updating to 8 lost me a full bar of reception, meaning no internet coverage in my regular places AND even worse battery life…

    Of course all the other bugs that haven’t been acknowledged or (it seems) addressed are annoying – but the coverage is vital and I can’t afford it to get worse.

  6. Ok… so I updated my iPhone 6 with 8.0.1 yesterday, just as apple was pulling the update… The phone froze as I was loading it… I was not happy. So I then disconnected the phone from my computer, pushed and held the home and lock button simultaneously, and forced a hard restart… It restarted, but remained frozen… I then hooked the phone back up to my computer, and iTunes started to download the firmware update… but I got a weird message informing me that the phone needed to be reset prior to loading the software. I could not reset the phone… it was frozen and inaccessible. I was not happy. Then a miracle happened. The phone restarted, the software started to download, and the phone rebooted in 8.0.

    I then restored the phone using a previous backup. IT WORKED. The apps would not load… so I disconnected the phone… and downloaded the apps directly through the app store on the phone. IT WORKED. Today I updated both my iPad air (landscape orientation froze in 8.0) and iPhone 6 with 8.0.2… All operations are NOW SMOOTH.

    Apple screwed up… but redeemed themselves. Thank you for handling this so quickly, Apple.

  7. I updated IPAD 2 Model, MC763LL/A to 8.0.2 and among various app crashes or failures to run apps, I can no longer update or purchase apps. It just sits there. Anyone else experiencing this?
