The fiasco that was iOS 8.0.1 has quickly been rectified by tech giant Apple which has just released the iOS 8.0.2 update for compatible devices. This earlier download was taken down by the Cupertino-based company after it started causing issues in the network reception and Touch ID attributes of the newly launched iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
With the fresh 8.0.2 version of the firmware, it has hopefully fixed these pains. After the release of iOS 8 around a week ago, several problems were reported in the software which coerced Apple to release the version 8.0.1 immediately. It was quickly found that this download was messing around with the firmware on the iPhone 6 models.
The company stopped its roll-out midway, and has now finally launched the iOS 8.0.2 chunk. Apart from fixes for the issues caused by the previous update, it also makes available HealthKit apps, patches up matters related to third-party keyboards and fixes a bug that didn’t allow apps to access photos.
