iOS 8 has been shtt....WiFi connection sucks. Try this: connect to your home network with your iOS 8.1 devices, start walking away from the router until your iOS devices get only 2 bars connections strength, disconnect the WiFi and try to reconnect it: your devices will ask for WiFi password and once you enter the password, it won't connect saying that it's wrong password. If you have only 1 bar strength network, you won't be able to connect it...this is' iOS 8.1 issue.
This is not my experience with iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. Both are solid. Both were updated USB/iTunes.
According to people I respect (Rene Ritchie, Andy Ihnatko) it was indeed a delivery issue. People who updated OTA were affected. For people who updated via USB/iTunes the update was fine. The issue affected about 46,000 customers before action was taken. Anecdotal nonsense from anonymous posters, Google hits, Apple Discussion forum “views and replies” are totally useless in determining the cause and extent of any issues. I’ll take the word of Apple any day over the “Internet.” The Internet is full of nut-jobs, idiots, and wannabes.

Nope. Why do guys like you assume your personal experience is universal? Are you that self-centered?

What is Andy Ihnatko up to these days ( I know I know, I'll Google him). I remember Andy from the very early Mac days along with Guy Kawasaki. Respect!

You seem to be hell bent on repeating that claim... Helping manage a few hundred iOS devices on corporate WiFi networks running Cisco WAP's which are known for being finicky, not ONES has had an issue, nor has my 5S or Mini Retina on my home router, an Asus Dark Knight...

This is precisely why one should not pay attention to Internet anecdotes. 90% of Google hits and Apple Discussion Forum views include nonsense like this guy’s post. Garbage in, garbage out, as they say, like the video making the rounds showing an iPhone 6 bent at a 90% angle after allegedly being in some guy’s front pocket when he ‘bumped into’ a metal post... and then it caught fire. But hey, it’s on the Internet and there’s video so it must be true, right?

Is there a joke afoot here I missed?
I could care less about that! (I bet 50% of readers don't even get that joke!)

a continent north of the equator - just trying to be parallelistic.
Ok so one of three ... got it.
Actually that could even be a new definition of parallelistic ... all three are on the same parallel! (Give or take ...
