Get a backup phone if you MUST HAVE 100%.
If you can't risk a few hours of downtime you should have a backup plan or an extra phone.
That's why I'm keeping my 5S with my 6+
Its surprises me that so many people updated their phones without a full backup. That's standard procedure IMO.
Well, no, you're right. Nothing works 100% of the time. But then again you don't expect your vendor to release an update that kills the absolute core functionality of the device either.
That's something different entirely.
This is uncharacteristic of Apple. Their execution is normally - no, almost invariably- fantastic.
Reputation takes a lifetime to build and it can be taken away in an instant.
I certainly don't agree with his ridiculously hyperbolic first sentence. But his 5 points are, at least, legitimate 'arguments' (opinions).
Absolutely, his first statement was complete hyperbole and highly inflammatory, but my comment also holds for his "points", as his points about "bendgate", which I believe is a completely media fabricated event due to there being no actual "gate" issue with this launch, the mention of the dividends, the Beats acquisition, referencing the new iPhone's and ?WATCH, they are all media BS that he's just trying to use as gas for the flame when in fact it's water. The only issue here is with the 8.0.1 update, which I would say is the first true "gate" issue with this device.
I'm having the same issues. Every time I lock my screen it automatically disconnects my wi fi and then can't find it. I have to shut the phone off and restart.
Can't update our iPad Air - downloaded it to the device (vs. via iTunes), and when it tried to verify, it said that it was not connected to the Internet (which it is - I quickly tried a website, which connected). After several attempts, I just quit. C'mon, Apple!
That may not have been an issue at all. The server may have kicked back any error that would bar updating to save your butt in case that software would also cause issues with the iPad.
Jony Ivy put out another statement. Not only does your iPhone bend so it can get closer to you, it now turned off cellular data so you can have more one on one time together.
The market was down 1% yesterday and Apple was up 1.5%
down less than 1% is a drop in the bucket.
If this was really a big deal (update and BEND gate) this would be down 5%
True. I think bendgate is nonsense but this isn't. And yes Cook better have been reading someone the riot act today. Apple is better than this. Maybe they're just moving too fast and need to slow down a bit.
Yes this is real. Just got off the phone with AT&T. Two options: 1. Go to the Apple Store. 2.Back up the phone via iTunes and Restore from there. The rep on the phone wasn't sure if option 2 would work or not.

Well, the media makes BS out of 'Anything'.
As I said, he has his opinions; you have yours.
Before the iPhone 6 came out, I said many times, here and in other places, that it was a mistake to 'lose' the right-angle / square edge case design. If Apple had kept that, not only would they have maintained a good degree of functionality that they lost with the round edge, we also wouldn't be talking about "bendgate" at all. Period.
So, after reading all of the comments in this thread, and some of them are downright disgusting or moronic, I am going to guess that no one here has ever made a mistake. Not sure I could say that myself, in fact I have made mistakes that took down the entire e-mail system where I was working. You admit the mistake and work to resolve it as quickly as possible. I am sure Apple is doing that right now. What I would love to know is how many where really effected by this. I am really quick to update my devices when iOS updates are released. I did not even know about the update until it had already been pulled by Apple.
Now, I know, Apple can do no right by some people in this forums. Melvin's coverage of a non-issue with the so called bend-gate is a prime example of that. But, at least give them the chance to fix this. I don't know what caused this issue and neither does anyone else in this forum. Software is extremely complex and while something like this should have been caught, for some reason it wasn't. Something changed at the last minute... Who knows what happened and what caused this. I am confident that this will be resolved quickly.

Btw, I have a galaxy S5 and it bent when I tried to bend it with my hands. So, this is BS that this just affects the new iPhone.

Please stop bringing up BENDGATE because it doesn't exist! Why do I say this? BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE IPHONE 5! This is a fabricated "gate" in the absence of a real "gate" issue with this launch, period. The 5, 5S, and now 6/6+ bend due to user stupidity and brute force, whoopee-do.
You're not an engineer, and thus have no way of knowing how much structural rigidity was lost by moving from the rectangular "candy bar" design to the rounded edges, which BTW, having an iPhone 6 on the bench right now for setup, I can tell you was a wise and ergonomic move for a phone this size.
Your comment is just spreading the same media FUD.
I'm holding down the command key and clicking. It's the option/alt key not the command key.
It is "Option" key on Mac. But if do not already have an .IPSW file that you purposely saved, which I doubt you would, since it is a brand new phone, that method is not going to work for you. Accord to an earlier post in this thread supposedly you have enter DFU mode which is a bit trickier and once invoked, you have to start the Recovery process. There are instructions online somewhere I'm sure.

Better solution is that they should hire you. That would have added benefits for us here at AI.
By the way, in the middle of a crisis is not the time to fire your experts.
Hello... I don't want anyone fired. I just want the issue fixed.

The issue can easily be resolved by re-updating the affected phone with the complete image, not an over-the air update.
You can just re-apply the update using iTunes.
Download the firmware:
6+ http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS8/031-07519.20140924.FTHpb/iPhone7,1_8.0.1_12A402_Restore.ipsw
6 http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS8/031-07540.20140924.b41vK/iPhone7,2_8.0.1_12A402_Restore.ipsw
Then connect your phone to iTunes, Command-click the update button (not sure what key on windows) and choose the downloaded file.
This worked. I have cell service now. But hold down option command then select the restore.ipsw for your phone. Hope this helps some one else.

Your comment is just spreading the same media FUD.
How many of you would update to a new full version of Windows without making a backup?
Me. I clean reinstall Windows for every update.
I'm holding down the command key and clicking. It's the option/alt key not the command key.
It is "Option" key on Mac. But if do not already have an .IPSW file that you purposely saved, which I doubt you would, since it is a brand new phone, that method is not going to work for you.
