I am very pleased that Apple was able to resolve this issue so quickly and to get an update out to all of us in such a short amount of time. It is my fervent hope that whatever led to this issue has been addressed at the highest levels inside Apple's organization. I can only imagine the conversations that Mr. Cook was having with his underlings. Oh to of been a fly on that wall.
I'm probably too lazy to go to the appstore and get a direct link, and then come back here and paste it, but I can tell you that it's an app called StockTouch, it's for iPad, it's free (there's an upgrade to pro version with some extra features if you need them), and it's pretty cool.
So just search for StockTouch on the appstore and you should be all set.
I think that you'll like it, I use it all of the time in addition to normal charts. It gives a different perspective on things I feel, and I love how I can just pinch and zoom to view different sectors and different stocks.
Do not update, my iPhone 6 is now a brick, experiencing the same issues reported by users who updated to iOS 8.0.1. I updated now to 8.0.2 and now have no cellular service and unusable Touch ID.
Holy shit, that was fast. What happened to "a few days"?
Apple really nipping everything in the bud today.
they knew exactly where to look so it was probably child's play to find the commas that should have been periods. typical apple to under promise and over deliver on time frames. I bet half the computer repairs they take in are done within 48 hours but they still quote 3-5 days all the time. same game
AAPL back over $100 by this time next week. Management Funds million$ richer.

I wish I could too but I'm already mightily overweight on AAPL. That's what happens your holdings of the stock does something stupid like nearly quintuple in value. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
Update: According to CNBC, Apple said the iOS 8.0.1 bug affected less than 40,000 iPhone 6 handsets.
Gosh, I feel so lucky and privileged to have experienced the bug... and lost an entire afternoon in recovery, not knowing what or when Apple would do anything about it.
My bad I just had to reboot the phone, and for your information my bill is due on October 8, but I paid it on September 22 the whole $534.61 and that's most likely more then you make a week, about 1 & 1/8 of a days pay for me.
Many people actually downloaded it and didn't have this issue. So, that's obviously not the case.
Oh, obviously. If they didn't have an iPhone 6/6+, they had no issue. Obviously. Just a few million iPhone 6/6+ customers were vulnerable, and fortunately for the vast majority of them, Apple pulled the update before they could grab it.

Someone better get fired over this. Over 25 billion in stock devaluation, every iPhone 6 updated OTA having cellular killed.
Yes, AAPL did drop a little more than the indexes, but I believe that it would probably be more accurate to compare AAPL to the NASDAQ which was down 1.94% today, because AAPL is not part of the DOW, but they are a part of the NASDAQ.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an archaic index. Two of the largest companies (by market cap) aren't even represented on the Dow (Apple and Berkshire-Hathaway). The Dow lost its relevance about twenty years ago. Basically, the sample size of 30 constituents is no longer statistically significant.
Today's more relevant indexes are the S&P 500 (large caps), Nasdaq-100 (tech-heavy exchange), and the Russell 2000 (for small caps). AAPL is a component of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq-100.
It's a bit like baseball statistics. The oldest hitting statistic -- batting average (BAA) -- is woeful inadequate and pretty useless these days. A far better measure of a hitter's contribution is OPS = OBP (On Base Percentage) + SLG (Slugging Percentage). For pitchers, WHIP (Walks-Hits per Inning Pitched) is a helpful adjunct to ERA (Earned Run Average).

Kudos for the quick come-back Apple.
Normal service resumed.
Sure, no problem!

Agreed... Let's all remember that Apple has a HUGE day tomorrow as the new phones go on sale in 20 more Countries !!!!!!

It works fine, pay your bill for service!
