The screen rotation issues, along with Mobile Safari's inability to actually select text, and the glitchy video playback have been the three most annoying iOS bugs I've ever seen. All are common use cases, and missing those bugs shows a lack of adequate testing.
i haven't experienced the rotation of video bugs -- so capturing the conditions that lead to it via testing are probably not as simple as you seem to believe. but then, i find things often seem simple to those not involved with them, regardless of field.
For those wondering. Cards in passbook and passbook shows recent purchases.
Okay, "recent purchases".
What about a running tally of your receipts? Does it have that? What good is it if I can't get to my history to mark down for my own records or for noting balance?
This is fine for coffee, fast food, etc. but how are returns for more durable goods going to work if the app doesn't pull up receipts? Or do I still need paper receipts for those types of returnable items?
Note to Apple/Walgreens, let reward cards work with NFC too so I don't have to let the cashier scan the Passbook card, then tap, authenticate, then tap again, then press the "ok" on the POS.
Ok. ?Done. Thanks for using ?pay ...
Now, could we interest you in making further ?pay purchases? Perhaps from this very web page? You could perhaps choose among what Google & Facebook have chosen for you, as your interests have been thoroughly tracked, analyzed & reflected in ads displayed here by AppleInsider, your whereabouts tracked to this IP and monitored 24/7 by the NSA.
Now, you can buy with confidence, knowing your privacy is of great interest to everyone. Pay for it, with ?pay .

You'll still have access to all your transactions from your card's balance sheet or whatever, right? But going there is a pain.

Most of my screen rotation issues for 8.0.x were resolved by turning off Reachability. Mad props to the anonymous MR reader who clued me in on that. So this was at least common enough over on MR that I was able to find how other people with the same issues who managed to find ways to work around the problems.
And it can't have been too rare if the fix got its own shout-out in the 8.1 release notes:

Yes, exactly. But it's common at department stores and big box stores to be able to look up receipts based on the credit card used to pay for the purchase. It seems to me the fly in the ointment would be if Apple Pay/NFC payments lost that ability.

and i could argue that its rare enough not to have been an issue on our four devices. until a sample size increases to incorporate more than the use cases tested in the lab, bugs will happen, and it doesn't mean apple is going downhill, or that its troubling, or any of the other FUD crap. rather, iOS devices are selling more & more, resulting in more variables and use cases.
It's of no use to me if I can't easily manage my finances. You know, sort of the reason it exists.
actually, no, the reason for AP is not so you can manage your finances. i don't recall that bullet at the launch at all. do you have a screenshot?
the reason for AP is 1) convenience. 2) security.
sorry you didn't get your outlier feature at launch, but you're cutting your nose off to spite your face if you boycott it for that reason as you've indicated.
As I warned with Yosemite, I strongly recommend waiting until Thursday before installing this update, in case you should turn into a newt or suffer other unforeseen consequences.
There are known knowns and known unknowns. Then there are unknown knowns and unknown unknowns. Also, there be unknown knowns and known gnomes.

I'll bet he tried at a few more places than that.
Yes I set up four cards.
I have tried it at McDonald's (x2), Panera, Walgreens, and ToyRUs.
Toysrus and Walgreens both asked for a pin. Toys R Us would not process. All others worked perfectly.
Guess I won't be using it, then. Shame.
yeah, because there aren't any redeeming qualities or reasons to use AP if you don't get that feature at launch.

Not really. It doesn't do what I need it to do, so there's no reason for me to use it.
Works like charm on my iPad Air and iPhone 5s

I wasn't aware of any update to Safari.
Be kind of funny if he got charged a trillion dollars by mistake.
Glad to hear your iPhone 6 Plus is fixed, having been bent out of sorts.
