Apple pulls iOS 8 update

The update, iOS 8.0.1, has apparently caused major problems for many users who report the update has interfered with their cell signal and created problems with Apple's Touch ID.

Apple has pulled the update from its Developer Center and users are no longer able to download iOS 8.0.1 as an over-the-air update.

Apple said in a statement that it had received reports of the issues with the update, which is called iOS 8.0.1. Customers can still use iOS 8, which was released last week.

For Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook, the software problems tarnish what has been a record-breaking release for the latest iPhones. The company sold more than 10 million handsets of the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in their first weekend on sale starting Sept. 19, with the devices becoming available in more than the original list of 10 countries beginning on Sept. 26.

The update, labeled iOS 8.0.1, was supposed to fix a number of bugs in the new software, launched last week, including one with Apple’s HealthKit feature.
