Were there catastrophic bugs with 8.0.0? (I know there were bugs, but were they device-crippling?)
I’m not suprised (disappointed, but not surprised) at the timing of the release of 8.0.0, but I AM suprised by how quickly they released 8.0.1.
Windows XP is 13 years old. It is ancient, buggy, and unsupported. Your computer is probably compromised, and you don’t even know it. It may be contributing to the metric shit-load of spam that gets sent every year, or may be a bitcoin mining computer or something worse.
I’m not sure what anyone’s talking about, really. Besides some minor bugs, the update didn’t render my 5s unusable.
I’m a little confused, too. 8.0 hasn’t caused any problems with my 5 that I’m aware of. I know the 8.0.1 update was bad, but they pulled it before I was even aware it was out, so that didn’t affect me. The base update seems totally fine.
Yeh, I didn’t even notice an 8.0.1 update was out and went directly from 8.0.0 to 8.0.2.
Seems fine.
Especially if you have been avoiding patching it. XP patched to the end of support is probably still pretty secure. Unpatched XP (say as installed at SP1 or something) is quite likely a desperate mess by now.
I know where the OP is coming from. I tend to be very conservative when looking at making any sort of risk-associated change. Generally speaking, if I don’t have a pressing need to update, I don’t update. With that in mind, has some serious problem been found with iOS6? What’s the reason for risking an upgrade on expensive, out-of-warranty hardware?
There were some minor things to fix in the 8 release, but the 8.0.1 update killed the cell service and Touch ID function in iPhones 6. So those were some pretty major bugs. 8.0.1 was only live for a few hours and 8.0.2, which fixed the new bugs, was released the next day.
If you didn’t have an iPhone 6, 8.0.1 was fine.
