The iOS 8 had a number of serious [issues](http://time.com/3426561/apple-iphone-6-plus-ios-8-problems/ "undefined"), and users widely reported an iOS 8.0.1 connectivity issue that caused dropped calls on their cellular network, affecting primarily iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users. The update also disabled the Touch ID function, which allows people to unlock their phones with fingerprints. Apple’s widely anticipated iOS 8.0.2 fixes connectivity issues, repairs a bug so that the touted HealthKit apps can be made available on the App Store, among other glitch fixes.
