Apple confirmed Wednesday it has pulled its iOS 8.0.1 update amid widespread reports that the software leaves some users unable to access cell service or the TouchID fingerprint sensor, among other issues.
“We have received reports of an issue with the iOS 8.0.1 update. We are actively investigating these reports and will provide information as quickly as we can. In the meantime we have pulled back the iOS 8.0.1 update," an Apple spokesperson told NBCNews via email Wednesday afternoon. Scores of users complained on Twitter about issues with the first update to iOS 8, Apple's most recent operating system, which was initially released on September 17 ahead of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus release on September 19.
But it's unclear whether the problem affected only certain iPhones or certain wireless carriers, as others said they downloaded 8.0.1 with no issue. The 8.0.1 update was designed to fix a problem with Apple's HealthKit app and other bugs. While early versions of iOS and other operating systems are often filled with minor to medium technical issues, the problems are rarely as severe as disabled cell service.
