In case you missed Update-gate yesterday, Apple released its first update for iOS 8 since making the new operating system available last week, but it caused widespread issues for people’s devices. Some folks reported difficulty using their iPhone’s Touch ID, and others reported interrupted cell service.

Apple quickly pulled the update and directed users to revert back to iOS 8.0.0.
