Apple released a new update to iOS 8 today that's supposed to fix a lot of bugs with the OS.
But a lot of folks are complaining on Twitter and elsewhere that it's screwing up their phones.
Several people at Business Insider have updated their iPhones and it's basically turned the device into a brick. The devices can't connect to cellular networks. The Touch ID fingerprint sensor isn't working either. We suggest you don't get the new update until Apple makes yet another fix.
iOS 8.0.1. turned my phone into an iPod.

Lots of reports that iOS 8.0.1 breaks cell service and TouchID on the iPhone 6. Wait to update. http://t.co/QnU0D4rFJP

This is the most hilarious thing ever (no, my iPhone 6 cannot connect to cellular and Touch ID is broken) http://t.co/kl6xGH7Smx
