iOS 8 problems and issues that still bother iPhone 5, 5S, and iPad users

It seems like Apple mobile device users will not run out of problems after downloading the latest operating system from the Cupertino tech company.

The iOS 8.0.2 came just days after the iOS 8 initially rolled out, but users are still having tons of problems with using their Apple devices that are running with the use of this operating system.

"iOS 8.0.2 ... fixes an issue that affected iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who downloaded iOS 8.0.1, and includes improvements and bug fixes originally in iOS 8.0.1," Apple Inc. said in a statement Thursday. "We apologize for inconveniencing the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who were impacted by the bug in iOS 8.0.1."

One of the major concerns of Apple users who decided to download the iOS 8 immediately was the difficulty in connecting to a network provider to make their calls. There are also reports that users experienced locked Touch ID fingerprint sensor, stopping them from unlocking their phones.

The company tried to address the bugs in the succeeding iOS 8.0.1 update instantly, but the bugs were still felt by most of the users. The next update, which happens to be the iOS 8.0.2, was released several days after.

Some of the problems reported after users changed their software to the iOS 8.0.2 include weak connection to Wi-Fi, as well as the earlier problem of connecting to a network. Some even experienced getting a network signal, only to lose it after a few seconds.

In addition, users are reporting that they are having problems with their Bluetooth connectivity. These are normally felt by those who need the Bluetooth connection for calls while synchronized with their cars, particularly those who use vehicles made by Hyundai, BMW, Ford, Lexus, as well as Mercedes.

As of now, Apple Inc. is still mum about making any further adjustments in iOS 8. Perhaps users should wait for the iOS 8.0.3 to see if they still want to upgrade their devices to the company's latest operating system.
