Woopsie, Apple withdraws IOS 8 update

Apple has issued and then immediately withdrawn the first update of its latest mobile operating system, just a week after the release of iOS 8.

It is thought to be the first time that the company has pulled a software update from its App Store.

The release of iOS 8 followed the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus earlier this month, but the operating system has been plagued by a range of problems, including wireless connectivity problems and battery drain.

In addition, Wednesday�s update affected the way the device connects to mobile networks for some users, as well as the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

An Apple spokesperson said: �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.�

My iPad has been giving me ergo all weekend and I finally said, "screw it."
