Just a week after Apple released iOS 8, it pushed out a routine update, version 8.0.1, specifically for the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The patch was intended to fix several bugs on the new iPhones— including app crashes, unexpected data usage for the message app, and a malfunctioning Health app—but it instead crippled the phones.
The few 6 and 6 Plus users who went for the 8.0.1 update began to experience serious problems with their new iPhones, including not being able to make calls or use the Touch ID fingerprint scanner to unlock their phone or make purchases. (The problems don't affect the unupdated version iOS 8, which is also a free download for iPhones back to the 4s.)

Other supposed iPhone problems, such as the reported ease in which they can bend in your pocket, may not be as easy to fix.
