Triumph Over Initial Tragedy

iOS came as the eighth major release of iOS mobile operating system --- a successor to iOS 7. The announcement for its release was made in the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on 14th June, 2014. A couple of months later, on 17th September, 2014, iOS 8.0.1 was released amidst great enthusiasm among the faithful. This release had major new features and user interface, transparency and other effects and enhancements over iOS 7, though the design was the same.

The initial good news was that around 4 million iPhones were actually pre-ordered and not less than 10 million even sold out in the very first weekend! However, iOS 8.0.1 --- an iOS update made phones unusable. Hackers gained access to iCloud accounts of celebrities and it was alleged that this was possible because Apple had not secured passwords which were easily guessed by hackers.

After a bout of Microwave charging hoax that wrongly advertised that iPhone could be recharged by being heated in a microwave oven or jailbreaking that allowed access to command line of the OS and removed limitations installed by Apple, a few complaints about issues concerning WiFi, Camera Roll, iMessage or random freezing, iOS 8.0.2 is here to undo damage done and woo the much faithful clients to its fold back and forever!
