Well…. Worst case, deactivate Siri. It seems that Hello Siri is the analogy to Open Sesame. If Siri is turned off, then the hack falls short.

I don't see thousand of Apple iPhone user complaining about the 8.0.1 and up to 8.0.2. ONLY android user fans complain about this.

Have you been reading all the news of Apple this week about the Touch ID, iBend. 90% of them are android fans blushing Apple. But the true is, they want to have in their hands the Apple iPhone 6 & 6+ if the price cost $500 unlocked.

English much?

Google translate helps with ESL, but there is still the matter of concepts that have to be developed and communicated clearly. If at first one doesn't succeed, try again, harder.

Maybe Rosetta Stone instead of Google Translate?

@aba Because we all know that ifans don't complained about it they're in denial stage that their so called perfect tech company doesn't have security flaws. Again work on your statements it's really hard to read and not to mention understand what your trying to say.

Really, my English is not good? Now I know why my english teacher give me a grade of C.

No problem with that because I'm not a teacher and I am accountant. I'm good in numbers, yeah!!!

@aba71983 I don't even know why you even try..? Half of the comments I've read from you on this thread and other posts don't make sense at all!! You complain about android trolls but you yourself have been trolling around also. At least some of the trolls on here iPhone/Android can spell and we can at least make some kind of sense to what their saying.!

A C? Tells me more about the quality of the school you attended too than your level of English.

Yet on Cult of Mac there is an author, an Apple fanboy who thinks the 8.0.1 update is one of the biggest mistakes Apple has made with the current release.

107. RebelwithoutaClue (Posts: 3523; Member since: 05 Apr 2013)

Update 8.0.1 doesn't even exist anymore. And just go to Apple forums to see all the complaints about Apple devices. Not only Android fans who complain about it. It's normal with any new device. Software has bugs, Apple has them, Android has them. Once again a stupid and dumb comment from you.

Dude, you do know that this "bug" was a fake, right? It was picking up his Touch ID registration on his thumb.

109. RebelwithoutaClue (Posts: 3523; Member since: 05 Apr 2013)

I wasn't referring to this bug, but to bugs in general.

I kept on thinking, Why does every time a new iOS is released, different security flaws keep on coming out? It seems to me that they always start from scratch. The bottom line is, Apple just sell.

60. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)

It is not just security flaws. WiFi connectivity, battery usage immediately come to mind as issues that required a new release of iOS 7. Those weren't security issues.

Just remember, with all the problems you've had to deal with recently... At least you don't have a Windows Phone.

16. dazzmichael (Posts: 60; Member since: 15 Sep 2014)

whats up with Windows Phone?

19. Scott93274 (Posts: 5348; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)

Nothing really, I just had a strong urge to drag a neutral party into an argument that had no relevance to said party.

Ha, thank you. One of the best parts of using an OS with low market share (if not the only good part), is that no one cares enough to try and crack the security in it and there is no malware.

Nothing ACTUALLY...! :-)

Well yes, issues do happen, but the problem as I see it is, that apple basically promotes that they are the untouchable best and whatnot, never makes any mistakes e.t.c., and are running on that and have been for a long time.

Now all these things happen, just as iphone becomes comparable in resolution with the iphone 6 plus, making comparing the phones actual output and performance a more even playing field, and it seems iphone is not living up to its own press.

I prefer android myself because of its customization, but that's about it, otherwise the two different os' do what mobile os' should do if you ask me, but even so with me trying to see things objectively, it is difficult not to be smug when iphone's hype is proven to be just that, hype.

Edit: that said, he needs to disable touch id and do the test again, just to make sure that it isn't touch id reacting.

You got that right @xondk . I don't know why it's so much to bear for them that Apple is being criticize whereas it should direct apple from correcting its mistakes. Yes there a lot of narrow minded android users here but I don't blame them cause of the so perfect company that apple promotes to themselves and yet again all these problems sprung up one after the other.

28. BlankSpaceNai (Posts: 127; Member since: 23 Apr 2014)

I say this because even if we hoot and holler about how many mistakes apple is making, the thing is that none of them care. They are happy they got the newest version of their phones, no matter what issues its having, none of them are going to care about the problems it has, it only makes us look like we cant stop.

Sure, they poke fun at us, they dont listen to us, they just continue to make themselves look better, but the thing we have, is that we can outgrow them. If they dont care, let them live in the fantasies of their own creation while we move on, grow, advance, innovate, and change with newer and better things.

If we just keep poking fun at them for things, its just beating a dead horse. We got the note 4 coming, and after playing with it for 15 minutes, I've fallen in love all over again.

Played with the Note 4 at best but and it is truly a beauty!

12. techperson211 (Posts: 1280; Member since: 27 Feb 2014)

Again another ifan who is afraid of his beloved tech company to be critisize. This is the difference between apple and android user. Android users accepts the flaws of their device but ifans are so well defensive about it. I'm not gonna blame them Timmy always bragged how perfect they are in terms of user experience , hardware and software. And yet these kind of things happens.

Why bring Android in on this? Right off the bat you're defending Apple while trying to start crap with Android folks. I'm sorry but I returned my iPhone 6 this afternoon for the many bugs I found with iOS. I did not have 1 bug free day while owning this phone for the past week. This OS is full of bugs and Apple to me is no longer a premium experience. Even their phones are starting to look like crap compared to other devices on the market.
I gave Apple another shot but no more. I can't be the only one that found so many bugs or incompatible apps.
