Q: The IOS 8.0.2 "upgrade" has ruined my iPad 2 and iPad Air. Will Apple be implementing a fix to the problems- it is the most ridiculous upgrade ever!

Tell Apple feedback

I'm having a lot of trouble with double letter typing and spacing.  There sure are some bugs in these updates that Apple needs to address.

Unfortunately you'll only get the stock answer "Tell Apple feedback" from those who think Apple is the best thing since sliced bread. 

Criticising Apple is verboten on these forums by the way. 

I predict this post will be removed very quickly.

Speculative Prediction instead of offers to help?

Thanks for your time.

Only the ones that do nothing but raise the noise level.

You're welcome

Indeed.

I have similar problems and found iOS 8.2 unusable on my iPad 3.  I was on IOS 7.1.2 and upgraded to 8.2.  Performance became horrible - many web pages were taking 2 or 3 times as long to load.  Displaying a raw image in photos went from almost instantaneous to 14 seconds - clearly unusable.  Did a restore of IOS 8.2 and configured as a new user with no data put on the iPad.  Exact same behavior.  Took to Genius Bar three times - they were nice and tried to help - just redid the restore like I did and ran diagnostics which did not reveal anything wrong. They could see the performance was terrible, and in the end I swapped my iPad for an identical one that had 7.1.2 on it.  Runs great.   I have been using Apple stuff for 30 years, and mostly their system software updates have been very good.  My experience of this update was very different, and my confidence in Apple software releases has been shaken (but not stirred). What I really hate is that we do not have the option to reinstall the last version - you used to always be able to do that on Macs.  Yes, I know there are difficulties with that, but that is what I want as a customer.  In my case I was just lucky that the Apple store had an IPad with 7.1.2 on it.  If I had not had that option, I would have to have thrown away my iPad three and get a new one at my expense. Then I would have been really unhappy.

I've about given up.  The "Touch" features are not working right on my new iPad Air 2.  It's very frustrating every day, day after day.  My iPad 2 was so much better than this new one.  After all this time, I don't think that Apple is going to address these problems at all. 

Try updating to iOS8.2

Pete

I updated it already.  And it didn't help.  Evidently they're ignoring the bugs and concentrating on the iPhone instead?  That's the impression I got from reading the update info. 

Then why are you posting in a thread about iOS8.0.2?

Pete

I suppose because it doesn't make any difference, I've got the latest upgrade and it's just as bad as the ones immediately preceeding it.  They've made my iPad 2 worthless now and added many headaches to my new iPad Air 2.  Doesn't matter whether you call it 8.2 or 8.0.2.

It makes an enormous difference what you call it. Because they are both different installs. In fact 8.0.2 is not even available anymore since all the following updates addressed several issues.

If you have issues then take it to an Apple Store.

if you wish to ask a Technical Question, which you have not done here in someone else's thread with a different heading, then try starting your own.
