I just updated my iPhone 5 and iPad Air. Hopefully, I will not encounter any of these bugs that are widley reported.

People may give Apple hell for this, but it has far less holes than when Microsoft relases a new Windows. That's for sure.

For the record I use a Dell Laptop with Windows 7. Both products have their issues and both products work great IMO.

Question: I have a new iPad Air and just so you know who you’re dealing with, I am a complete computer DORK. (Translation - Old woman.)

So late last night I get this alert of an update. I don’t give it a second thought; I download the update because I figured it was something they created to protect me from the virus type problem recently reported attacking Apple.

About an hour later I get this notification that someone using my password signed me up for some instant messenger set up. Said if I wasn’t the person who did it I should change my password. Well, to my knowledge I didn’t sign up so I got worried.

I tried to change it via email... They said they’d send me one... but one never arrived. So then I chose the security questions route but they told me my birth date was incorrect! Excuse me? I may be a little dippy sometimes but I still know my birth date! I blew it off and went to bed. Should I be worried??

Thanks for any help you can provide!

The new update was OK'd by the "Quality Assurance" guy who screwed up the initial update (and the Apple Maps fiasco of before).

My advice would be to wait a week til the dust settles on this one.

So, Microsoft is more buggy, but the products running Microsoft work great?

That is the Apple cult mentality on display, folks!

I criticize them for following microsoft’s lead in releasing garbage software to the public. For the bending, that’s the fault of the user. The iphone is a complex sophisticated electronic device. It should be handled with care, not put in a hip pocket or sat on.

All these pathetic whiners howling about a "buggy" version of a new iOS. So their pretty little apps had some "glitches" for about a a day or two and now they are bawling and crying about it. Poor babies.

To Apple's credit, they rolled out a new version with fixes in about a day. Yet that doesn't satisfy the caterwauling spoiled brats who were inconvenienced because Yelp crashed on them when they were trying to locate a Starbucks in their area or they couldn't Instagram the Lemoncello Cream Torte that they had for dessert at the Cheesecake Factory to their 57 "get a life" followers.

What these overprivileged twerps don't seem to realize is that the iPhone is an incredibly sophisticated device and the software running it is enormously complex. The engineering achievement of the iPhone makes the 1969 moon landing look like cavemen inventing the wheel by comparison.

Apple's achievement in the consumer product arena over the past 15 years is nothing short of epic. If you took an iPhone 6 back to 1969, when we were landing a primitive spacecraft on the moon, it would seem like it came from a far advanced civilization several galaxies away. More computing power and software code exists in an iPhone than what all of NASA had at their disposal back in 1969. In fact, all those white-shirted, crew-cutted, skinny black tied NASA folks could have stayed home on that day back on July 20, 1969. Some 19-year-old kid could have been running the entire moon landing on an iPhone app from his mother's basement while simultaneously listening to a Guns N Roses album and playing Angry Birds on the same device.

People just don't respect Apple and what they have achieved.

With this OS screw-up and news the iPhone 6+ can be bent, just more examples that Apple is waaaay overhyped and overpriced.

My LG/G3 has a much higher resolution, thinner body and a 3000mA battery that lasts > 24 hours.
