Apple yanks iOS 8 software update after users reported major bugs that caused their brand new iPhone 6s to lose cell signal and data service

Apple has pulled its new iOS 8 software update after furious users reported that the upgrade broke their new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices - robbing them of cell signal, data service and the Touch ID capability.

This is the second major issue to arise with Apple's newest iPhone since it was launched on Friday - making it the most troubled new product release since the iPhone 4 and 'antennagate.'

This weekend, some iPhone 6 users reported that their devices bent after just a few hours in their pockets. Apple has declined to comment on the issue.

However, the company acted quickly to pull iOS 8.0.1 from the Apple store when users began reporting the problems within minutes of its release today.

The glitch appears to effect only the newest iPhones - not iPhone 5C or 5S or older models.

Apple users on all cellular networks in the U.S., Britain and Canada were reporting problems after updating their operating systems, MacRumors.com reports.

The company scrambled to issue a workaround in the iTunes store for users whose brand new phones were rendered all but useless by the update.
