One week passed since iOS 8 was released for iPads and iPhones and Apple already released a new update: iOS 8.0.1. The update aims to fix a few problems here and there so let’s take a look on what’s changed on iOS 8.0.1 update for the iPhone 5.
Last week, after a long beta phase, Apple has finally released iOS 8. The update brought some big changes, which include improvements on iMessage, battery usages, accessibility, Photo application and many more. However, iOS 8 didn’t have the big “hit” that iOS 7 had when it was released. iOS 7 brought some big changes when iOS 8 came with only a few changes and more upgrades or fixes.
Since some iPhone and iPad users experienced some issues when upgrading to iOS 8, Apple released iOS 8.0.1 to fix some of the found issues on this new OS. However, it is a small update that fixes issues for keyboards, Photo Library, cellular data usage when sending and receiving MMS and SMS, a ringtone fix and many more.
