iPhone 6 Plus

With the jailbreak tweak SBRotator for iOS 8, any iPhone can rotate its home screen like the iPhone 6 Plus. Normally, turning the iPhone to a landscape orientation only rotates the display in supported apps. With the extra real estate on the iPhone 6 Plus display, app icons rotate horizontally and the dock moves to the right side of the screen.

Once installed, the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5/5s/5c, and the iPhone 6 gain this home screen rotation capability. Not only this, but there's an option to keep the dock along the bottom of the screen like an iPad, instead of moving it to the side like the iPhone 6 Plus. Even iPhone 6 Plus users can use SBRotator to change their rotation mode to the iPad style.

Apple released iOS 8.0.2 on Thursday to fix the bugs created by iOS 8.0.1. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users complained that they lost their cellular signal and couldn't use Touch ID after downloading iOS 8.0.1 on Wednesday. Apple quickly pulled the update after it was released and announced they were working on a fix. Apple told CNBC that "less than 40,000" users were impacted by the problems caused by iOS 8.0.1.

iOS 8.0.1 was originally released to fix an issue with HealthKit and other small problems plaguing iPhone and iPad users. A bug in Apple's HealthKit SDK has delayed developers from releasing HeathKit-enabled apps to the App Store, which was a major selling point of the iPhone 6 and iOS 8. The update also resolved an issue affecting 3rd party keyboards and squashed a bug that prevented uploading photos and videos from Safari. iOS 8.0.2 also fixes these bugs plus adds improvements to the Reachability feature found only on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and it brings better support for the "Ask To Buy" option in Family Sharing. You can see the full changelog below.

It has been a bad week for Apple, on Wednesday the company was forced to pull iOS 8.0.1 because it was disabling people's Touch ID and cellular service, and on Thursday a noted security researcher told The Daily Dot that the company knew before Celebgate about a security hole that left iCloud users vulnerable. Apple has also been dealing with a few users complaints that have gone viral under the name "Bendgate".

The hastag #Bendgate started trending on Twitter after a few users claimed that their iPhone 6 had become bent after being in their pocket. The various forum and blog posts prompted some people to conduct their own "bend" tests which revealed the obvious, the iPhone 6 can be bent and damaged if you apply enough pressure to it.

Just four days after its release on September 17, iOS 8's adoption rate hit 46%, according to Apple's App Store Distribution page. This is well ahead of iOS 7's rate, which hit 52% a week after it was made available.

At the end of May, just three days before Apple announced iOS 8, around 90% of iPhone users and 85% of iPad users had adopted iOS 7, which means iOS 7 has dropped of somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% in just a few days.

If you didn't already preorder the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, you may be waiting longer than a week if you order it now. Despite record output, Foxconn has been unable to keep up with the enormous demand for Apple's new flagship phone.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the manufacturing giant's main site in Zhengzhou, China, has over 200,000 workers on around 100 production lines that operate around the clock. According to a source there, "[the site has] been churning out 140,000 iPhone 6 Plus and 400,000 iPhone 6 every day, the highest daily output ever, but the volume is still not enough to meet the preorders."
