Download Firmware Apple iOS 8.0.2

Apple recently released version 8 of iOS, but it didn’t seem to work for everyone. A hastily released update only made matters worse for some and was quickly pulled back. Now update 8.0.2 has been released and this should smooth out all the folds.

Apple’s iOS is the operating system for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Version 8 can only be installed on iPhone 4s, iPad 2, and sixth generation iPod touch or later and includes a large collection of improvements. For example, there is support for virtual keyboards from third parties such as Swype and Swiftkey, there is a Health app, the OS supports Family Sharing and the new iCloud Drive can be activated. There are also improvements to notifications and Spotlight and changes have been made, especially under the hood, that give developers more options.
