Apple has just released iOS 8.0.1 download links. Apple’s recent iOS 8.0 roll-out passed without too much by way of negative feedback, but as must be expected of a fledgling piece of software, there have been one or two glitches. Notably, users have encountered issues with HealthKit, Wi-Fi, and that oh-so incessant battery drain snag that frequently seems to arrive on cue at about this time of the year, and with quite a few users having been afflicted, Apple has acted swiftly in releasing the remedial iOS 8.0.1 update. Details, as well as information on how you can pick up the current software release for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, can be seen below.
The new iOS 8 made sure that even those who did not get a new iphone 6 or 6 plus had something to savor, but while we’ve been pleased by lots of of the new features Apple packed into the software, there have been a few bugs that absolutely needed ironing out.
Just before the Cupertino pushed iOS 8, the software was rocked by a HealthKit bug that verified very detrimental to the launch of what was billed as a flagship feature. Apple swiftly acknowledged the issue, noting that the HealthKit bug wouldn’t allow health apps to push to iOS 8, and then set about removing a number of Health-integrated apps from the app store while the problem was addressed.
Having begun work on taking care of HealthKit ready for launch, lots of developers were left in the lurch. Apple did, however, pledge that a fix would arrive before the end of the month, and true to its word, has apparently delivered the goods.
Here’s the full official changelog of iOS 8.0.1:
Set to integrate heavily with Apple Watch, HealthKit is the multi-functional health suite first announced at this year’s WWDC, and with several other bug fixes and general performance enhancements packed into iOS 8.0.1, this quite a vital early update to those running the current flavor of Apple’s mobile operating system.

Update: Apple has pulled iOS 8.0.1 after reports of it breaking cellular connections and Touch ID for lots of users. Apple is now actively working on investigating the issue.
