For "early birds" who already have their iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus ahead of its official release here in the Philippines, they must have experienced loss of cellular service and the use of Touch ID in iOS 8.0.1. As an iPhone 5C user, i didn't experienced such bugs but there are two things that I noticed on iOS 8.0.1 in my phone: some apps crashing after launch and the weak data transfer rate  when connected to Wifi.
