A day after its iOS 8.0.1 update started messing with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus owners' cellular service and Touch ID functionality, Apple has published an official statement on the issue.
"We apologize for the great inconvenience experienced by users, and are working around the clock to prepare iOS 8.0.2 with a fix for the issue, and will release it as soon as it is ready in the next few days." a company spokesperson told The Verge.

Apple also offers a temporary workaround, which includes reinstalling iOS 8 through iTunes. You can find the instructions -- quite similar to the workaround we've posted Wednesday -- on the company's Support page:
Make sure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
Connect your iPhone to iTunes.
Back up your iPhone in iTunes on your Mac or PC. iCloud backups won't restore to earlier versions, including iOS 8.0.
Download the file below that corresponds to your device:
Select the file you just downloaded by doing one of these in iTunes:
Mac: Press the Option key and click Check for Update.
Windows: Press the Shift key and click Check for Update.
Press Update to install iOS 8 on your iPhone.
The workaround is far from perfect, as the Health app won't work after you apply it. You'll have to wait for iOS 8.0.2 for it to be fixed (hopefully).
