iOS 8: Apple users frustrated by latest software update

Apple users have taken to social media to express their frustration over installing the company’s latest software update, iOS 8.

Many iPhone and iPad users have resorted to deleting photos, videos and other files in order to free up space for the new version of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 8, which requires up to 5.8GB of storage.

Apple has also removed apps for its new health software because of a bug.

One expert said Apple’s updates were often prone to “teething problems”.

Some vexed Apple users took to Twitter to express their annoyance.

This is not the first time Apple users have had trouble with iOS updates.

In 2012, the iOS 6 update caused some users to lose their apps, and others lost photos and messages when updating to iOS 7 in 2013.

As well as requiring a lot of storage, the latest version, iOS 8, does not include apps that run with Apple’s new HealthKit service, which is designed to work with third-party wearable health devices.

The software was originally scheduled for release in iOS 8, but has been pulled while Apple works on fixing a bug.

Apple users can avoid the need to free up storage space for the latest update by upgrading their software via iTunes on a Mac or PC, instead of through the phone or tablet itself.

Additionally, much of the free space required by the update is made available again once the installation process has completed.
