Apologize if this has already been addressed but whoever has updated to 8.0.2, what's it like on the 5s, is it stable? I'm hesitant on updating in case the same thing that happened with 8.0.1 on the 6/+ where cellular service became unusable so I want to know if anyone has updated if they're experiencing any issues or if it's buttery smooth compared to iOS 8.

Updated my 5s to iOS 8.0.2 last night and as everyone has said, it's a solid update...smoother and faster.

Updated as well last night. No noticeable issues today. I didn't go to 8.0.1, though. 8.0 to 8.0.2. I'm usually fairly quick to go for a new update, but literally missed the 8.0.1 before it was pulled back.

I did ota this morning and was without phone today. No calls, apps crashed, could send SMS but not receive and no I message on my 5s. Restored tonight to 8.0.2 via iTunes and it's behaving fine now.

Update is stable. And i think it's more stable than 8.0 which was a cause of a lot of crashes on my phone, stock apps and all

I also some how missed the 8.0.1 update, kinda glad I did from all the war stories....SMILE
