    Not aware of anything from Apple about this issue. It was just an assumption, sorry. What I did is test up to date devices (i think i even tested an up to date iOS 6) and couldn't …

    It doesn't seems to be iOS 8 only. Recent versions of iOS 7 seem to be fixed as well. (Tested my phone earlier this week)

    Good point for Apple. But I wouldn't call having your computer fixed 4 times in ~2 months lucky... Every brand seems to be having reliability problems with their products nowadays …
