If you haven't downloaded and installed iOS 8.3 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/08/ios-8-3/) yet, you might want to hold off for a bit first. Apple says the update packs that new emoji keyboard and a slew of performance fixes, but multiple reports on Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/31xnw3/major_ios_83_bug/), Twitter and Apple's own support forums (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6983735) claim that the new software build basically breaks TouchID support for iTunes and App Store purchases. It's not yet clear how widespread the issue is -- Twitter in particular is light on the moaning today -- but we've just installed iOS 8.3 on a pair of iPhone 6s on different carriers and now neither of them work the way they're supposed to.
