Apple also released an apology-

iOS 8.0.2 is now available for users, it fixes an issue that affected iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who downloaded iOS 8.0.1, and includes improvements and bug fixes originally in iOS 8.0.1. We apologize for inconveniencing the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who were impacted by the bug in iOS 8.0.1.

As usual the update is available over the air on devices Settings-General-Software Update but once again you will need storage space. This time 1.5GB of storage is needed. The alternative is to connect the device to iTunes and under Devices check for the update.
