iOS 10, Released Today, Is Causing Issues For Some Users (thenextweb.com)

Apple released iOS 10, the latest iteration of its mobile operating system, roughly an hour ago. If you're planning to update your shiny Apple iPhone or iPad, we will strongly suggest iPhone users to not update for two-three days, especially if an iPhone is your primary phone because it is causing issues for some users. The Next Web reports: According to a growing number of iPhone owners on Twitter, the new iOS 10 update might be worth waiting on. After releasing earlier today, users flocked to the new mobile operating system, as they always do, and a number of them are reporting it's putting the phone into recovery mode, forcing them to go back to wipe the memory, re-install 9.3.5 and then try upgrading again.It's unclear at this point what's causing the issue. At any rate, this isn't the first time a major iOS update has been seeded to users without ironing some critical bugs. Two years ago, iOS 8 had a range of issues, one of which blocked cellular capability on the device. Earlier this year, iOS 9.3 point update also caused issues. And who can forget the Error 53 fiasco?

    That being said, I put 10.0.1 on my iPhone 6s Plus this morning. Knock on wood, no issues so far :-)

    Stop hitting your head. The hollow drumming sound is annoying.

    Lame. Now you'll excuse me as I have to prepare some hot grits for brunch. Natalie Portman is coming over for tea this afternoon.
