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?
You can remove Microsoft patches if they give you problems. You can't revert back to your previous version of iOS after you upgrade, at least not without extraordinary difficulty.
So problems with Windows patches aren't really newsworthy (unless it bricks your computer making it impossible to roll back the patch). While problems with iOS updates are A Big Deal and need to be broadcast far and wide so everyone with an iOS devices knows about it before they decide to take that one-way step.
Actually iPhones aren't heterogeneous, even within the same models. They use chips from different manufacturers in order to have multiple supply chains and reduce cost by making the suppliers compete. I think its a mistake but apple is making billions so what do I know?
The issue is already fixed.
