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

Posted by msmash on from the software-bugs dept.

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?

    Once they realized they could get read of those large and expensive testing departments and that customers would put up with it, this was inevitable.

    Did this release get rid of that obnoxious fucking nag you ever god damn day to upgrade bug?

    I DON'T WANT YOUR UPGRADES, STOP NAGGING ME ABOUT IT.

    Oh wait ... problem solved, not using iOS anymore. Not by choice mind you, I broke my iPhone 6s Plus ... but after the forced upgrade or be nagged DAILY and removal of the headphone jack ... I could care less.

    So this is what happens when you lose your quality-obsessed dictator.

    It should be a cardinal rule of companies releasing new hardware/software consumer/business products that the entire senior executive team of the company eats their own dogfood with the product for a month before public (even beta) release.

    upgraded to iOS 10 + watchOS 3 — works good.

    messaging, phone, and all the apps dont have any weird crashes on my iPhone 5s.

    also, my own iOS xcode apps install and run on the phone without modification in xcode 8.

    the new watch face in watchOS 3 is usable, and the watch responds faster.

    solid upgrade.
