T-Mobile To iPhone Users: Do Not Download iOS 10 For Now (zdnet.com)

Posted by msmash on from the buggy-updates dept.

If you have an iPhone, and you're on T-Mobile network, do not install iOS 10 for now. The U.S. carrier warned on Thursday that the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and the iPhone 5SE users who downloaded Apple's newest iOS software were facing connectivity issues. Apple is working on a fix, and T-Mobile expects to resolve things within 48 hours. ZDNet adds: You can power-cycle your iPhone by holding in the power and home button at the same time until you see an Apple logo displayed on the screen. Apple's release of iOS 10 hasn't been perfect. During its first hour of availability on Tuesday, iOS users reported issues with the update stalling just as it finished. Those impacted by the issue were required to use iTunes on a computer to reinstall the update. Despite a rough start, iOS 10 adoption was at nearly 15 percent after just 24 hours, and is currently at 21 perfect nearly two days after availability according to Mixpanel.

    "Despite a rough start, iOS 10 adoption was at nearly 15 percent after just 24 hours, and is currently at 21 perfect nearly two days after availability according to Mixpanel."

    Or:

    "48 hours after an all-but-enforced update for almost every one of their products, 80% of device owners still hadn't wanted - or managed - to install it."

    500+ iPads on-site. 1/3 not eligible for the update. Local update caching MacOS server. High-end wireless network has fallen over for the last two days as they all try to get 1Gb update from local network, fail, retry, fail, retry.

    Lucky we've got the caching server or they'd totally fuck the 100Mbps leased line connecting us to the world.

    What is it with version 10 of OSes and then being horrible downgrades? I guess Apple wanted to take a page from Microsoft.

    As a long-time iOS user, I'd say it has nothing to do with "version 10" specifically. With iOS, the .0 releases have sucked since iOS 6 at least. Heck, with iOS 8 and iOS 9, the suckitude continued until they got to the .2 release of each.

    The only exception may have been iOS 7, but that was basically a service pack for the many broken things about iOS 6.

    Unless there's some glaring security bug getting fixed, people are well-advised to avoid any .0 and .1 releases of iOS nowadays.
