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

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.

    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.
