8.3 iphone 5 carrier update WARNING

[SDAVE]

I hit "OK" to a carrier update and it completely screwed up my iPhone...kept rebooting.

Warning to anyone with an iPhone 5, don't update the carrier if it asks you. Apple support almost confirmed this too. I couldn't even backup it kept rebooting every 5 minutes, but somehow managed to backup and restored.

What carrier are you on ?

Fine on the O2-UK Network.

No issues on my att 6 +

Yes you want to have others avoid issues you have, but your blanket statement is so incorrect.

Not so much 'inaccurate' ans 'nebulous'.

nebulous |ˈnebyələs|
adjective
in the form of a cloud or haze; hazy: a giant nebulous glow.
• (of a concept or idea) unclear, vague, or ill-defined

My iPhone 5 seems fine. Verizon carrier settings 19.0.

My 5s got the 19.0 VZW update and everything seems fine.

Which carrier do you have? That'll be important because not all carrier updates will be affected.
