Since Apple is aware of the issue are they also officially recommending 9.7 iPP owners to not update -- even preventing it? Is the crashing random or only affect certain models?
 
I'd downgrade to 9.3.1 immediately if it's just crashing issues, and if I encounter a brick, I'd demand a replacement at the Apple Store, which is what those affected should be doing.
 
I have been on the public beta on both the iphone and ipad. I did not have any major crashing or bricking issues. After reading the article I actually waited to install the final thinking maybe there was a problem with the final. But after reading that it was the pro that was having problems I went ahead and update my ipad this morning. So far (knocks on wood) I have not seen any issues.
 
I was at the Genius bar last night and we were unable to get it resolved. We tried downloading the 9.3.1 IPSW and installing it with the iPad in DFU mode to no avail. Furthermore, they didn't have any iPad Pros in their warranty replacement stock and they were unwilling to take one out of their retail stock. So I am sitting here with an $849 brick. I think anyone that got bit with this will require a hardware replacement. If DFU mode fails, you are pretty much screwed.

So how was it resolved? Did they order one expedited for you?
 
I'm glad my iPad Pro hasn't yet notified me of this upgrade.

With Apple updates these days it always pays to wait and see before upgrading.

Every update since I got my first Mac (1987) has been a problem for some people. I have always updated immediately, and in 2003 that caused a problem for me. So "these days" are no different than "those days". :)

That's unacceptable--especially since you were willing to accept replacement stock. The manager should have given you a retail unit--I'd call and complain. That would make me furious considering what a time suck the genius bar is.

To me it was clear from the start that cook doesn't have the balls (no pun intended) to be a CEO.
Actually he is a really good CEO, but Steve Jobs wasn't a real CEO, he cared much more about the products than the quarterly sales figures and growth in future markets.

I highly doubt Apple would be making 10 billion profit per quarter under Jobs.
But I also doubt we would see a lot of these software bugs falling through the cracks, not to say they were non-existant under Jobs, but I think the ship ran a little more orderly under his eye.

Forestall despite everything, also ran an orderly ship, IOS6 was by far the least buggy operating system ever put out.

yeah yeah, Apple maps blah blah blah

This.

mine is crashing and drains battery like crazy

Hey set your iPad Pro on 70% brightness and see how that fairs for you. I noticed that this is the optimal brightness setting for optimal battery life. You should be able to get around 10 hours without any issues...
 
Tim Cook said his engineers cannot replicate the same issue. So this may take sometime because he has to talk to the media fisrt.
 
Jobs was more than a CEO.
Exactly, to say Cook isn't a good CEO because of comparison to Steve Jobs is just silly. Apple is the biggest and most profitable company in history, it's a tad silly to say he is bad at his job.
 
Not going to be the guinea pig on any OS update. Ever.

Someone always has to be. It never has to be me :)
 
In the 1997, Microsoft introduced the Internet Explorer 4.0 for NT and Windows 95. It did the sane thing: While the browser itself was not strictly speaking the root cause if the problem, it reliably crashed the computer from time to time.

Seriously?? They couldn't depot repair/replace for you???
 
Yes yes yes. I am getting this all the time. I thought it might just be defective since I've never had an iPad with so many soft reboots. I'm on a 128GB WiFi+LTE model.
 
The crashing problem has been there since the iPad was released it's just that it is still crashing on 9.3.2 not that it is causing to crash. I went through 3 replacements at the Apple Store And they have all crashed. I set them all up as new. Apple store told me it is software and would be fixed with an update. I have not used the final version enough yet to know if i is going to crash on the final build for me.
 
Hmmm.... Apple seems to be slipping, but I really, really don't like the Microsoft environment or Android. I hope Apple wake up and smell the coffee about quality control, even if they don't produce new products like clockwork.... boring clockwork, that is. Right now it's like the developers who update their apps every week. Frankly, I'd prefer it was right the first time. Also, why is it still the case in 2016 when something goes wrong we, as consumers paying for a good user experience, get 'Error number 666: WTF? You can't interpret this code. Ha ha ha.'?
