That class action talk has been around for years and years, and yet here we still are. They provide a long beta period and a number of weeks even after the release with the previous version still being signed. That said, being able to downgrade at least to the last release of the previous major version would certainly be good.
Got a tip for us?

You hit the nail the head. At my company, we are finding all sorts of corporate applications breaking. That statement is accurate as of today, Oct 19, 2016. Four or five weeks is not enough time for corporations to upgrade their systems.
There's no reason for anyone not to be running iOS 10 now on any of their compatible devices. iOS 10 is smoother, faster and more delightful than all previous versions of iOS. I urge everyone to upgrade.
One reason: The music app SUCKS! And since listening to music accounts for most of my usage of my iPhone, I chose not to upgrade.
No it is not, battery life it is not "normal" still for many of us on older devices also missing slide to unlock....
Well, my iPhone SE, still on 9.3.5, will probably be updated to iOS 10 in a few months, when the initial wave of bugs and inconsistencies is gone. Besides, some of the new flag features (like the new iMessage, the new Notification Center / Widgets ) didn't call my atention.
I'm not one of those that prefer to stick to old versions just for the sake of it, specially with all the security fixes that keep on coming on current versions. It's just that, in my iPhone 4 days, I got a little burned (is it correct to say that?
) for the huge performance hit it took after iOS 7. After that, I tend to think that 2 iOS upgrades are safe for one kind of device, but the third... well.. That's why my other iPhone, a 5S, will most certainly stay on 9.3.5, even if some tech sites keep on saying iOS 10 is fine even in iPhone 5 / 5C hardware..

I feel you. I have iOS 3.1 on an original iPhone.iOS 6 club on iPhone 5.

Evolution started that many years ago. Probably just best to accept it.
I mean, I'm pretty bummed the Dodo is not around anymore, but C'est la vie ( or in this case C'est mort ).
