...yes, which means they didn't test as thoroughly as they should. Quality testing should be done on each carrier, build, hardware configuration, storage size, etc...

Apple Releases iOS 10.0.3 for iPhone 7 With Cellular Connectivity Bug Fix

Thanks, I've tried that but it still doesn't work correctly. I have tried using both Bluetooth and Wifi, with 2 MacBooks that previously were able to connect to the same phone. The Macs recognize the hotspot, it shows up in the wifi list and says it connects, but there's no internet available (when the phone's LTE connection is fine on the device itself).
They are minor your correct but are becoming more frequently with every update. Nothing wrong with people wanting a stable update and is something Apple should be capable of doing.
Which unfortunately might still not uncover all the potential issues especially ones that seemingly don't affect all the devices (or any particular/specific configuration) and seem somewhat more spread out in various senses of that word. It's not to say that exactly applies to this situation, but it certainly seems like a fairly good possibility.
So this might of been my girlfriends issue. She's on her second iPhone 7 replacement as she lost service on the first two phones. The first one stopped working after a day and the second after a week. Her third one has been working fine for a week now. No issues with mine at all. Apple had no idea what the issue was and was amazed that two brand new phones had the same issue. Even with a new SIM card.
Not sure. I know 2 individuals who have been dropping calls on Verizon with 6s' since 10.0.2?
Just got my 7Plus in today, spent an hour restoring all my settings, went to install this update via iTunes (OTA wouldn't connect to server) and promptly bricked the phone. Now having to start all over again. Oh well, never have had that happen before, so I guess I was due.
I know its a pain to re-enter passwords but have you tried resetting network settings - my wife's phone was only working using wifi calling (she works from home) and this update fixed the problem
Just playing devil's advocate here, but if companies tested products until there was a 100% success rate, we would never have new products.
I find it highly unlikely that Apple doesn't test each carrier, build, hardware configuration, storage size, etc. Do you honestly think Apple would take that risk...? Have you considered that Apple only saw a problem on an extremely small percentage of phones or didn't see that problem at all in their testing, so they went ahead with their product?
Pro Tip..
If you have access to iTunes and enough storage on the computer running it. Then ALWAYS use iTunes to do a full backup with encryption turned on with your old phone.. then restore from that same backup with your new phone. While iCloud does a good job of getting everything back the way it was.. it can be hit or miss. Especially if you have a large iCloud backup file. iTunes doesnt miss anything. It does a full restore from the exact state the phone was in. All of your passwords, settings, data will be be perfectly restored. iTunes also restores all health, financial/payment information too.
You will still need to re-add Apple Pay cards and also do your fingerprints all over again. But by far the most secure and reliable way to switch from an old iPhone to a new one.. or to backup & restore is still by using iTunes and lightning-to-usb cable. Shame Apple doesnt supply a lightning to USB3 cable.. as the process could really fly.
I noticed that the phones (2 7+'s) now stay on VZW Wi-Fi while in the house. Before it was a crap shoot...
Respectfully, I'm not agreeing with that. I'm at a job site in rural WA but with direct line-of-sight of an ATTWS tower (which I helped install years ago, so I know where it is), and my mom is staying at our guest facility. Her ATTWS iP6S is still on 9.3.5, while my personal iP6S is on 10.1B4 and my work iP6S is on 10.10.2 - her iPhone shows "4G" indoors and "LTE" outdoors while my two iPhones show "No Service" indoors and "LTE" outdoors in exactly the same place at the same time.
The VZW iPhones are still having issues, to be fair. I'm tethered to my VZW iPad Pro right now (still loving UL data...) - my iPad Pro is solid LTE while in USCC territory but my iP6S+ (yes, I carry 3 phones because my clients don't care how they reach me!) is on VZW 1x - both are on 10.1B4, so the B4 FW isn't any better than B3 at this point - and none of my company's iPhones is "seeing" 10.0.3 yet...
Not sure. I know 2 individuals who have been dropping calls on Verizon with 6s' since 10.0.2?
Thanks for the information. I could of been wrong..
I was updating my 7 Plus through iTunes, and then all of a sudden, my phone said "Press to Recover". Now it shows the white apple screen with the status bar that says "Attempting data recovery". Anyone else getting this?
Update: Let it keep going, and everything booted up fine! No problems here!

Really because last I checked:
- iOS 2 was slow and quite unresponsive.
- iPhone 4's were bricked with update in 2009
- Antenna Gate on iPhone 4
- Numerous iOS 6 bugs at launch
- MobileMe
- OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 - User Account bug that wipe people hard drives (mine included)
Phew, I was afraid they were going to tell me to buy a bumper case for it!! How is this fix working for you guys? I've had a lot of issues with Verizon on my 7+ so I'm hoping this truly resolves it.
The fix isn't working with my 7 plus on T-mobile. I keep getting a "Could not connect to cellular network" error. I have gone through the troubleshooting process with a rep, and they have a trouble ticket for the network in my area. I thought this fix would do the trick but it has not. It was perfect with my 6s plus. But not anymore.
HEY GUYS! Does this fix this totally unrelated problem not mentioned anywhere in this updates release notes?!
I've had three iPhone 7s, and none of them had any connectivity problems with VZW.
Is there going to be a fix for iPhone 6. Since downloading the iOS 10.0.2 beta I have been having problems connecting to network. I have tried downgrading and updating through iTunes, deleting beta profile, removing sim and resetting network settings l. Nothing is working.i may get connection for a few hours during the day and then it drops.

That really sucks cause iPhone 6 is having similar issues with network connectivity. Don't know why they didn't consider us
It sounds like the iPhone 7 issues were specific to something with iPhone 7 line of phones (perhaps something related to the modems that are used in those or something like that).
Murphy says that no matter how much you test, the bugs will appear in what's left over.
