Apple Says Over-the-Air iOS 10 Update Issue is Fixed

Yep, for some of us, we remember when the bar for Apple was higher and are disappointed that it has sagged so low. For others, with no reference point, Apple's current behavior seems fine. As to Samsung, no one really has ever had a high bar there, so anything is better than nothing. It is not really hard to understand.

Nope.

The biggest mistakes in Apple's history were mede when you believe "the bar was higher".

The bar, and the scale, are much higher now.
 
I downloaded the update on my iPhone 6 and waited to install it after I read about the issue. When it stated it was fixed, I ran the update. The bar was almost completed for around 5 minutes. Then my iphone went black and still is for over 5 minutes now. I am charging it during the OTA update.

Ok, just see that it restarted after 6 minutes which felt like an eternity :)

Edit: Now the bar is at 50% - I think that is normal if I recall that correctly.

I'm pretty confident it isn't fixed after seeing initial posts I decided to hold off after seeing this post I gave it a go. I've been waiting for the update to complete for about an honor ur now.

I also think it is short term memory for people who praise Steve so much. Failures like Lisa, Mac TV, Apple III, G4 Cube. Steve is brilliant, but he flopped many times and blamed everyone but himself for every issue and every problem. Even when it was his fault completely. He never wanted to say sorry or take the blame. My gawd, he dragged the mother of his child through the mud over DNA matching him.

He tried to sell Pixar just to get out of the company for $50 mm but no one would buy it. He didn't want it. Later it sold for $7bb. He is not always right. We love him, but he screwed up and would blame this glitch on everyone but him. That's not a leader.

My phone bricked during the install. I did not back up my phone, but I was able to hook it up to my Macbook Pro and update the install. It took about two hours to resolve the problem.
 
I hate the way mail works now, with the left/right arrows. I hate that I can't yet figure out how to hide predictive text in messages. So far, I'd say iOS9 > iOS10

I am stunned, surprised, and completely impressed. He was an awful person - I never thought I'd read such an accurate post here.

Some iDevices bricked, problem solved in one hour ---> OUTRAGE!

Problem wasn't solved in an hour for those who did the update before Apple corrected the OTA issue.

There's an old expression - a recession is when your neighbor loses his job, a depression is when you lose yours. In other words, a little empathy wouldn't hurt those who are throwing daggers at the ones affected by the issue.

Steve would never have allowed you to say this!

Really though, people seem to ignore things like that.

This is more like walking into the crosswalk with the "right of way", and getting hit by a truck.

You're right, but you're still dead.

About an hour after this was posted on MacRumors I went into settings and queued up the update on my 9.7 iPad Pro. It just finished (my internet connection isn't exactly blazing fast here). AAAAND we have a "bricked" iPad. iTunes is telling me that I'm going to have to download and install 9.3.5 and restore it. I did, of course, back it up beforehand. So nothing lost; but still, it's pretty evidently NOT fixed.

Tens of millions devices upgraded simultaneously, some small scale problems promptly fixed. The ones "affected by the issue" did not have burned cars or children, they just had to plug the devices into a computer, and that's it.

I remember very well the myriad of problems downloading systems updates under the Steve Jobs tenure, despite the ridicously smaller installed base.

There is great entertainment every September. Love the whining, the apple apologists, brilliant ideas, simple solutions (sarcasm), people wanting to be first to get their hands on the new iPhone, people wanting to install the new OS as soon as its live. September is a great month.

There is no way tens of millions of devices upgraded simultaneously in the first hour. I'd be surprised if it were over 100k devices, or even 10k devices.
