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

So let me get his straight...
People jumped on the update right away (within the first hour), and there was a problem for some users. Apple fixed the problem within the hour. But this is "total unacceptable", right? Where's the user responsibility on this? Technology is extremely complex, and stuff happens. People should be thanking Apple for responding so quickly instead of berating them for not being "perfect".
I do, thanks - and I still blame Apple for this fail. There is no excuse, none.
10.0.1 was released last week as the GM build, same as being released today to the public there's nothing for you to update to.
the only thing Steve Jobs would not have allowed is the number of comments alleging what Steve Jobs would do or say
GM had a key ignition switch issue where if they keys were too heavy it would turn your car off completely. Was an issue for years that GM chose to ignore it. People died and no one went to jail.
How do you know it was a screwup? What if it was just a timing issue that they had to mitigate with additional steps of action? See the difference?
Not Apple's fault? Are you for real?
The victim blaming and apologism in this thread is beyond the pale.
If most people followed that logic, they'd all get bricked in the second hour...
Do you have Tim Cook's email address ... oh wait those who had their iDevices disabled can't read this anyway, 'cause I'm sure those are the folks who are most thankful.
Guess what? They made a mistake, they acknowledged it, they fixed it. It doesn't matter who they are, whether they have £200 billion in their account, they are all human at the end of the day. NO-ONE is perfect.
This was an issue with the software update mechanism, not the version of iOS. And there's a huge difference between distributing to a controlled, known number of registered users than to the larger population around the world.
No, instead they charge you and hide money offshore
Give it a rest. They don't hide money offshore. That money is not owned by the US.
Do they post that recommendation on the device (before the update) or in some obscure corner of their website? Because if memory serves me right, it just says "download and install" on the device, which is the only announcement most users will see.
The amount of Apple apologists in here... "It's your fault for updating within the first hour" "Technology is complex" "Stuff happens"
It's so hilarious. It doesn't hurt Apple or anyone to admit Apple can fail sometimes as well.

My MacBook Air prompted me three times about not being able to connect to the iCloud Music Library within 2 minutes, but that quickly stopped. No further issues.
So if I started the download like an hour ago (hotel wifi...terrible) do I have to stop it, restart the phone and re-try the download? I'm concerned it's still pulling down the bad file that was out before the fix.
The Cult of Apple handbook clearly states that apologies aren't warranted because the motto is "It just works"
Good point. Like I said in the other thread, only the chumps and suckers download iOS releases so early (on a mission critical device, like your only phone). At least on all my devices they do not push the update with the Settings app red icon badge until they've confirmed there are no issues. Well, usually they don't.
The real question now is who gets Steved for this farkup. Because you know if he still ran Apple then somebody would be having a very, very bad day right now.
