Maybe if Tim, Craig, Eddy, Phil, Dan and Jony got a raise, stuff like this wouldn't happen as frequently...
Well, I think this is the most unstable IOS release ever. I can't use Safari for very long on either my Iphone 6 or Ipad Air 2 until it freezes and become unresponsive. I can't google anything, so I'm now using Puffin.
I have uninstalled the Booking app, but that didn't help. Fix please!

How do you equate number of people looking at a thread to number of people actually having a problem? If you are familiar at all with this "Internets" thingy, you will know that number of clicks correlates to social media noise, not reality.
To me, 9.3 has been the worst iOS update ever. Problems with the activation and then for the following 2 days my iPad Air ran like cr@p. Safari and with that my whole iPad had a freeze festival. After about 10 reboots or so suddenly the thing ran smoother.
Not impressed. El Capitan was a disaster of an upgrade for me as well. Do we really need yearly update cycles for OSes? I wish Apple would concentrate on quality - not quantity

Not for me. I cant access the inbox on my calendar app on my iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus or iPad Air 2 since the upgrade. Just crashes back to home screen. If anything this is the least stable version of iOS i've ever used (since iOS 1)
You sound like a very young grasshopper, which you admit....
Writing code that does something isn't the hard part. Finding all the 1,000,000+ ways your code can fail IS the hard part.
For example, early on, you'll write some code to have a person enter a number, enter another number, then your code will add the two numbers together to get a result. Then, you'll try rudimentary error checking, like making sure people are typing numbers in and not letters. Then people will type something like -1, will you see that as a number? What about 5.02 ? What about 5.02-5.01? Is that even valid? It has all the same symbols (numbers 0-9, periods and minus signs)? What about 99999999999999999999999999? Is that okay? Is that number too large to hold? Do you catch this error? How do you tell the user? Do you limit the input?
This is just a simple program. More complex ones have exponentially more error points. It's great to get something working, but finding all the possible errors is the toughest part. Which is why people say that a program always has bugs.
For me this is the worst update I have ever had since day one with the original iPhone. My iPhone 6Plus stutters and locks up. I've had it restart about 6 times in the past week. This has to be one of the worst updates I've ever felt with. I'm usually one to not talk crap about Apple because I love all my products but this latest update is driving me crazy. I've done two clean reinstalls and still have way to many issues. Please fix the issues fast.
My wife's iPhone 5 is so much more reliable than my much newer 6plus.

Honestly, this is the release that's been bugging me, pun not intended. Whenever I go from a WiFi environment to 3G/4G on my phone, I have to go into Airplane mode, then back out in order to have any kind of network connectivity. 3 read emails? No, those emails are the three that I read 20 minutes ago, but iOS just hasn't bothered to update the unread iCloud message count. Spotlight search? Less than useful. Siri? "Play songs by Barenaked Ladies" responds with "Facetiming Jeff Smith."
Sorry, but this release just screwed the pooch for me.

Congratulations Apple, iOS 9.3 is as stable as iOS 6.0 out the gate. That only took 3.5 years. BRAVO! Just in time for iOS 10 to come along and be a giant bag of hurt like all iOS 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0.

iOS 7 was rampant with springboard crashes especially in the music app. Not sure how so many forget that.
Surely we should evaluate software only based on high-profile bugs. Because trying to take low-profile bugs into account requires extensive data collection that is well beyond the means of the average poster on the Internet and everything that the average poster on the Internet cannot reproduce her- or himself by default cannot be trusted.

Why do think your 6+ is affect in a such a severe manner but the vast majority of 6+ users don't report such problems? Could there be something specific to your phone (that goes beyond the fact that your phone's serial number is dividable by 63)?
On my 6S Plus, 9.3 has had few problems where sound stack crashed and sound was not working. Then yesterday, sound indicator square was not showing up but increasing or decreasing the volume worked.
This is a first time I have come across such instability since iOS 8.0 on Air 1.

I have the larger ipad pro and have had zero problems with this update. In fact, my device is much smoother and the spotlight feature, smart keyboard, safari, and outlook ( best email app for the iPad pro) work flawlessly. I had issues with the previous iOS so nice to see things working correctly.
More like 2.2% of all phones report a crash over a fixed time period. But since we don't know the length of that time period, the '2.2%' number in itself is meaningless. The only thing that matters is the comparison with other OS versions.
This. Does their software measure "system sound volume is stuck at 5%" because that's what I experienced yesterday. Despite the volume showing full blast, I could barely get audio to come out of the speaker across a variety of different sources such as games, videos, etc. Upon rebooting it was instantly fixed. Or what about the one where you can't tap on a person's name who was listed in an email with a few others because their name is directly below the hide label so it's not clickable but every other name is? Then you have to go back in mail, and then select the message again and suddenly that person's name is magically wrapped onto the next line and tapable. iOS still has a ways to go with little glitches that crop up during the day. IMO they're about as bad as a crash because it prevents you from doing something for a while until you can figure out the workaround. Actually that might be worse than a crash because after a crash I can typically reopen the app and quickly resume what I was doing. Bugs and glitches take more time to resolve.
