Some Sprint Users Unable to Connect to LTE After iOS 9.3 Update, Fix in the Works [Update: Resolved]

[John.B]

If this is a carrier update issue from Sprint, why is the article still titled as an iOS 9.3 issue?

Clickbait.

So much for being the "most stable release of an update" ever.

I'd prefer to say I'm surprised at how buggy Apple's recent releases are, but the all powerful, all influential, always arrogant Cupertino Company doesn't seem to care about delivering the quality experience they brag about. Now they're the 800lb. Gorilla that lumbers through the Apple Eco System Fat, Happy and a bit oblivious.

And this has exactly what to do with the Sprint issue here?

So even after the update breaking their internet, sprint users have the same quality of service huh.

Sprint = zero service

It has everything to do with it.

And previous to Sprint, a very similar issue with nearly identical symptoms took out hoards of Verizon iPhones.

Apple has VOLUNTARILY created and promoted the "It Just Works" slogan.

However when Apple fails and it doesn't just work... Like magic, an army of Apple sympathizers, excuse makers, and others appear out of the clear blue to let Apple off the hook.

You do understand that carriers put out their own updates in relation to this that have nothing to do with Apple, right?

This is more appropriately named as it would appear to be a carrier update issue from boost mobile, er, I mean Sprint (sorry, I get all the bottom-feeder cellular providers confused sometimes ).

Weird. I noticed issues - with my phone staying locked on 3G despite being 900 feet from a Sprint tower with LTE and Band 41. Then, a few days before 9.3 dropped (I was on the beta program) I got a pop-up saying that I had a new carrier settings update. I clicked on it and the LTE stuff seemed to be more widely available and at much higher speeds.

Curious.

It appears that this has turned into the 'facts be damned bash Sprint at all cost, because no other carrier has had connection problems before' thread.

Sprint is 1 of the more notorious for service issues just saying....

Yep....
