T-Mobile Tells Customers Not to Install iOS 10 on iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and SE [Update: Fixed]

[Waxhead138]

If the issue doesn't replicate on other carriers, doesn't that kind of point the issue in T-Mobs direction?

Wait a sec.....that was a slick one John! But T-Mob phones lose network connectivity all the time because there isn't...much of...a network.

Sorry Legere. That isn't IOS 10. That is just the low quality TMobile service.

Sorry Apple and T-Mobile both said it was iOS 10.

If it was an iOS 10 issue, then everyone would be having the problem, not just T-Mobile customers. They pushed a buggy carrier update along with iOS 10 on Tuesday and that's the real culprit here.

I had the connection issue on my 6s with carrier 25.0 during the beta program. I always did OTA updates. I reported it to Apple. When the public version came out I restored and updated via iTunes and got carrier 25.1, the problem has not reoccurred since.

Bad karma for removing the 3.5mm jack LOL.

 

[nviz22]

Welp, I'll be on an iPhone 7+ after the issue is fixed. Doesn't affect me anymore. Got rid of my 6S+ a bit back.

No problems on iOS 10 on my 6 on T-Mo.

 

[ArtOfWarfare]

So these problems didn't exist for T-Mobile customers even until the relase of iOS 10 Golden Master?

How does Apple always manage to sneak one last major bug before a major iOS release? I think it's happened 2-3 years in a row now?

#1 - Sounds like it's exclusive to the 6, 6+, and SE and doesn't occur on the 6S or 6S+.
#2 - Sounds like it doesn't occur for everyone, even if they have those devices.

Interesting. I updated my 6 Plus to iOS 10 last night, and switched carriers from AT&T to T-Mobile this morning. Haven't experienced loss in connectivity yet, and it appears it's running on the 25.1 carrier setting.

I got an SE brand new over the weekend, and 10 is working perfectly with T-Mobile.

So it's safe for 6s+?

As much as I want to try the new iOS 10, I ain't touching it for at least two weeks for initial bugs to get squashed.

I have an iPhone 6S+ on t-mobile and have no problems at all .... but don't know how much that generalizes, but t-mobile mentions only 6, 6+ and SE, so I would assume 6S and 6S+ should be fine.

Wow.

I had this problem since Beta 1 on Polish T-Mobile, hopefully they fix it for Poland too.

 

[ghostface147]

It is also happening on those running 9.3.5.

 

[Steve686]

This is why there is a shortage of phones for preorders and walk-ins this year.

Ios 10 had to ship on iPhone 7, and Apple has been a little late certifying it fully. So....production started last half of August. (ABSOLUTELY my own opinion)

 

[Larry-K]

Pioneers, Arrows, same old story.

 

[IJ Reilly]

FWIW I have AT&T and my iPhone 6 was not able to access Visual Voicemail after the update. Restarting the phone restored it.

 

[KdParker]

Is anyone in this fourm having this issue?

 

[mattyj2001]

Thank goodness my iPhone 7 is arriving tomorrow!

Note to self. Stay out of tunnels for the next 24 hours.

I normally wait 6 months to upgrade - gives them time to workout the kinks. This time, I was really excited about the "Messages" and "CarPlay" updates, so I updated day one. What a mistake. My phone, wifey's and the iPad are all on the fritz. Dropping calls, freezing up and crashing constantly.

CarPlay is worse than it was before... which is really an achievement. I didn't think that could be done.

 

[LuckyBubba]

As an iOS 10 Public Beta Tester for a few months, I haven't had a problem with t-mobile until I recently accepted an update. My phone had to be restarted no fewer than 5 times while driving 6 hours.

 

[quietstormSD]

There is 10.0.1 already out there

 

[golfguy2015]

I have a 6, and have been running all the ios 10 betas with no issue. The only issue ive had is SOMETIMES, when switching between wifi and cellular during a call, it drops. Not sure if thats a ios 10 issue, or a t mobile issue, or a hardware issue. I have a 7 plus coming tomorrow, so we will see if that helps.

If it was an iOS 10 issue, then everyone would be having the problem, not just T-Mobile customers. They pushed a buggy carrier update along with iOS 10 on Tuesday and that's the real culprit here.

That is what is looks like from the outside.

Six months sounds far too long. I've always updated iOS on day one and never had a problem. At this point, any issues like loss of connectivity or bricking are discovered within the first few hours, which is how long I wait.
