After just three days of release the new software is running on an incredible 22.31 percent of compatible iOS devices out there. “We are getting reports of connectivity issues & Apple is working on a fix”. Legere on Thursday asked T-Mobile subscribers to not install iOS 10, until the issue is fixed, which Apple promised to resolve within 48 hours. T-Mobile has been one of the most vocal with T-Mobile CEO John Legere saying earlier in the week the iPhone 7 is a “phenomenon” and that preorders have far exceeded that of the iPhone 6.
Fortunately, Apple released a patch for this problem last night for T-Mobile customers who had already updated to iOS 10. They downloaded the update via wireless and after installing it, users have noticed that the screen turned black and there was a message prompting them to plug the handsets into a computer.
While this error isn’t as bad as the troubles Samsung is experiencing with its volatile Galaxy Note 7 phones, Apple isn’t enjoying the best week either.

iOS 10 was launched on September 13, but it had a rough roll out, because users who attempted to install it encountered big problems and they ended up bricking their devices.
