Anyway, in upgrading to iOS 10 on a person’s iPhone or iPad, first, tick on Settings, General, then Software Update.

Apple has a pair of new iPhone models out and with them comes the latest version of its native operating system, iOS 10.

Users flooded social media shortly after Apple’s “biggest release ever” to share images of their devices that were rendered temporarily unusable by the upgrade. What happened next, required users to connect their phone to a PC synched with iTunes to manually force the update.

Reports have surfaced that the iOS 10 update works on some iPhones and iPads while rendering other such devices completely useless (bricked).

Despite the problems with rollout, users are still updating quickly.

Apple advises anyone who was impacted by the glitch to connect to iTunes to complete the update or can contact AppleCare for additional support.

The problem appears while the new iOS is installing, materialising on the black iOS loading screen.

What is wrong with the iOS 10 update? Before you download, it’s also a good practice to make sure your device is backed up. If you wish to remain on iOS 9, select restore.

If you own an iPhone 5, and you want to know if newly released iOS 10 is compatible with your phone’s version, then fret not because it is definitely compatible. It also has new features like “raise to wake”, customization of animation speed, better keyboard and greatly improved battery life.

The update for the Apple Watch was approximately 500 or so megabytes.

WhatsApp with its latest update for iOS brings Siri integration, which will enhance how the app is used on iOS 10.

Apple’s John Paczkowski made a statement regarding the recurring issue for the devices and should now fix everything. But just in case, it would be wise to keep a backup for an iOS device before proceeding with the update.

iPhones bricked as Apple releases iOS 10.0 (and then - rather rapidly - 10.0.1)
