iOS 10 Working Great on PM

Rockdaddy22 — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 20:30:05 GMT

Just wanted to start a thread to let people know, that I haven't encountered any issues with iOS 10 on PM. If you do encounter any specific issues to PM on iOS 10 please share 🙂 I don't foresee any issues, but I guess you never know.

Grrrr...

@Shazia_K, @Rockdaddy22

I already posted this in the other thread, but now I can't find it!

As a former IT Guy, and still heavy into read tech news, I will never update immediately to a .0 release, such as iOS 10

I will let other people have the problems, until the .1 or .2 is released. My devices and computers are too critical for a problem to happen.

I did brick my phone at first lol, but nothing to do with PM 🙂 Obviously I chose to update immediately when it was available, before  had a chance to fix it 😞
I updated tons of iPhones last night and everything's great. My phones great now, just had to finish the update via iTunes.

@stonechucker as you know sometimes .1 or .2 updates come with new features, and those new features can causes problems, so you could constantly be waiting 😞 Plus you can bet every update comes with some security improvements, so I want in ASAP.

And that's another issue for me. Extra stuff in apps that I can't use.

I have a vision impairment, and all these extra emojis and other icon like stuff drive me up the wall. They are nothing but distractions when I'm trying to read a SMS or email etc.

To each their own, but give me the ability to turn them off so I don't have to see them.

I am with everyone who waits and suggest everyone seeing this does as well: iOS 10 bricking phones

Re: iOS 10 Working Great on PM

Rockdaddy22 — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 15:37:21 GMT

I just explained,  fixed it in an hour. So no need to wait now. My phone was "bricked" yesterday. I'll I had to do was plug it in a PC and connect to iTunes. No big deal. Not a true brick, thankfully.

"We experienced a brief issue with the software update process, affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability," Apple said in a statement. "The problem was quickly resolved and we apologise to those customers."

I haven't seen a problem since that first hour, I updated a buch of devices last night. All different generations. I say download and enjoy.

@Luddite, @Rockdaddy22

My point exactly. 10.0 broke a number of devices. 10.0.01 is the first patch. I don't need to deal with the headache, however remote the chance.

Re: iOS 10 Working Great on PM

Rockdaddy22 — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 15:42:55 GMT

@stonechucker it didn't break anything. Not a true brick by any means. That was within the first hour lol

Also goes without saying, make a backup before any OS update, I don't care who it's from. Nothing to fear when you have a backup. 🙂

Yes in general it's almost never a good idea to be first on a new OS update, especially a major version revision (aka 9.x.x to 10.0.0)--it's better to let other people find the issues instead! But it sounds like they addressed the bricking issue VERY quickly after the initial reports, so that isn't a concern. If it was me, I'd still give it a day or two and monitor the Apple support forums (or your favourite tech forums) for any reported issues that may affect you before updating, but that's just me being overly cautious.

Full disclosure--the only iDevice I have is an ancient 4th gen iPod Touch that's stuck on iOS 6.something and will never get any more updates, so I have no direct experience here. Just going on my usual personal policy to OS updates (any OS. I waited months to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to 10 even thought it was free and very available, for example).

@Rockdaddy22,

It doesn't matter to me what others are doing with the update. If they wish to takee the risk, and there is always risk, then let them. I feel the risk isn't worth it until the first few patches are released. That's just the way I am, and you won't convince me to be different.

Re: iOS 10 Working Great on PM

Rockdaddy22 — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 18:19:26 GMT

Not trying to convince anyone 🙂 I just don't want to let the fear mongering on the web scare people. Waiting a few days is definitely sensible, any longer and you're just going without security patches for nothing. People do as you wish, I'm enjoying iOS 10 with millions of others 🤑

Remember this things been beta tested by millions for months. Again, always make a backup 🙂 I'm going to bed now 💤
