So what REALLY new features will it offer, other than causing older devices to crawl or die?

So, pretty much all pointless fluff then. Stating that iOS is now even bigger is not a selling point. Ho hum. |edit| Now now. I must stop being so negative about Apple software. [EDIT II] Sorry. I can't. They make lovely products, but their software is awful. |

So, my phone didn't enjoy that.. It's now at the "Plug me into iTunes and restore me!" screen. .. The restore needs to download. The download is going at approx 2kb/s. *sigh* -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

See. That's why I hate Apple software. Just that. There. What is it with Apple hardware that slows download speed to virtually fuck all? It's the same with the Mac. Superfast broadband means shit to Apple products. |

I imagine, right now, it's the fact that millions of people are all downloading iOS10, so the server's going "WTF? You want iOS 9? Are you crazy!!?!"

Yeah, that might be true to some degree, but I've upgraded and updated my Mac at random times and it never made any difference. Perhaps if Apple decided to splash some of their multi-squillions on more/faster/bigger/better servers it would help. Maybe... |

... I still don't have a working phone. Plugged the phone into iTunes, iTunes started the download. About an hour later, iTunes was mostly done with the download. However, that's when the phone went "Hang on a sec" and turned itself off and on again for no apparent reason. (timeout, I guess) At which point, iTunes went "Oh, the phone's gone, never mind" and DELETED THE RESTORE FILE IT WAS DOWNLOADING. Then iTunes went "Oh, this phone needs a restore!!" and started to download the restore file from scratch.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Went to the Dev site and downloaded the restore file myself, SO IT STAYED THERE, and it's now (fucking better be!) restoring from that. Blank phone = will need to sign into all those bloody Twitter accounts again. Geeeze... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

So, apparently, iTunes needs an update before it knows how to work with the iOS10 installer. I click "Apple Update" and .. wait.. Meanwhile, I think "Maybe the Mac will have better luck", so swing over and bring that to life. iTunes needs to update on there, too! .. It's been about 20 minutes, and both the PC and the Mac are sitting there with a window that says "Installing" (having both managed to download the thing) .. Both of them.. "Installing" ... Both of them.. 20 minutes.. FFS.. *shakes fist* AAAAAPPPPLE!!!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

You're really not selling Apple products to me Jay  Why on earth does Apple still have such rabid and fanatic support? The human race is doomed.

This is the main reason I stopped attempting to use their "Developer Beta!!" stuff. I had to deal with this shit every fucking week!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

My brother's updated his iPad to iOS10 today. An he's just had to factory reset it. I'm glad I don't bother with Crapple updates. |

On the national news they said to wait a day or two before you should try to install the new update. I am on ipad mini 1 and it wil not get the new update i think.

Half one before I got to sleep, last night. It's now 10:45 and I'm still finding things that aren't quite installed properly onto the phone. And the number of passwords I've had to "Forgot my Password" reset since yesterday!! Ludicrous!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Yeah, you don't know these things for sure until you try them. That's what the Beta Testers are supposed to be there for. The problem with having half your userbase sign up for the "Public Beta" version is that you can't know for sure what'll happen on a fresh update. Apple needs to account for that, much more than just having a bazillion fanboy beta-testers! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
