The latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system, which powers the iPhone and iPad, iOS 10, has suffered issues during its launch with reports of it “bricking” devices. Millions of users have accessed the update, however, some users have reported their smartphones and tablets crashing. Apple issued a statement confirming a “brief issue with the software update process affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability”, but this has now been fixed. Users of the iPhone and iPad in the UK with a compatible device – iPhone 5 and newer, or iPad mini 2 and newer – are eligible for the update. The firm’s Apple Music has also been redesigned as part of the update, having been criticised for causing confusion when it launched in 2015.
