So it's already appearing on iPhones in the uk.

Who's excited?

I will be.

For 10 minutes.

quad_red · 13-09-2016 4:05pm

Hasta la vista.... stocks.

FourFourRED · 13-09-2016 4:19pm

I doubt it's appearing on phones in the U.K. as it isn't out yet.

They're probably running the beta of GM, it drops world wide at the same time.

I think you will like it. Have it since Beta 2 and it's the nicest update since iOS &

That came out last week.

Presumably there will be huge delays in downloading this for a day or so?

Zcott · 13-09-2016 4:51pm

It'll be busy alright - worth hanging on for a bit I'd say.

FourFourRED · 13-09-2016 4:54pm

If you have fast wifi and check for an update at 6pm you should probably be fine. Make sure you have an iCloud or iTunes backup done first.

Downloading now

Doodah7 · 13-09-2016 5:18pm

Downloaded and currently installing. The download took less than ten minutes for me.

RobertKK · 13-09-2016 5:32pm

My download says about 30 minutes remaining...but it seems to be speeding up a little.

Then 30 seconds later it says 24 minutes.
Downloading since before 6.10pm.

Doodah7 · 13-09-2016 5:35pm

Abort the install if you can!! Bricked my 6S with the connect to iTunes screen coming up. Big thread on macRumors about it...

jakdublin · 13-09-2016 5:36pm

Installing on iPad, still downloading on iPhone after about half an hour.

keith_d99 · 13-09-2016 5:37pm

Mine OTA update botched .... Have the connect to itunes graphic up!

Bricked mine aswell :mad:

FourFourRED · 13-09-2016 5:40pm

"Update: Some users are reporting that iOS 10 has bricked their devices, so it may be wise to make a back up before upgrading or hold off on downloading the update for now."

finno · 13-09-2016 5:46pm

Mine installed fine

How does one stop the download process? Quick replies appreciated!

Don't let it install. Once it downloads choose later for the install prompt. Then delete the download file from settings > general > storage and iCloud usage > manage storage.

dib · 13-09-2016 5:49pm

Great. Thanks a million. It just downloaded so I'll do that. Phew!

adox · 13-09-2016 5:49pm

Downloaded and installed on iPad Air and 5s.

Haven't really kept up to date with what changes it brings but one immediate annoyance on the phone is the lock screen. I seem to have to use my fingerprint and press the home button to unlock, which seems a very weird move.

The benefit of the removal of slide to unlock is you have quick access to the camera (swipe right to left) and your widgets screen (swipe left to right) from your lock screen.

Yes that is correct and it is a great feature.

Slide to unlock is gone. You now use fingerprint sensor and button to unlock.

It then means sliding to left quickly brings up the camera whilst the sliding to the right brings up widgets and notifications.

It's really good once you get used to it and has removed an unnecessary slide to unlock step.

jakdublin · 13-09-2016 5:58pm

No problem installing on iPad air. Waiting apprehensively for iPhone.

adox · 13-09-2016 5:59pm

Ha thanks lads. Completely forgot about the swipe to unlock.

Need to watch some YouTube videos on it.

Sarn · 13-09-2016 6:01pm

All updated. However, I will not be keeping the localised version of Siri. It's fairly poor.

Give it chance before you enable "rest finger to unlock". You'll get used to it.

I've enabled rest finger to unlock and it just makes things easier. Still have access to the camera and widgets from the home screen. Just cuts out having to press the home button, unless there's something else I'm missing.

I assume his/her point is that on the iPhone 6s if that's what you have, because the Touch ID is so fast, if you press your home button to read your notifications, it will bring you to the home screen very quickly. Virtually bypassing the lock screen.

Personally though I prefer having that setting on. Don't want to have to press the home button to wake the screen and press it again to get to the home screen. Unnecessary step for me. I'm used to taking my finger off the home button in time to read notifications if I need to.

Ah ok. Its a 5s I have so still have that delay. Makes sense alright for the faster fingerprint scanner on the newer generations.

Worth noting the setting is rest finger to open, not to unlock. It unlocks both ways as it's using Touch ID. Once unlocked though it requires that extra click to open the phone.

mailforkev · 13-09-2016 6:38pm

What a pain in the hole, am proper computer-less at the moment so have had to use a borrowed PC laptop to try and unbrick my phone.

The iTunes download keeps crapping out too, could be in for a long night...

Sad Professor · 13-09-2016 6:40pm

Yeah, I should have said that I'm coming from a 6s perspective. So I only have to raise the phone to wake it and then press the home button once (because Touch ID is so fast) to unlock. I like it this way as it makes Touch ID practically invisible. I also prefer that it doesn't open with just Touch ID so that I don't accidentally unlock the phone while it's in my hand but not being used.

I can understand why 5 and 6 users might want to enable this, though..

Sono · 13-09-2016 6:40pm

Super upgrade, iMessage additions are great craic!

space2ground1 · 13-09-2016 6:48pm

I'm not mad about the iMessage redesign. Call me old fashioned but I just want the text and smiles or to send photos or video. Is there a way to do this?

I've also just spotted there's no way to slide down the predictive text on a safari text field. That's gotta go!

I come from a different persepectiive and have "Raise to wake" disabled. I don't want my phone waking from sleep everytime I lift my phone off a surface or whatever. Seems inefficient from a battery point of view.

xabi · 13-09-2016 6:52pm

What happened messages? I want the old one back due to the fact that I'm an adult.

I find it works really well. I rarely notice it turning on when it wasn't supposed to. And it turns off again very quickly, so it's pretty efficient and saves you having to press the sleep button on/off just to check the time.

But re: inefficiencies, I hate the way the screen activates every time you adjust volume using the earphone controls. Drives me mad! Does it even when the screen is face down.

awec · 13-09-2016 7:13pm

Is it just me or do things all look bigger or something?

mad muffin · 13-09-2016 7:20pm

iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 updated tootsweet 🤑👍🏼

awec · 13-09-2016 7:23pm

Is anyone elses keyboard not predicting or auto correcting?

Cianmcliam · 13-09-2016 7:27pm

iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 updated without a hitch. iPad seems faster and smoother. Safari performing noticeably faster. No huge changes from 9 at first glance. The keyboard sounds will have to go!

mad muffin · 13-09-2016 7:49pm

Only glitch so far is on my iPhone 6 the volume for the system sounds is screwed up. The higher the volume the lower and I have ringer set to not change with buttons.

I would see that as a good thing, awful feature.

keith_d99 · 13-09-2016 7:57pm

OTA Bricked @ 6pm ... 2 form authentication turned on ... Couldn't access code as my phone was bricked
Had to find other iphone ... swap out sim to get code

On the fifth attempt to download through iTunes

And now the dog has chewed the laptop charger cable ... I kid you not!

Ok I know what this is. It's the text to speech I had turned on to try.

It seems that Apple never fixed this glitch. It's been there since forever.
