Well I guess then those Twitter people are liars and need to be shot? Jesus, you act like those damn things cannot possibly have this happen.
Instead of trying to run cover for Apple for some goofy PR reason, it is perfectly ok for iOS users to know that this could happen and to be on the look out.
What part of it was a problem with TRAFFIC do you fail to comprehend, VanDeKoik? It happens EVERY SINGLE TIME Apple announces that iOS updates are available. People try to download when everyone else tries to download and the servers get overloaded. NOTHING crashes, VanDEKook.
The number of people who have had this happen is infinitesimal compared to those who upgrade with ZERO problems.
So far 17% of the users of iOS had upgraded to iOS 9 before Friday. That is over 120 million users so far who have upgraded without running into any of these normal piddly traffic issues, VanDeKoik.
Here's a quote from an earlier article on this, explaining what the complaints were all about:
ERROR MESSAGE . . .One group of users reported that iOS 9 upgrade would fail after several minutes, requiring them to start the process over. Many posted screen shots of the error message they received: "Software Update Failed".
That problem was likely caused by servers that were overloaded when too many people tried to download the upgrade simultaneously, tech analysts said.
"It's like the Black Friday thing," said Bob O'Donnell of Technalysis Research, referring to the major U.S. shopping sale day after Thanksgiving. "Some websites get creamed on the traffic on Black Friday."
Other users, many of them with older devices, reported their devices seizing up on a "swipe to upgrade" page. The latest upgrade had been deemed by Apple as "friendly" to the older devices after the iOS 8 problems.
That last one is hilarious, because there IS no such "swipe to upgrade" page in iOS, and never has been. These are Bozos who are making claims, joined by others chiming in to say "me too" who simply do not own an iPhone or iPad.
Instead of trying to run cover for Apple for some goofy PR reason, it is perfectly ok for iOS users to know that this could happen and to be on the look out.
Some things are simply NOT a problem, except in the delusional world of the FUD spreaders who find something egregiously wrong in everything Apple does. . . like you. . . when there isn't.
Plenty of liars here too so I guess it is not beyond the realm of possibility that there could be liars on twitter.
