APPLE RELEASED iOS 10 to iPhone and iPad users on 13 September, but the update turned some devices into overpriced bricks instead of delivering new functionality.
iOS 10 was released to all at 6pm UK time on Tuesday, but those who flocked to install the update were quick to regret their decision.
Just minutes after the rollout began, social media sites filled up with complaints from pissed off iPhone users who, after trying to download iOS 10 over WiFi, found that their iDevice had been rendered useless.

Not to be a nit picker, but I was raised with “Tits up” being 2 words.
It’s a great phrase.
I predict that in the next 6 months Hillary will go tits up, which is gross now that I wrote this sentence and have the thought in my brain.
That happened to my T-Mobile mytouch fender. Man that was irritating. And it was out of warrantee.
Imagine buying a brand new car and, after the warrantee expiration, company mechanics come to your house to install an improved engine, and when you try to drive it, it strips out the tranny. And it’s all ON YOU.
This really sucks.
Hmmmm.... I’ve updated two iPhones and an iPad Air 2 since iOS 10 came out yesterday and all three work like a champ. Did all three over wifi too. What was I doing wrong?
Happened to mine too. At first it started ghost typing and changing apps. Then the screen wouldn’t work, then some weird computer code was on the screen, the the iTunes plug screen.
I took it in and they whispered around and gave me another.
What kind of expression is “titsup”?
Same here. Two Iphones and an Ipad updated over Wifi and the tits remain down.
The Chairman of General Motors gave a funny speech in response to comments of Bill Gates, in which Mr. Gates compared progress in computer software to progress in automobile technology. Needless to say, the car business didn't fare well in Bill Gates' estimation.
The G-M Chairman said, this (among other things):
"If cars worked like Windows, every couple of thousand miles your engine would quit, your steering wheel would lock up, and your breaks wouldn't work, and on the dashboard a blue light would light up saying "GENERAL CAR FAULT."Granted, this was back in the '90s, before Windows 95 I think. But still funny.
“What kind of expression is “titsup”?”
==
It’s a combo word: tits+up. Like bellyup.
This is why I wait a day before installing updates on any OS. Let the eager beta tester-types ruin their devices first.
I guess in the corrupted, “X”-rated culture of ours, “bellyup” doesn’t cut it anymore.
The proper expression is Tango Uniform.
Perhaps you should try inverting the iPhone....
What do you care? You don't use any iOS devices. None at all. Apple has stated that they fixed any problems that were effecting people installing iOS 10, most of which were associated with overloaded servers. Nice try.
Anyway, a brain sorbet is called for.
No prob here. iPAD 4 Mini and iPhone. 3 other devices in family. No prob.
What’s up?
I updated five iOS devices so far, all over-the-air, and not one turned into a brick. Also two Apple WatchOSes, no bricks. And an AppleTV. No bricking.
Those that did reported the problem was an easy fix through iTunes.
I don’t own any Apple products but I read “some” to mean possibly a statistically insignificant number, ie, clickbait.
