Apple's latest update could wreak havoc on your iPad

18 May 2016

The bug reportedly affects the 9.7 inch iPad Pro, causing the device to lock up. Frustrated users are turning to forums like Apple Support Communities, MacRumors Forums, and Twitter to complain, saying the update gives them an error message that tells them to plug their device into iTunes, which does not resolve the problem. Rebooting then leads to that same error message, leaving users stuck in an endless loop unable to use their devices.

Software updates to Apple's mobile operating system undergo heavy internal testing before getting rolled out to millions, CNET reported. Apple has already released several updates to fix bugs in iOS 9.3, which first debuted in March.

"These glitches frustrate users and raise doubts about a company's ability to fully vet its own software," writes CNET's Lance Whitney.
