Apple suffer glitches with launch of iOS 10

The latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system which powers the iPhone and iPad, iOS 10, has suffered issues during its launch.

Millions of users were quick to access the free update when it became available. However, there have been mixed reports on social media, with some users reporting their smartphones and tablets crashing, with only a connection to a computer via USB fixing the issue, some have claimed.

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 had now been fixed.
