Are there actually any bugs in the final release candidate?

iOS 10 GM is quite smooth to me. Initial ones have lots of bugs in Apple Music and Safari apps.. Now better...
iOS is really one of the best release imo.

For me the biggest remaining problem of the GM is its Bluetooth connectivity, which still works very randomly in both the car (VW) and the external speaker (Bose). What happens is that the iPhone pairs itself with a Bluetooth console, then a few seconds later drops the connection (Bluetooth icon goes greyed out) and would not attempt to reconnect unless I turn Bluetooth off and then reconnect it from the list of Bluetooth devices in Settings. Quite annoying, especially in a car. I know that Bluetooth itself is a tricky protocol with different versions & compatibility issues, but I do not recall it being so patchy in iOS 8-9. Submitting it as a GM bug report to Apple.
Totally and utterly untrue. There is tons of bug free code, it is just that programs have become very complex in the later years and impossible to test every scenario. But for very simple devices, you can write 100% bug free code.

"And what they ended up with was seL4, to the best of their knowledge "the world's first 100% verified 'bug free' embedded software." The verification process they implemented eliminated a wide range of exploitable errors, such as design flaws and common code-based errors, buffer overflows, null-point dereferences, memory leaks, arithmetic overflows, and exceptions."

Interesting that this thread has devolved into a discussion of whether any code can be bug-free, when the OP just wanted to know if it's safe to use the GM on all his/her devices. But, I too digress.
I've been running iOS 10.0.1 since the GM was made available the other day and it's been fine. I don't disbelieve people who've mentioned issues here (Bluetooth connectivity, not being able to end calls on a 6 Plus), but neither of those has occurred for me. As with all OS releases, the longer you wait, the more likely Apple will provide dot upgrades that fix bugs. However, I'm going to continue using iOS 10 unless something serious shows up.

As in the button literally isn't there to tap. It just shows the wallpaper and the contact name.
What if you tap the contact name or perhaps hit the home button to return to the home screen and then hit the green call bar that should be at the top?

Although the post itself seems to imply that's the question, the thread title kind of gives it a different spin, depending on how one takes it.
Nope. I've tried everything. I have to let the other party hang up. Pisses me off as my boss does this thing where he tries to hang up before his subordinates ... it's the small things.
It doesn't always do it and I can't figure out what triggers it. I called AMEX just to dial a number to not bother anyone and the UI was there.
Funny you should mention that. Since my earlier post, I launched iBooks and was presented with a list of purchased books to update. Tapping some of the update buttons caused a new version to download, but others do nothing. I don't know what update does, since the non-updated books are still readable.
Yeah, but this applied to about 10 books at once, so that seems unlikely. The odd part is that I can still open the ones that weren't updated.
