Open the app then immediately close it, problem solved. The updated thing is a little stupid, but I don't think Apple is going to change that anytime soon.

My problem is that, working in the offshore oil industry with very slow satellite internet (15 of us sharing a 500kb/s connection), we don't update apps at work. This means that when I get home I often have 60 or 70 apps to update. It gets irritating!

After using it for a bit now on my iPad Mini 4, I have to say I am not satisfied.
  • Battery life is a bit worse.
  • Some memory intensive apps are touchier.
  • Some functionality (ex: CC) is no longer intuitively simple.
  • Notifications went from okay to a mix of better and worse
  • etc...
Just a number of little things that ad up to be less than it was. There are some better aspects, these however are not impressive nor groundbreaking.

Just my opinion. Take it with salt. Rock salt. Himalayan Pink Rock Salt. ;)

Note: I am not an Apple Music, Siri, or iCloud aficionado. I pretty much don't use them.

All I wanted was the ability to still use my phone while receiving an incoming call.

Granted it's only a mere 30 seconds at most, when I'm on my phone I hate having to wait for it to go to voicemail before I can use my phone again.

You can always decline the call and send it to voicemail as soon as you want.

Very true and usually what I end up doing depending on the caller.

However if I don't want to be reached, declining the call makes it known I have my phone on me which I guess people could take the wrong way.
Or the call didn't make it to your phone, as can happen sometimes due to your connection or something like that. People can certainly assume something, but it doesn't really mean that that's what it actually is.

That said, it sounds like what people want is more of an ignore option.

I looked forward to iOS 10 on my 6 Plus. I knew enough about the new and updated features to know I wasn't the target audience, but I still hold hope that my net result won't be a diminished user experience.

With aging parents, I would truly have appreciated if the core apps Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders evolved more. I'm trying to use Siri more to help, and I grabbed a Widget or two, but I can't help feeling there's room for improvement.

What's killing me is battery life. A dramatic change. If I hadn't recently acquired workable methods to replenish battery while away from home I'd be back on 9.5. My workflow is unchanged and provided great stamina on iOS 9. Unless iOS 10 enabled a bunch of stuff I'm not aware of, Apple's got some work to do to restore functionality to my device. An iPhone 6 is not the dark ages.

I have no plans to upgrade my iPad Mini.

There needs to be a way to edit what apps are available in slideover/sidebar view. Cull the herd to make it more usable.

No. A lot of odd issues right and left. I know, I know - x.0 issues, but c'mon... see this as an example below. Happens occasionally when trying to pull down notifications.

[doublepost=1474167192][/doublepost]Also, this. Seriously? Look at the spacing between the dots and the text. This on a new iPad Mini 4. Embarrassing and, IMHO, sloppy work.

iPad one exists in iOS 9 iPad mini 1 already. iOS 10 worsens the situation.

As powerful as the A10 supposedly is, my iPhone 7+ on 10.0.2 runs like absolute garbage.

Extremely laggy in iMessage, Spotify, Safari, app switcher, widgets view. I haven't experienced Spotify lagging and being jittery since... ever. And the battery life is subpar.

I'm sure as iOS 10 matures it'll improve. But my $870 phone sure doesn't feel like much of an upgrade from my 6s Plus running iOS 9.

iOS 10 is solid, smooth, and very functional. But it is not quite what I had hoped for. Day to day for core uses, iOS 10 does the basics I need and expect, but Apple is getting slower and slower relative to the competition when it comes to features and OS innovation. I get the Apple approach to new features, but sometimes Apple feels too conservative in moving forward. From the company that set the standard for the smartphone age in 2007, putting everyone else to shame, the slow evolutionary pace of iOS is getting stale 9 years later. Satisfied, yes. Excited, not for a few years.

I simply refuse to install it now that they've done away with the swipe to unlock. I find it ridiculous in this day and age that they'd remove a fundamental iPhone experience which has been there forever. What is it with Apple first the horrendous flaw in the iPhone 7 hardware and now this? They've really lost their way, Apple.
What is the horrendous flaw in the iphone 7 hardware please?

Well, the iPhone isnt 'supposedly' quicker. It is quicker. Fact proven by benchmarks, 100% of the time.
Leaving your interpretation of laggy (compared to 6s) only up to opinion, and not supported any way shape or form.

Only logical explanation would be a faulty device (which every person on macrumors always claims to have).

Sell your 7 and go back to 6s brah?
