Apple's release of an IPSW-only beta update today has raised speculation that the company is having technical difficulties with their OTA (over-the-air) roll-out process, which provides users with updates directly to their device through the settings applications.

We can now confirm through an anonymous source that Apple's OTA servers are suffering a malfunction, and attempts to fix them have not been successful with Apple resorting to releasing the update anyways.

This is due to an internal bug-fix timeframe that deems a build unsafe if it isn't deployed on schedule.

Reports suggest the server failed to deploy the correct build during internal testing earlier today. Whilst we have no specifics, we can say that Apple expects the issue to be resolved within the coming 48 hours.

Sometimes you gotta wonder what apple is actually doing in these beta builds. I hope 10.3 is another big update like 9.3 was last year. That version made me love iOS 9 because it finally was smooth, many glaring bugs were finally addressed, and we got Night Shift as an added bonus!

iOS 10 hasn't been as rough as iOS 9 was but it still absolutely has tons of glaring weird bugs that need attention. There are performance problems like iOS 9, but the things that struggle aren't things you interact with every single day, so it doesn't bug me as bad. I just want to see the buggy iPhone 7 animations get fixed and I want to see the new quick reply screen get attention, it's so buggy.
