Still no acknowledgement either. My wonder if this affects the new iPhone SE and iPad pro tomorrow how well that look for Apple? A newly released brand new product, after installing some apps and it gets this bug!?! How will this be perceived by new iPhone and iPad owners?
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

Downgrade to iOS 9.2 is not a solution. A possible solution is restore to a backup (9.3 is good) pre 25 March and disable the apps update. Some users (and my friend) report that this worked. I've explained why some posts ago, I'm lazy to write it again.
(9.2.1 and all the iOS 9.x uses the same Universa Linking and WebSharedCredential services, so iOS 9.3 is not the problem, the problem is a service who went update -not for all- during the iOS 9.3 upgrade)

At least I'm not alone...
I disabled Javascript and that seems to help Safari, but not my email.

Wow still no fix from Apple. Using Chrome is a much better fix than disabling JavaScript, FYI. And for Safari, just set the search engine to Bing so that at least Safari isn't totally useless for searching. With Chrome you can press and hold links to open in new tab on links that don't work in Safari. I just switch back and forth depending on what I'm doing.
Using another search engine doesn't work for me. Same problem. Also it affects other websites now (I don't remember that it did this from the start). For example, I can't even click on the link from the Macrumors home page to get here!
The Apple support Twitter feed is flooded with reports about this issue - but just automated replies in response like 'We're here to help. DM me the details of the device you are using.'
Why can't Apple give formal updates on the problem and their progress. Don't they care?

You are a very patient guy.
Where I work we have much tighter SLAs for production services... If this is Apple way of dealing with faults I really hope they keep their cloud services with aws and gcs instead of bringing it in house.... Just imagining how long an outage would last if they insource that.
Companies don't generally provide public status updates unless there's something worthy of one. At this point the latest update is that they are working on fixing the issue as soon as they can.

What's happening so far is on par with how many of these types of issues have been and are generally handled by most companies. None of this is to say it's great or couldn't be better, but that it's the reality of it all.

Nobody mentioned a class action?! There's a disclosure in the iOS TOS were Apple mention that is not responsible for a software disservice and bla bla bla?! Also Google will have a loss from this Apple bug, 30/40% of all apple users can't click on Google and clicks are money!
Acknowledged where? Unless you phone or chat to support individually, which I have. But not on webpage, Apple home page, Twitter, global notification, Apple store app etc.
Would be nice for them to put something up on the Apple page.
This is not an official position or press release. Is just something from a low grade employee who said "yeah we know the problem, don't bother us, we will release a fix sometime and somewhere...that's ok? Translate into something that seems official and bye bye"
typical response to a journalist, I know very well unfortunately You are for sure an apple evangelist or something, how can you think that almost a week after the issue surfaced and still no fix is fine?

"APPLE FACES CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OVER IPHONE SOFTWARE"

C DM all of us here are using Apple beautiful technology since 20 years ago and more, due to the high reliability of Apple! But this doesn't exclude us to mention a very big error from apple. Our patience is over!
They almost never do that. It would be uncharacteristic of Apple to do that. They do (and already have) issue statements to tech blogs. It's how they typically communicate regarding issues with software.
Every 5 posts you tell someone that Apple has acknowledged it and is working on a fix like that means it's ok and we shouldn't complain...
Lawsuits exists for all kinds of things--not all things are the same nor do all lawsuits end up having merit.

It doesn't mean anything of the sort. People are asking about things and I and others reply as to what the latest is. It doesn't say anything about anyone not complaining or that it's all a good situation. Perhaps not reading more into things that aren't actually there would be better?
I would say Macrumors via TechCrunch is not an official channel. Who knows where they get their information? Some Apple support guy like the rest of us? the clue's in the name - rumors
