I'm sure there have been, because anytime there's an iOS update, there are plenty of people that run into errors, usually caused unintentionally by the user.


Make a backup of your iPhone first, and then update if you choose to. I recommend updating via iTunes & USB, not via wi-fi, personally.

I have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5s and after updating to the new software yesterday neither of mine will work on WIFI - no matter what. Apparently there is some type of glitch in the software according to tech support at ATT. I was told to back up my phone on my computer and then to restore it to the factory settings and then use the backup to restore the iPhone. 😟

Well my issue is that after the update, even though I can see that my phone is connected to the AT&T network, I can't make calls or send texts, every time I try either I get a call failed or text not sent, and also if people try to call me or text me they go straight to my voicemail or the get a message not received. I don't know why because my SIM card is new but I've kept my phone number with AT&T for almost 4 years and I've also used an iPhone 3GS and I didn't have any issues with the 3GS, but the 4S is having problems right after the 7.0.6 update, I've tried turning cellular data off, turning wifi off, taking the sim in and out, resetting network settings and airplane mode, but they've only fixed the issue for a minute. Also when I can finally make a call, it drops or the person I'm calling can't hear me. Please apple, please us customers are begging for a fix for these issues, I really like these devices and would love to keep on using them. Can anyone provide another solution?

I have a 4S and have had nothing but problems lately. First my Wi-Fi was grayed out intermittently so I upgraded to 7.0.6 on the advise of AT&T. Now it’s still grayed out intermittently. The phone also reboots during phone calls and completely freezes multiple times a day. I called Apple support and did remote diagnostics with them, did a restore via iTunes to format the phone and start over, same problems still exist. They found nothing wrong other than my battery looked like it was possibly going bad. I get the same thing as others have posted "its out of warranty so the problem is mine". I really believe that these are software glitches. It’s not a hardware problem in my opinion. Or could it possibly be that my phone is almost 2 years old and its built to fail so that I have to sign another 2-year contract?

My iphone 4s is stuck on the connect to itunes screen....Its been connected to my computer since I started the update, as its the only way I can update my phone, since my wifi button hasn't been going for the past couple of updates ago!!!!!! Same with my 4th gen ipod too!!

Apples ********!! I used to love them but now with all the problems & demands they've been giving me to fork out $800 within a week is just unbelievable!! I can't afford that!!!!!!!!!
