iOS 9.3 - Safari/Mail freezes after clicking links on iPhone 6S

iphone 6s upgraded to iOS 9.3 with Booking.com app already pre-installed with described bug. Apple please fix ASAP!

ok guys looking at the thread the only thing Apple is suggesting is a rest of the factory settings which of course is an unacceptabke answer. someone suggested the Booking.com App creates the problem. i deleted the App restarted the phone and had the same problem so that is no solution. I am not a techy but I think the problem originates from an App conflict as my wife has exactly the same phone (6/64) with s lot feeer Apps installed and no issue.

To make Safari work again go to settings and disable Java in the advanced safari settings. This of course is a temporary solution as you will not be able to login towebsires including this one. I am using Puffin to write this post. This will not solve the problem with Mail however which will continue to freeze.

Now let's speak of Apple. I bought my first mac in 1987 and continued to buy Macs even when Steve was kicked out and they were selling crappy products with a lousy operating system. With what Apple is charging for its products today these kind of os bugs are unacceptable and the lack of an official statement is not only unacceptable but an insult to its customers new or old they may be. I hope at keast they will have the decency to deliver an ios upgrade by April 2 which is the date given by Apple support to someone in this Forum.

Using a iPad3, 16 gig: same problem since I upgraded to 9.3 a few days ago. Can't follow links in Applenews, Notes, mail or in Safari . Chrome seems to be working at the moment. As all have said before: VERY FRUSTRATING as there's no way to roll back to earlier iOS...

I dowloaded iOs 9.2.1 through

Installed this .ipsw file in iTunes

Hold the Alt key (on Mac OS X) / the Shift key (on Windows) and hit “restore” in iTunes

iOs Restore went ok but all data is gone from the iPhone 😟 😟

Restore from backup does not work because the latest backup was with iOs 9.3 😟 😟

On my iMac I restored the MobileSync backup folder (1 day before upgraging to 9.3) via Time Machine (~\library\Application Support\MobileSync\Backup\)

Long live Time Machine!!!

Now I could restore my iPhone from backup 🙂 🙂

Everything works fine again 🙂 🙂 🙂

Waiting for the upgrade

AAmazin!! So many consumers affected, and Apple still has no respons.

THey think ink it's not an urgent case? I can't believ. And this company said so many words, about customers care. I am very dissapointed.

Try and download a third party browser, like Puffin, it will help until the next update, when Apple addresses this issue.

I am having exact the same problems with my Iphone 6 and my Ipad.

Screen is freezing

Can´t access any links

Can´t click on Links when I am browsing

Mails are hanghing

It is really a disaster, as these are my working tools!

And just think about how many do not repor/write here for that bug... 😟

Estou com o mesmo problema no 6S !! Por favor, é preciso corrigir o mais rápido possível, não podem haver falhas assim!!

HAve the same problem please solve it soon, thank you

Same problem for me to

New iPhone 6s plus, iOS 9.3, Same hyperlink problem... Very very annoying...😠

Yes, I did the same this morning and put back a reserve copy of a couple of days ago and had no problems all day.

So that gives Apple time to get to the root of this problem and solve it neatly.

It isn't so unacceptable. In fact it made my phone work normal again after I put back a 3 days old reserve copy of the phone.

Perhaps a bit annoying but an easy solution.

SOme people can't really do that since we use OTA backup to icloud...

I stopped using a pc to do my backups years ago because I keep changing laptops practically every month or so (work related, gotta keep up with the latest and greatest tech) and I was just chewing through my activated devices faster than apple could release them.

This debacle only accentuates the truth, sonce SJ died, Apple is taking too many shortcuts and using its users to become testers like Microsoft was doing a couple years ago. I am really thinking about switching to windows phone or even android if this issue isn't solve THIS WEEK!!

I have lost en contracts and money as it is now. Either apple cover my loss from today until they find a solution or they offer us a big rabate/compasation for all the problems that this has caused us!
