I keep seeing references to issues with older iPad models after upgrading to 9.3. But I brought a brand new iPad Air 2 yesteday, upgraded to 9.3, and it's as good as useless. Links in mail and safari do not work, causing the iPad to freeze. No amount of restarting, rebooting, fiddling with settings seems to work. Come on Apple, not good enough, where's the fix?

Troubleshooting iOS 9.3 Update Problems
From a post by: ChitlinsCC
Thank you for copying those links. I've tried every one of these in vain over the last 24 hours, as well as other stuff I've thought myself. Nothing worked though. , interestingly my iPhone 6 upgraded to 9.3 with no issues. How strange!!
I've the same problem not able to open the links at web pages. I can retype the link in the address field to open this, though, but impracticable with long link addresses. This appear booth on my iPhone 6 and my iPad Air 2, running iOS9.3. However, deactivating JavaScript under setting->safari->advance, I can at least follow the link on the web pages. However, links received by email still free the the email application when trying to open😟
Thanks for this hin. Works partially for Safari.
NO help at all for email link
