IOS 10 - unable to take "Screenshots"

Upgraded to IOS 10 on both iPhone 6 and iPad mini 4. Unable to take "screenshot" on either device. Using old method, takes me back to homepage. Can't find answer from Apple yet? Any ideas?

To clarify... No one got 10.0.0 as a public release yesterday = everyone got 10.0.1 ?

The only reference to "10.0.1" in your linked article is IN the title


NBC Nightly News w/ Lester Holt reported last evening that the "bricking" of a "small percentage"(Apple's words) of iPhones had been fixed with an upDate - REPORT at about 17:45 CDT-US in the newscast as I recall

Uncle Tim said " 1,000,000,000 " (in BIG numbers on the BIG screen) iPhones now sold on the event = 1% (small percentage) is 10 Million! = not chicken feed!

Yes, sorry if that was not clear. The 10.0.1 GM beta was seeded around Sept. 7th or so (I don't remember exactly - news sites that report and track the beta releases will have it recorded). So the public release was 10.0.1, not 10.0.


From what I read, the issues with OTA updates had to do with the parsing of the update files - note that the OTA update is a device specific install bundle, while the iTunes update is always the full release installer. But reports are that the issue was not with the public release per se, but with some OTA implementations of the public release? I have not seen details though of what was going on, or what experts think was going on.


For myself, my iPad Air2 already had the beta GM. My iPhone 6 updated fine with the OTA update. My iPad Pro went into recovery mode with the OTA update, but updating (again) in iTunes was all it took to get it right back and running fine (nothing lost, nothing needed to be restored). Other than the 35-45 minute download in iTunes it was not a problem, just annoying.

While I have your attention...

Terms are important to me - maybe too much so for some folks.

Would not a move to iOS 10 be considered an upGRADE rather than an upDATE?

When I (and everyone I knew) versioned my/our software, the "middle" number was a major upDATE and the last number was a minor upDATE
