iOS 10 Black Screen Spinning Wheel

I also have Outlook installed on my phone and iPad. This condition happens on both devices. I'm going to remove it from my phone to see if this helps

Same problem for me with 10.1. Turned outlook notifications off and will see if that works. However, will eventually need notifications back on.

I've been with the same problem in my iphone 6 plus since this morning and i uninstalled headspace. it worked out!

Exactly...100% here too.....my wife has a 6 plus as well as myself .

After going to IOS 10 ....freezes on lock screen fadeout with spinning data wheel.

facebook locked on spinning wheel of death for 3 hours because she didnt know

about home and start button reboot.

Other assorted lockups - spinning wheels - Lock screen - issues for my 6 plus

and my wifes' since IOS 10.

As far as tech support ...same thing.... The Emperors new clothes are just fantastic.

We dont quite understand your issues sir.

Hey guys,

First time posting here because of this issue. Saw this behaviour now a couple of times on 10.0.1 and decided to go for a factory reset whilst upgrading to 10.0.2 today. After a few minutes encountered the black screen with white spinning wheel again. So even a factory reset won't do for you, I'm afraid...

Cheers

I'd like to 4th this. Wife's iPhone 6 regular is having this behavior and it's driving her crazy which means it's driving me crazy. Trying 10.0.2. Will let you know if this fixes it. Clearly an Apple problem not a "ya just gotta reset it" problem.

Don't you love the irony that Apple made ads that criticized Microsoft for having to reformat to fix slowness and issues, and yet Apple tech support's first and only answer is to reformat to fix slowness and issues?

Seems like it's getting worse: cought the black screen around 8 times today. Can't figure out the case when/why this repeats.

Noticed that all info-widget got restarted (shown with no content) after unlocking the screen after the black sreen. Similar like after restarting the device.

I updated an iPhone 5c to iOS 10 a week ago.

Today, I updated a couple of Apps. The download started and shortly afterwards my Home screen froze.

I was unable to do a hard reset by pressing the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously because the Sleep/Wake button had failed after the iOS 9 update (I was hoping the iOS 10 update would fix it).

I have discovered that Apple have an iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Button Failure Project (https://www.apple.com/uk/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/) but that the Serial Number of my iPhone 5c does not qualify for the free button repair (over 3 years old?).

Now, I am left with a black screen and spinning wheel and no apparent means of getting out of this situation as nothing works.

I tried connecting to iTunes but was unable to change the situation.

At the moment, I am leaving it alone for the battery to run down to see if that will clear the problem and if it will recover when I put it on charge.

It would appear therefore, that my iPhone 5c has suffered 2 failures as a result of iOS updates.

This is not good enough and I am most unhappy with the situation.

I think it's a general memory leak problem with the OS. I don't use outlook and both times it happened to me I was attempting to use/open system apps. I hasn't happened for almost a week now but the phone has frozen a few times for about 30 seconds

Yes I have exact same issue. Happens both on iPhone 6 amd iPhone 7. Black screen for a few seconds with a spinning wheel. Then reverts to lock screen and loses whatever I was working on (like a memory dump). all my coworkers have same issue. I feel like it is the outlook app but not certain.

In your case, the iPhone 6 requires that you hold the Power + Home button for up to 30 seconds until the device restarts itself. The iPhone 7 and 7+ are the only phones that have the changed button combination as far as I am aware.

my problem with my 7 plus persists, even with very few apps, facebook, instagram, YouTube. I've restored the software using iTunes and I've erased everything to start as a new phone. nothing works. Still closes the app and gives me the loading circle at random with any app. Very frustrating. im going to make an appointment with the apple store this weekend And hope for a new device. Even though its clearly a software issue That's happening on multiple different models. I asked an apple support representative if they are aware of any issues related to this and they say no.

My situation:

Last night after updating to 10.03, my phone became unresponsive. It was working but suddenly it stopped functioning. I tried to power down to restart and got the spinning wheel. I could not power it down. Thinking it needed to be plugged in to finish some part of the update, I left it plugged overnight. In the morning it was still spinning. I tried pressing power and home buttons simultaneously. I tried volume - and power. I plugged it into itunes to reset. It would not read. I went to icloud and find my phone.It couldn't be found.

The Fix:

I let it spin, unplugged all day until it died.

I plugged it in and let it charge a little bit, entered my passcode and it worked.
