iOS 10 Black Screen Spinning Wheel

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.

I think it's pretty difficult that we're talking about to issues in this thread, which might not even be related to each other. Might also be the reason why Apple already recommended a solution on an issue that hasn't been mentioned by the OP.

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.

Same problem here. Randomly, 2-3x a day, my iPhone 6 goes to a black screen with a spinning wheel while I'm unlocked and using an App. In my case the situation resolves itself after 10-30 seconds and the phone returns to the lock screen where I have to enter my code again. I do have Outlook installed and I've turned off notifications to see if that helps.

Bottom line is that the IOS architecture is built to prevent this type of issue from being created by Apps.

In my case I also zeroed in on the outlook app. What fixed the issue for me was to disable the outlook notifications completely.

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.

Same problem on my new Iphone 7+,

I Updated with itunes did not worked, Restore to factory settings and restone my 6S+ again.

Worked for 4 hours but there was some app's that could not download when I double clicked its started to Black spinning wheel of death. 😟

try disabling all notifications.

Same issue for me on iPhone 6splus and iPad mini.

While this may have been a fix for you, this doesn't explain how there are multiple people in this thread (including myself) who have brand new iPhone 7/7+ devices that have been seeing this issue. I'd understand if it were an older iPhone that had an upgrade from iOS 9 to 10 or if your new iPhone hardware was set up from a cloud or iTunes backup, but for a completely new iPhone that shipped with iOS 10 set up as a "new iPhone" to have this problem?

I wonder if you may still see the issue, but just less commonly now. This is what happened for me when I tried the steps you describe.

I Have the same issue.

I brought my phone into Apple and got a new iphone 7 and did a new phone install. It was fine for a few hours but then the spinning data wheel reappeared.

Well the problem for me on iPhone 6 seems pretty obvious now. iOS 9 was solid with outlook installed. And the deadly wheel spin started happening right after iOS 10 updates. It last for about several weeks now with around 5 black screen spins per day. Just for the sake of it I uninstalled outlook and there has been no spin wheels for more than a week now.

It really seems there is something wrong here in between iOS 10 and outlook. iOS 9 was solid but once one 10 it started happening. Really not sure who to blame here, while outlook can cause this issue but iOS itself should be able to manage the situation.

If I still have a change I would rollback to iOS 9 until this gets resolved.

I had the same issue but disabling the outlook notifications completely stopped the black screens. I love the outlook app and my life would be incomplete without it. Try that.

Same problem on weather app complete black screen with spinning wheel and apple logo ...iphone 7 brand new and ios 10.03

I've done all what you suggest but with same result, seems that should be again restored on factory settings and back up erasing weather app...
