so last night i did the force restart on my iPhone.
today the majority of the apps appear to have updated
according to the 'Updates' screen in the app store app on the phone.
all of the icons for the 'Updates' screen in the app store app are grey'd.
same with my iPad mini
the remaining app is still unable to be downloaded.
