Apple Releases iOS 10.0.3 for iPhone 7 With Cellular Connectivity Bug Fix

Monday October 17, 2016 10:02 am PDT by Juli Clover
Apple today released the second official update to the iOS 10 operating system, nearly one month after releasing iOS 10.0.2 and a month and a half after providing the new iOS 10 operating system to the public. iOS 10.0.3 comes ahead of iOS 10.1, a more significant update that brings a Portrait mode depth-of-field effect to the iPhone 7 Plus.

iOS 10.0.3 can be downloaded as an over-the-air update on all iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices.

10-0-3
Today's update includes a fix for a bug that could cause issues with cellular connectivity, a problem that only affected the new iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus. Shortly after the iPhone 7 was released, a number of Verizon users began experiencing a serious issue that caused them to regularly lose LTE connectivity on their new device. It was later discovered that the issue affected iPhone 7 and 7 Plus devices associated with other carriers as well, and it should now be fixed for all users.

iOS 10 is a major update that includes features like a redesigned Lock screen experience, a revamped Messages app with a full App Store, a Siri SDK for developers, new looks and features for Maps and Apple Music, and tons more. Make sure to check out our iOS 10 roundup for details.

Hoping to get the bug fixed where my phone just resets to spinning on black screen for 10 seconds back to Home every now and then (especially on low battery). Always seems to happen on pictures, or opening up an app.

I wonder if this is just for iPhone 7 line of phones given that there are references to other bug/security fixes.

Installed the update on my 7, and immediately noticed that I got 4G straight away after toggling on mobile data, so good first impression.

Update 1: Dropped back to 3G (2 to 3 bars) while in the same spot after working fine on 4G (1 to 2 bars) for a few mins. Good news is 4G came back without me doing anything so an improvement there at least!

Update 2: Went out today and noticed that the phone still does not connect to 4G automatically despite being in an area with a strong 4G presence. Disappointing.
