   iOS 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 Fix Important Bugs

   Adam C. Engst

   Apple has released iOS 10.0.2 to address some early bugs. You can
   download the 88.2 MB update in Settings > General > Software Update or
   via iTunes.

   The big news with iOS 10.0.2 is a fix for a bug affecting iPhone 7
   owners who were seeing Lightening-connected headphone controls stop
   working after a few minutes.

   iOS 10.0.2 also resolves a bug that could cause Photos to quit for some
   users when turning on iCloud Photo Library and another that kept some
   app extensions from working.

   iOS 10.0.2 comes hard on the heels of 10.0.1, which only those buying
   the new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus needed to download explicitly, since 10.0.1
   was the first public release of iOS 10 for older devices. Most
   important in iOS 10.0.1 were fixes for issues that could affect
   Bluetooth connectivity and pairing with an Apple Watch; Adam Engst
   couldn't pair a new Apple Watch Series 2 to his iPhone 7 until he
   upgraded to iOS 10.0.1. That update also fixed a bug that prevented the
   iPhone from recognizing 'Hey, Siri' requests, addressed problems with
   audio quality for calls made over VoLTE, and improved the stability of
   the Camera and Contacts apps.

   In terms of [2]security, iOS 10.0.2 offers nothing beyond what was in
   iOS 10.0.1. The only [3]security fix listed for iOS 10.0.1 is related
   to the remote jailbreak vulnerability discovered by Citizen Lab and
   Lookout ' see '[4]iOS 9.3.5 Blocks Remote Jailbreak' (25 August 2016)
   for more on that.
