So it's only been almost 2 months since I got my brand new iPhone, and am already starting to have problems with it.

I downloaded a whole bunch of apps today, and half of them downloaded while the other half didn't.

Don't know what's going on here, but I am getting nothing but mixed feelings about this and now have to contact Apple Support every single time this is happening.

It should not be happening at all right now. Updates aren't even installing either.

Why won't the apps and updates just finish downloading? Just why?

Ok, you might want to check out these sites, not sure if they will be helpful but...

When you download an app and this happens, it's frustrating. But when you are updating an app that was working just fine and all of a sudden, you can no longer use the app, it's even more frustrating. Don't worry, though. It's easy to fix.
At least according to this site

I don't have iOS 7 anymore. I have iOS 10.

Looks like the apps and updates ended up giving up on downloading/updating on me yesterday.

I don't want one of those crazy iPhones, they are more trouble than they're worth. Landline phone service is more reliable, I'm staying with that as long as it's still available. I use a desktop computer for accessing the internet.

Sounds it.

Now my iPhone just froze in the middle of looking up an app.

MA · 07-05-2017, 06:50 PM

Now my phone refuses to update and download apps.

MA · 07-05-2017, 08:28 PM

Now icons are vanishing off my home screen.

Welp. The inevitable ended up happening and I erased my iPhone after only two months of use.

Knew all this time that the device wouldn't even last long anyway because of me causing the never ending problems for myself.

Now I feel that erasing my iPhone was a big mistake, because I feel even more bored without it.

All I have is just the computer and the e-reader.
