Apple is one of the biggest players in the tech world today. It has produced products such as the iPhone, iPod touch and Mac series. However, recent reports reveal that the iOS 10 is having serious issues.
A lot of tech savvy individuals are Apple product users. This means a lot of iOS users, may it be an iPhone, iPad or even the laptop. But recent concern over the Apple iOS system reveals that there is a huge problem with the recent iOS system by Apple. Last time it was released that the iOS 10.1 was removing the users' Health Data. Complaints hit an all time on social channels and developers of iOS health app have warned users not to upgrade.
"Houston We Have A Problem"
The iOS 10.1.1 has no security patches and just a single line description: "This update fixes bugs including an issue where Health data could not be viewed by some users." Tthe good news though is once applied, the update does not allow your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to start tracking your Health activities again, it also restores previously missing data on your device. This is vital, considering that a number of users rely on Health for serious conditions.
I don't remember a software update coming out this early in forever, but iOS 10.1.1 was just released https://t.co/zLf3FfCly4 pic.twitter.com/fmPevmJoSA

Apple Deserves Both Praise And Reprimand In Equal Measure
Apple deserves a pat on the back because a fix has been released just five days after the original problem struck. However, it also deserves a thumbs down for leaving users in the dark during this period because Health is not like other apps.
For a lot of users, Health is not just important, it's essential to their everyday well-being. Not to mention that a life may be at stake here. So delving in this area, Apple has to step up to the plate here and the users should have at least had updates over a) recognition of the fault, b) confirmation a fix was being worked on, and c) that the missing data was not lost and would be restored.
