Apple today replaced the iOS 9.3 update with a new version after the original crippled some older devices last week, and confused large numbers of unaffected customers when their iPhones and iPads told them that they weren’t connected to the Internet when in truth they were.
The initial version of iOS 9.3, which Apple issued a week ago, threw owners of older hardware — iPhone 5S and earlier, and iPad Air and earlier — for a loop when it asked them for their Apple ID and password, normally not a step in the iOS update process.
