Apple has just rolled out the iOS 10.0.3 bug-fix update to address the cellular-connectivity issues on iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models, particularly those handsets that are running on Verizon's network. The new iOS 10 update is now available for download via the device's Settings > General > Software Update option or from the direct links provided below.
iOS 10.0.3 is an interim-maintenance update that's being released ahead of the iOS 10.1 public release, which is currently under extensive beta-testing. The iOS 10.1 final version is expected to release in a couple of weeks with a new Portrait mode feature that enables depth-of-field effect.
