Not connected to the internet would show it's a broadband issue. Have you tried restarting your router?

Did, still did not work.
Think it might be because of the work being done on the Seacom cable.
But installed now
 
Hey Siri, make some room for Google Assistant on my iPhone

The rumors were true: the search giant Google today released a standalone Assistant app for iPhone to take on Siri. Available at no charge on App Store, it features a blend of the chat style functionality found in in the Google Allo version of Assistant and the voice-controlled version found on Android.

It even lets you call friends on Google Home or out on the town with your iPhone.

“Whether you need a reminder to pick up milk, help finding your travel photos or need to make a dinner reservation, your Assistant is ready to help,” says the company.

To get started with Assistant, press the microphone icon or start typing.

Apple users can use Assistant’s chatbot-like capabilities as well as all of its interactive features without having to purchase Google’s Pixel smartphone or another Android smartphone.

Here are a few things Assistant can help you with:

Make quick phone calls (“Call Mom”)
Send text messages (“Text my bestie”)
Send emails (“Email my boss the latest TPS report”)
Set reminders (“Remind me to buy a birthday gift for Sarah”)
Set calendar events (“Set a calendar event for dinner with Charlie tomorrow from 7-9”)
Play music (“Play Jazz music on YouTube”)
Navigate to places (“Get me directions home”)
Ask it anything (“Will I need an umbrella today?”)

Google has promised to enhance Assistant with new features, including:

New chatbot abilities
Integration with Google Lens technology
Google Lens will give Assistant for iPhone and Android some pretty cool camera capabilities with a little help from advanced artificial intelligence features. You’ll be able to, for example, easily identify an object by pointing your phone’s camera at it.

The company even demonstrated how Lens technology will permit Assistant users to snap up a photograph of a business’s sign to quickly pull up useful information such as reviews, menu items, friend check-ins and other relevant data.

And in yet another example, Google demoed how Assistant could help Android users connect to a Wi-Fi network simply by taking a picture of a sticker on a router.

Grab Google Assistant for iOS for free via App Store.

The app requires an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 9.1 or later.

Does that still require Voucher purchases to buy apps on the US store?

Oh, no, thank you Google. Besides I always do change default password and WiFi key on the router, it wouldn't work. :)
 
Q. from another thread:
OS 10.3.1 was downloaded on my device without my permission, occupying 700MB+. Is it going to download another 700MB+?
Yes. The previous, a wasted nonsence download is already deleted, it looks like Apple is preparing to download 10.3.2. This update is 200MB smaller, perhaps debug information has been removed, a sign a product has been promoted from public beta to the final version.

My word, iOS 10.3.2 is tearing up my iPad Air 2's battery life, it is draining at an alarming rate, you'd swear I was playing an HD Game. :(
 
Ahead of iOS 11, 32-bit applications stop appearing in App Store search results

Ahead of WWDC kicking off tomorrow and the unveil of iOS 11, 32-bit applications have stopped appearing in App Store search results. This is the latest piece of evidence that suggests iOS 11 will drop support altogether for 32-bit applications when it’s unveiled next week to developers and to the general public later this fall.

It was reported earlier this year that iOS 11 would drop support for 32-bit apps and iOS 10.3 includes a new alert for users when they open a 32-bit application. The pop up notification reads that the app must be updated by the developer or else it may not work with future versions of iOS.

Now that 32-bit applications seemingly no longer appear in App Store search results, they are essentially nonexistent for most users as they are only accessible via direct links. The move will ideally push developers to update any 32-bit applications if they wish for their app to be readily available and to continue attracting new users (via TouchArcade).

64-bit applications were first supported with the launch of the iPhone 5s in September of 2013 and since then, Apple has been gradually moving everything towards that standard. Starting in in February of 2015, Apple required developers to submit new applications with 64-bit support, while updates were required with 64-bit support in June 2015.

With iOS 9, Apple began alerting users that if an app was 32-bit, it may slow down device performance.

From iOS 10.2.1:

“Waterslide” May Slow Down Your iPad

The developer of this app needs to update it to improve its compatibility.

And iOS 10.3 beta 1:

“Waterslide” Needs to Be Updated

This app will not work with future versions of iOS. The developer of this app needs to update it to improve its compatibility.

It has also been reported that future processors from Apple won’t even include 32-bit support, which could free up perofrmance/die space for users and developers alike.

Apple has drawn out the process of phasing out 32-bit applications likely in an effort to ensure that the end user isn’t affected by the move, with developers working to upgrade all apps to 64-bit instead. Apple has been working all around to remove “problematic and abandoned” applications from the App Store. The company detailed these goals in September of last year and the following month, Apple was said to have removed nearly 50,000 apps already.

We’ll likely hear more about the future of 32-bit applications this week at WWDC 2017.

Damn and hatred 32-bit application that you have to remove it from store. It will slow down iPhone 4...
 
I'm guessing Apple really wants me to upgrade seeing as this pops up every time I open the phone...

Is it stable enough for day to day use?
