Apple responded quickly to say that the problem had been identified and resolved within hours of the launch.

It advised anyone experiencing problems to connect their device to iTunes to complete the installation of the new software. However, some users have still been reporting problems, including iTunes not recognising their devices.

“The problem was quickly resolved and we apologise to those customers.
“Anyone who was affected should connect to iTunes to complete the update or contact AppleCare for help.”
