Summary:

Pressing "cancel" when prompted to log in to iTunes Store must be done repeatedly.

Steps to Reproduce:

Change your Apple ID password then use your iPhone for a while. Eventually you will be prompted to log in to iTunes Store.

Tap "Cancel".

The dialog disappears briefly then immediately reappears.

Sometimes tapping "Cancel" a second time causes the dialog to disappear for just a few minutes but it will inevitably reappear, just about always in pairs.

Expected Results:

iTunes Store login prompt will never reappear after I tap cancel just once.

Actual Results:

The login prompt doesn't believe that "No Means No" and perpetually bothers me when I'm trying to use my device.

Version/Build:

iOS version 10.0.1 (14A03)

Configuration:

Model Identifier MNA62LL/A

      Why is there EMAIL? People don't think about that, but why? We built a lot of our nuclear arsenal without EMAIL. We did a lot of Moon landings without EMAIL. I built Trump Tower without EMAIL. A lot of important things get done without EMAIL.

      Let me tell you, EMAIL is nothing but big problems. A good friend of mine got a nice EMAIL. He thought it was nice, it wasn't nice, believe me. Because it made his EMAIL box EXPLODE. He came back to his EMAIL box a week later. He reads it every week, right? And in just one week he has THOUSANDS of EMAILs. Because there was bad cyber in the sexy pictures.

      Look at Crooked Hillary, she's not dumb. She's very crooked & nasty but in some ways she's a smart cookie. She's one of our biggest criminals. Maybe, probably, the biggest. But she was very foolish to do EMAIL. She got caught because of EMAIL. And we all found out what a complete and total disgrace she is.

    You really meant yes, so we'll keep doing this until you click the correct button.

    Work gave us all iphone se's last year. I fucking hate it. I only use it for conference calls, email and browsing the news app when I'm on a smoke break.

    Piece of shit.

    Every app randomly exits for no reason.

    Constantly exits apps to ask me to do a software update. If I press yes, it says "Your no longer connected to the internet please try again" despite both 3g and wireless working. So it never gets updated as it can't update itself.

    The news app is fucking awful. Certain news stories just outright crash it when the load and you have to wait from them to drop from the top list before it will work. Randomly exits for no reason. Open it again and its a cache of yesterdays news or an article from days ago. Will then hang for 3-4 minutes before it even tries to reload the stories. You get to browse for about 10 seconds when it recovers BEFORE IT FUCKING EXITS AGAIN. Back to yesterdays cache and non responsive.

    I can't fucking stand the POS and it has certainly put me off ever buying a personal Iphone, not that I would have anyway.

    Fuck apple.

    Do you have an Apple developer account [apple.com] or not? [appspot.com]

    My guess is a bunch of background apps are using the same library to poll iTunes for updates, new emails, updated contacts, uploading your click counts and intimate thoughts marketing preferences and location, and new calendar events from the Apple servers. Instead of that library storing your preferences and forwarding that response to apps using that library for a set period of time it forwards the request to the user each time.

    I want to see video of MDC singing on the street. Put it on YouTube.

    I am fully aware that MDC will immediately go viral and be the most popular YouTube celebrity of all time. Because MDC always wins.

    Hasn't this ALWAYS been the case? I was gifted an old iPhone 4 a couple years ago and still haven't found a use for the damn thing because I can't do *anything* without first registering and signing in to an Apple account. So fuck that, it's sitting on a shelf gathering dust until I can figure out something else to do with it...
