Apple released an incremental iOS v10.0.3 update to select devices to fix bugs on October 17. It is around 75MB in size and has been made available only to iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models, as they were the only devices facing the cellular connectivity issues.
Other older generation and iPads never faced any such problems after upgrading to the previous v10.0.2 update. The company has urged iPhone 7 and 7 Plus owners to install iOS v10.0.3 on their devices immediately.
