I hope that is true because I haven't updated my iPad Pro yet, dont want my iPad to get bricked. I always download the update on my PC and go into DFU mode into iTunes to do a clean install but will wait on confirmation about the update

Tbh I don't own an iPad but I have a 6S and I do turn it off at night. I don't need somebody texting or phoning me at 3am. Also if somebody has to contact me I also have a landline phone number they can use.
Mine was doing that also. I turned off background Background App Refresh, now batteries not draining.
I have observed that, most of time, when someone says 'pun intended', or 'pun not intended', there's not a pun in sight.
To save money on real testing.

Yes it does; if there is lack of good, consistent quality control during manufacture of all the various components.
So far I haven't crashed on 9.3.2 but it did crash on all the betas. I have heard others say theirs still crashed on 9.3.2 so I will update if it crashes again. So far it has crashed on every 9.3.2 and every beta of 9.3.2. I haven't used it as much since the update but will be on it a lot the next few days.
With any computer it's generally not a bad idea to at least do a full reboot every once in a while. It kills off any lingering extraneous processes and lets everything else start up fresh. Along a similar line of reasoning, I've made it a habit when preparing to do iOS updates to close out all the programs running in the background and do a reboot before doing a full update via iTunes. Somebody will probably pipe up and say this is unnecessary, but it seems like it might help and certainly isn't going to hurt.
Completely agree and I do restart my device once in a while maybe once a fortnight but I don't understand why anyone would power an iPad or iPhone off over night!
I think this is a great idea, and seems to be a necessity with my Apple devices lately, but the poster was responding to this post:
Restarting a computer, and shutting it down when it is not actively used is totally different.
Some might argue that frequent shutdowns can wear out the computer's components quicker.
I am not going to say who is right and wrong, but I personally never had any issues with my electronic devices staying on all the time. I occasionally do restarts, but most of my electronics I leave on.
I restart my main used Mac about once a week, but there has been times that it was on for many months without a shutdown or restart.
My 9.7 Pro is being replaced. They didn't have my configuration in stock so I'm waiting on a special order. The guy who helped me had just finished doing a warranty replacement for another 9.7 with the same error 56 problem.

Over the past six weeks, a number of 9.7-inch iPad Pro early adopters have reported sporadic crashing issues that result in the tablet soft rebooting to the Apple logo start up screen and prompting Touch ID or passcode verification.
The bug has afflicted a wide range of 9.7-inch iPad Pro models since the tablet launched on March 31, regardless of storage capacity, color, and Wi-Fi or cellular capabilities. Both iOS 9.3.1 and iOS 9.3.2 appear to be affected.
Based on crowdsourced information from the Apple Support Communities and MacRumors discussion forums, it appears that Safari, while not necessarily the root cause of the problem, may be triggering the crashing and reboot cycles.

The actual underlying problem remains unknown, but it is likely rooted in software and should be addressed by Apple in a future update if warranted, in the same vein as iOS 9.3.2 fixed iPhone SE Bluetooth issues and multiple other bugs. Most affected users report seeing "bug type 298" under Settings > Privacy > Diagnostics & Usage > Diagnostic & Usage Data.
Apple has not officially commented on the matter, but some customers that have contacted support claim the company is aware of the issue and working on a fix. In the interim, some customers have had their iPad Pro swapped out for a new model at an Apple retail store; however, for some, the problems persist. We will update this article if and as new information becomes available.

Proof: Planned obsolesce.
Edit: lol, because so many people just fail to understand and care too much:

I am having no problems whatsoever with my 9.7 iPad pro
[doublepost=1463728765][/doublepost]I am having no problems whatsoever with my 9.7 inch iPad pro. its as fast as greese lightning.
[doublepost=1463729125][/doublepost]The vast majorty of people complaining about this so called supper glitch with the iPad pro 9.7 are just pissed off because they couldnt afford or they don’t have one.
[doublepost=1463729883][/doublepost]
I agree. All the nay sayers probably work for Microsoft.
Me too. I was told it could take until Tuesday because of low stock.
My husband and I both got the 9.7 on release day after pre-ordering. Mine is rose gold and his is grey. Both have the restart glitch.
Replaced my iPad from Apple under warranty and it's crashed only once in a little over a week. It was 2-3x per day before...
By the time I got my Rose Gold 128GB 9.7" iPad Pro replaced four times at the Genius Bar, I opted to go with the iOS 10 Public Beta. I figured it's been cooking long enough to try, and after lengthy iCloud backup and restores that take almost 48 hours to do, what had I got to lose at that point? I got on Beta 5 (same as Developer Preview 6), it hasn't crashed since. Note that even when I did get my last replacement, it was still crashing consistently on iOS 9.3.x.
Throughout the whole ordeal, I'm glad at least I wasn't getting refurb units, as the Rose Gold 128GB seemed to be a rarer one of the variants that it had to be ordered in every time I came in to get a replacement.
But, the fact that Apple never acknowledged the issue directly (or at least to the Genius Bar reps who could've used the information to not looking clueless at each visit) remains a concern.
I tried posting my news to the Apple forums, but like clockwork, the moment I mentioned the iOS 10 beta, they got deleted by the moderator.
