It never is, so why inconvenience yourself for basically, nothing.

To Apple. Small number is 10 Million of the 200 million Apple devices eligible for this update. Thats a fact.
Maybe Apple should wait a day and let beta testers make sure it works. Oh, wait, they did do that and it still happened...
Never be an early adopter on a mission critical or single point of failure device. I give all updates at least a week but usually a month before adopting.
Apple customers are the beta testers in the Tim Cook era. Saves money and increases revenue.
My understanding is it was the *distribution* of the release that was affected, not the release itself. So it was 100% usable, but getting it was the problem.

I hate to be that person, but Apple needs to say that X software comes out at 9am on a given date. So NZ, Aus, etc start downloading earlier than other contries so slowly across the day the obvious huge amounts of downloads are spread out over the day, which is less stress on the servers. Some of the faults with the download not working is probably down to the file not downloading 100% correctly, probably due to huge download traffic off the server.
Did Apple press "Update" on your phone without your permission? Wow, bad apple!
Looks like the new iPhone 7 / 7s owners will be doing an update right . out . of . the . box ... yep 10.0.1
haha.. yes... no software "just works", but Apple's tagline is that... so we all believe it must be true.... Truth is, that's far from it. If i could say the same about all software, then there would be nothing to fix.
In fact iPhoto had the same problem on Mac.. the old one... Apple rushed an update out in 24 hours because u couldn't even open the application. Was one of the early versions..

Actually I kind of like having a bricked iPhone. No calls or texts for a while--good to unplug. God knows I won't elect to do it, but if it's forced on me, can be nice
My post did not qualify as histrionics.
For those who are still having trouble resolving this issue:
If you are unable to update or restore thru iTunes it's because the software servers are overloaded. You probably guessed that already. I just talked to Apple support and they confirmed that we'll have to wait until things slow down a bit before the iTunes update will work. So the good news is yes, it's fixed. The bad news is we can't actually access the fix for a little while.
"Who said you should update, no one told you to do that"
The cult are absolutely in fine form this afternoon
A lot of people are missing the mark in here.
There seems to be a lot of people completely blaming the user, as if having a bricked phone is somehow their fault just because they chose to take advantage of an update that Apple offered. On the other hand, other people are blowing their gaskets over a temporary issue that is already fixed.
Yes, this is a problem. No, it's not a big deal.

Rule #1...always update thru iTunes
Rule #2...ALWAYS UPDATE THRU ITUNES
ITUNES UPDATE is 2.26 gigs...its 1.1 gigs OTA.
makes sense that the OTA one can have problems. Its probably deleting and replacing files....which can be tricky
