Apple Says Over-the-Air iOS 10 Update Issue is Fixed

it's a 20/20 day for the Cult of Apple. Funny how they all know to hold off ... I guess this one along with like the previous 20 Apple update releases have been so buggy that they've been bricked before and are now conditioned to such behaviour from the temple. Good to see Apple continues to uphold the wacky release tradition.
It IS simple, but it isn't EASY... nor CHEAP.
Just take a look at the frequency of point-updates to 8.x and 9.x sometimes, just days or weeks apart. That is indicative of a systemic problem with their software development and release process.
Actually, until someone's head rolls, yes.
There is no way there were tens of millions of people waiting for the minute the release came out. Not everybody hangs off every release like us here participating on the forums.
I pushed the beta profile to my mothers iPhone 5S and she installed the GM days before the release. I had the betas from beta 1 on 6S Plus. No problems at all.
Could it be the millions of simultaneous downloads at once caused corruption? But you'd think it would of course check the integrity of the update before applying.

It worked after 3hrs plus stuck on the apple logo screen! Going to backup and reinstall.

[doublepost=1473814707][/doublepost]First available Genius Bar appt: Monday .... Sweet. Think they'd let me just use one of their computers to restore my phone, without an appointment?
So I just tried updating my iPad through iTunes and it timed out. I imagine maybe th servers are still busy, I'm just going to wait another day or so.
Are people on here really trying to blame the customer for this iOS software debacle? Like cmon man.
Tim Cook advertised iOS 10 to be ready and able for today. He didn't say "well it launches on the 13th but don't download it until the 16th" If iOS 10 wasn't ready for today, then it never should've launched in the first place. Just admit it ppl, Apple messed up. It's not the end of the world but it did happen.
How anybody can blame this on the consumer, is just insanity to me. That's like saying "Well Samsung's phone is exploding but it's the customer's fault for rushing out and buying it so early"
Apple screwed up. Nothing more or less. It happens. But to sit up there and actually have the audacity to blame the customer for downloading software that was advertised to be ready for launch for Sept 13th is ri damn diculous

It's obviously Apple's PR team riding herd on the forum threads - there's nothing else to explain it.
It's just ridiculous how some on here refuse to just admit that Apple F'd up. They have no problem bashing Microsoft or Samsung when they screw up...but when it's Apple, let's just place blame on the customer and/or come with every reason in the world why Apple isn't to blame
That's the thing. This isn't a bug in the build. Same number as what testers got. It was, quite likely, activation server issues.
Such lame damage control. Small number of users my a$$. Customers should be treated individually not bunched into groups and then proclaimed to be an insignificant number of the total.
Besides, given all this hype created around the new iOS version, are you really going to blame me for wanting to upgrade as soon as I can? That’s just idiotic and a non–argument.

What would have been alright for you? Would you want Craig Federighi to show up on camera lashing his own back, crying? Big apology? Pointless promise that this won't happen again?
