Ha, and in that same breath:
*samsung messes up*
"Samsung sucks! This is why I'll never own an android! When Apple pushes out products or software, it always works. Samsung's stuff is always half baked and just bad"
*apple messes up*
"You can't blame Apple for this" "Mistakes happen" "This issue only happened to a select amount of people and it's being blown out of control" "It's your fault for upgrading so early instead of waiting"
We know very little about the internals at Apple and how these things happen, are perceived, or are dealt with. People love to act based on incomplete information, but that's not how you actually run a company.
If you truly think that the proper expectations about quality haven't been set internally at Apple, go ask Scott Forstall. I'm sure he'd be happy to talk Maps with you.
Eddy: We bricked devices two years in a row!
Tim: That's the kind of consistency I like to see! This calls for a party!

No worries - just very frustrating... Been stuck with this for the last hour and a half with no light at the end of the tunnel yet... Sort of waited for final release and skipped the beta, NOT to get stuck with this
There is amazing amount of fragmentation now in Apple products. Imagine you buy an iPhone 7 and get a dock. Where are you supposed to plugin your new earpods with lightning connector while the phone is charging? Can I say Steve Jobs would have not allowed this or someone will troll me for it.
Mine worked after 4 try , make sure you got the latest iTunes and do a restore, every time it fails close iTunes and restart phone
So maybe it's a good idea not to update the split second it hits the servers.
Hey it could be explosively worst.... God forbid something unexpected caused the issue like a malfunctioning hard drive in a server somewhere
Ok my iPad Pro 12.9 is working again after iTunes restore.
Not that big a deal for me, since it's not my phone. I woulda been pissed if my phone was down for 1-2 hours.

Wow good job Apple. My 6s Plus bricked while I was on campus but fortunately I had an old 5c in my bag to use until later tonight. This sucks.
Just got back from the store and my iPad Pro 12.9 says to connect to iTunes. Now I'm getting time out errors in iTunes. Says 9.3.5 though?
So Apple has the courage to dump a audio jack, but not the courage to ensure their customers; who by-the-way are purchasing an experience, are able to enjoy new software; software that was designed and built in partnership with hardware...
On the flip side, He who wants to be first, cries first...

Your logical, outside the blame box post has been reported to the matrix authorities. You will be contacted very soon for the reeducation process.
Insert to top list:
Let others be guinea pigs since you don't lose anything delaying the update by a few days for Apple to work out the glitches.
I wonder when in-service system updates trickle down to consumer products that don't require a reboot disrupting service. Juniper was one of the early pioneers of ISSU and they use FreeBSD as a base OS so similar to Apple.
Not only a waste of time but stupid, showing a lack of common sense understanding.
Stuff happens that is difficult to test during beta. Like having 50+ million people (I'm making that number up, could be more, or less) trying to simultaneously download the update over the air.
Entitled much? It's called you and a bazillion of your impatient friends don't try to do a large update the first hour it's out. Common sense.
