Because APPLE released it to the general population, that's why. Obviously, someone at Apple dropped the ball here, kind of like the IUP-GATE issue....

I hope he hires you as SVP of Software Fulfillment. Then when your team experiences a technical issue that was unplanned for occurs, you can come to MacRumors forums to see scores of people calling you incompetent and calling for you to be fired.
So, Apple did not learn from last year's 6s launch day OTA update hiccup that bricked the 6s on launch day?
And you assume it was no one's fault. What's more likely, somebody effed up or the invisible hand of God decided to ruin a bunch of people's days?
Really? Certainly you would consider this common sense, right? I mean, there's no way you actually hang out on a computer enthusiast site and don't back up when installing a new OS, right? That would be, at BEST, idiotic.
He'll probably laugh at this. I did too. I can't be arsed to explain myself to people like you.
Let us all know when you design a delivery network that can handle THAT kind of volume.
I downloaded the update right around 1:05 pm EST - but only clicked "install" about 20 minutes ago - about 3:20 pm EST. Update ran for about 5-7 minutes, then the phone turned off and nothing. I hit the power button and received a friendly "plug into iTunes" screen.
Downloading new version of iTunes now.
I suspect there is something wrong with the OTA build file that "early updaters" downloaded, and they quickly replaced it.

Because it's not fixed for everyone. iTunes is trying to update my iPad Pro and failing. And I'm getting the "unable to connect to iCloud music library" message. In the meantime my iPad Pro, which I use for lots of things every day including work, is effectively bricked. Should I have waited to update? Obviously yes, but I've been looking forward to iOS 10 so jumped in as soon as it was available. So yeah, I take some responsibility because I know things do go wrong sometimes but expecting the download to work was reasonable too.
Trying to update thru iTunes once more then I guess a phone call to Apple Care is next. So much for getting others things done this afternoon.
This guy obviously thinks it's easy providing service to 1 billion people. Shall we let him try? Nah. I'm good.
Delete the update (Settings -> General -> Storage & Usage -> Manage Storage), then re-download if you're concerned it might have a problem.
This didn't affect me but I started my upgrade and forgot to back up and then say this was happening. Ugh most terrifying upgrade. I've got 50 gigs of videos and pictures of my kids on my phone.
I agree wholeheartedly that we should not blame users. I'm equally as frustrated with that mentality.
People get a notification and click to install. It isn't their fault.
I'm not saying this is okay, but if it's absolutely crucial that you need your phone, never do a day one operating system update on your phone without any means to address the issue. This is not something new, this always happens during new OS time. The "OMG I ABSOLUTELY NEEDED MY PHONE RIGHT NOW, SCREW YOU APPLE!" people never cease to amaze me.
I am not in that kind of business, but the company I work for handles a lot of network traffic for New York State, both COUNTY and SCHOOL wise. Also, Apple has been doing this what now, for 9 years, they should have their act together. Stop blaming the users for an obvious APPLE issue.
If there's a one in a million chance that defect presents itself to a user - there are 900 very upset apple customers. Enough to fill this thread with hundreds of pages.
And still, nobody's device was "bricked". Not unless you intend to cement and mortar your phone into a wall because it will never be a phone again.

Trying to update via iTunes after OTA update failed. Currently on 5th attempt because previous 4 attempts at downloading 2.5Gb update failed (apparently iTunes is unable to resume update downloads, go figure). I'm on Internet connection with data cap and this already used at least 9Gb. My only phone has been inoperable for nearly 3 hours now.
Splendid.
P. S. I guess I should count myself lucky that my iPad has been updated successfully. Thanx Apple!

If the update wasn't ready, Apple should have waited one hour before releasing it to the masses.
When's the last time that you built a smartphone for millions of people around the world.... this stuff is hard, and I think that Samsung has done an amazing job. Perfect, problem-free? No. But they recalled the Note 7 fast. That matters, and that's what people should see.
Same premise, same logic. Didn't stop people here attacking Samusng non-stop.
Also, so since I haven't directed a movie I can't criticize a film? Since I haven't built a car I can't complain when it stops working? Since I am not the owner of a restaurant I can't complain when food is bad?
Your logic is flawed.
You can probably go into settings -> usage and find the downloaded ios update and delete it from your phone and re-download it
