So if I purchased a used phone it's my fault? Okay. If I was gifted a phone, my fault too? Alrighty then. What if...
The fault lies with Apple and the bug in their software. Apple acknowledged it and is making an effort to fix it. Not sure what logic you're using to shift the blame to the consumer when Apple already said "my bad".
A friend Line-d me and said that his iPad bricked after the update and was asking for assistance the day that the update came out. I thought it was just him not being too tech savvy and thought of course he did something wrong, but I guess it was not him...
Interesting enough, my iPhone 5S and my two iPad 3's updated ok on launch day...
People say "just wait" a few days or a week before updating, but this time I noticed that Apple immediately pushed an upgrade to iOS 9.3 message on some devices. My friend is in Japan, so not sure if Apple pushed an upgrade notice more so internationally instead of in the U.S. Another person in Japan on the day of release also asked me about the update.
I am glad MacRumors put this out with a document explaining how to resolve the issue.
I agree that people need to know both their usernames and passwords, but the truth is that not everyone does.
The logic is Apple is never wrong and if something goes haywire it is always the end users fault. We have had ample evidence of this outlook on here for many years.

I wondered why mine asked for the username, and password twice...
Interesting...
And I had a case with Apple about tis with my Mother-in-law where a third level (?) engineer told me that iCloud "Does not save earlier AppleIDs. Never has, never will."
Apparently what he told me wasn't quite 'accurate'?
Damn Apple...
Rename your AppleID, and suffer for eternity?

lol really? you don't know icloud password either?
p.s. remember to wear pants tomorrow.
Apparently it is using the 'ORIGINAL' AppleID...
Have you changed your AppleID? Do you remember it?
Jesus, it feels like not a single week passes without Apple getting its ass handed to them.
What we see is the outcome of a major layoff of Quality Assurance personel.
What we see is the chase of cute little features every year over actually trying to polish an established major version and adding features in APP updates.
Oh and by the way, Apple should watch this video I feel, because they seem to not get the basics of customer retention.
(hint: there's lots to learn from competitors.)

This is starting to become the norm. Issues with every single update, no matter how big or small.
By the way, not the first time Apple pulls an update. Talk about embarrassing and unacceptable
Happens pretty much with any software out there, especially as complex as an OS that runs on many different devices.
To be fair, this is quite a ways off from the release issue that happened with iOS 8.0.1.
It came out 2.5 years ago, but it's a 1GB device and therefore in the upgrade eligibility family of other 1GB devices like iPad 4 and iPhone 5. And those date back to 2012. So yeah, it's pretty old.
Or remember to read the article closely and notice it said original Apple ID. If someone sold you a used phone, do you know the ID they used for the phone or iPad?

Nonsense.
Yeah was having issues with and iPhone 5 yesterday. It asked to accept the iCloud terms and conditions, then asked to enter the iCloud password but would hang. Then if you tried to sign out of iCloud completely I couldn't because I needed to turn of Find my iPhone which required entering the password which caused it to hang. So DFU mode and restore it was.
What I'm not quite following is why does this only affect older devices, and why only some of them? And then why (and how) does an original Apple ID play into all of it as well?
This update didn't affect me. Even if it did, I know my username and password.
I'm speaking for the people that don't know their credentials and have no idea why they are affected. It must not be a pleasant experience, this coming from the company that brings us products that "just work."
Ahh "original" is not all that clear because it can be interpreted in different ways, if that's the case then I agree, my bad. If you simply don't know the account you icloud locked your phone with then that's kind of special...
My apologies.
Will it help users remember their own damn passwords? I got the activation prompt on the Ipad 2, entered password and bam, finished. I'm guessing this update had some major security upgrades somehow and that's why we got that.
BTW, I'm not the original user of this Ipad, but it was wiped clean before I got it.

This is Apple, these kind of things aren't supposed to happen.
Tee hee. I guess even the perfect make mistakes, huh?
Glad you found a spare 's' laying around. Wearing pant can't be blamed on Apple though, so that's a good thing.Why? They somehow don't function in reality, or some people just don't think of them within the realm of reality?
There are a few very likely scenarios where this could happen through no fault of the user.

The second reason you listed.
