On iPad Mini 4 I try to upgrade to iOS 10, I wait 18 minutes while upgrade download, then iPad goes into recovery mode, plug into iTunes and I wait for another download, and I end up back in iOS 9. Infinite loop. Tried four times.
No problem with iPhone 6s plus.

Screw that iPhone... tried to update to ios10 and now my phone is useless, can't do anything. Apple sucks!!!!!
Mine bricked. Wow Apple, I thought you were trying to get us all to go wireless. Now I need them more then ever.
Remember the time when there were 80% fewer devices out there? Yeah, those times coincide. Perfect software never happens.
Bricked my 12.9" iPad Pro. Restoring via iTunes now.
I know software is not perfect, but I'm baffled how this happens so often - to Apple's latest devices no less.

The good news is that Apple finally realizes people still need a PC or Mac. The iPad can't be a loner device in the home.
If there was ever any proof Apple needs to get off the runway and back into the labs and test, test, test...this is it. I know I've been cranking about their QC since I joined here over 6 years ago, but damn... two iOS updates in the same year causing this kind of trouble?
Put on the brakes, Apple. Geez...
Hoping everyone whose iOS devices are effected gets a speedy fix and won't have to deal with turning them in like the 9.7 iPPs.

I don't normally update day of, but because of all the betas, I assumed that it would not screw up my phone. I was wrong.
I had my most important things backed up thankfully, but can't try to restore till i get home. but lost about 5 days worth of texts, and pictures. not end of the world stuff.
Oh Apple. I'm still bitter about buying my LCII

It happens because the super-rich execs continue to get richer regardless of how poorly the customers get treated. They just don't give a monkeys that our time is wasted or data lost. Having just pranced around last week on stage taking over two hours to announce bugger all they release buggy os updates. Oh, but heh, at least when it does eventually get fixed (after we spend hours sussing out a way to fix the problem) we can play a moronic mario video game. Boy, have they got their priorities right.Bricked on iPhone 3GS.
Seriously, zero pleasure seeing this. Questions raised, why does this continue to happen with every iOS release? Are devices ultra secure, has not enough testing occurred, or is iOS buggy?
