Its always been this way. There were always firmware rollout issues. The "widespread-ness" of it is always overblown. There are now a billion active IOS devices out there. There are bound to be bugs and whatnot. Even if its a couple thousand, that's still a pretty insignificant percentage.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 9.3.2 Bricking Some 9.7-inch iPad Pro Devices With 'Error 56' Message [Updated]

I updated 5 different devices earlier, all without an issue. Its not all doom and gloom.
Wow how the mighty have fallen.......What happened to you Apple?
Quelle surprise.
What a ridiculous notion. You posted that as if you think that Apple QA shouldn't test the general release at least half as intensively as they've tested the PB.
'Sorry sir, our software is dead. We didn't quite get around to testing what we intended to actually release, just the version before that.'

I'd say it's a bit of both.
There were 1 million or more iOS devices active when Apple released iOS 6, and I don't remember hearing about these kind of issues back in 2012.
Not that Apple doesn't bear some of the blame, but why the mad rush to update? 
As a general rule: Always give it a day or two and let the guinea pigs try an update out first before you update your own device.

Sad to see that updating on release day is now like playing iOS roulette.. 6/6 Plus bricking with iOS 8.0.1, now this
Was wondering the same thing, but I think the quality has really gotten worse - this issue affects the smaller iPad Pro. This device is less than 2 months old, so there cannot be that many smaller iPad Pro devices (not iPad Pros, according to P.S.) around, so it has to be the quality ;-)
Wont be updating til there is official word..the last thing I Need is a bricked iPad Pro..I always go into DFU mode and do a clean install
Please only post if you have this problem with your ipad pro. Apple bashing on this thread is a waste of time.
Actually to be fair Microsoft's Office updates have been quite good lately!
I'm referring to the old Microsoft from about a decade ago. Back when Apple use to poke fun at them in commercials.
As I noted in my edit, my 9.7" iPad Pro is doing fine, so this seems to be a sporadic issue rather than one which impacts every 9.7" iPad Pro.
You're bricking it wrong.
This made me laugh a lot more than it should have!
Unlucky if you have a bricked £600 device though
One side of me is sad and angry about Apple's direction lately, the other side just wants to watch the world burn.
Yeah, and in the 60s you hardly ever heard about spousal abuse. Domestic violence is just out of control now.
Or maybe reporting has jumped and the rate of assaults was always what it is today.
The number of people who have Apple devices today versus 2013 is huge (you must say that with Donald Trump's voice), and the access that people have to the internet and public forums is also dramatically higher.
