Don't you think people that have spent hundreds of $/£ on a device only for it to be bricked when updated using an official update via official means, have a right to be a bit annoyed?
Call it whining if you want. I call it ' spleen venting'
Quite strangely, the "1" badge appeared to me on my iPad Pro 9.7 two day ago, with the notification saying that an update was available. I said to me "Oh, they solved the problem and pushed a new version!". Then, if I go check I see the usual "iOS 9.3.1 Your software is up to date". Who knows...
