Software update out of the box?

What is normal now a day? My 7+ also has update to 10.0.1. I don't see anything wrong with that? I have noticed many manufactures are doing that these days. I am not too worry about it.
I think, it might be a fix that people got the phone brick when the 10 was first released on day 1.

Your phone was likely built before last week, though.
I have to warn you: It's going to get more updates over the years 
There is a new iOS build for T-Mobile models due to reception issues. Do you have T-Mobile?
Nope. Verizon. And I think the t-mobile problem was fixed with a carrier settings update. Couldn't be a software problem since it was only one carrier.
my understanding is that it's just a carrier update from 25.1 to 25.2.
Mine also came with 10.0 - had to update to 10.0.1. Luckily it accepted my 10.0.1 backup from my old phone, because I did that first. Then I did the software update.
Who cares if an update is available "right out of the box"? Why all the hand-wringing? Just hit the button to install the update, and then get busy living.
Too many first world problems.
What hand wringing? I asked a question. Don't want to contribute? Cool. Just hit the back button and get busy living.
My point is why does it matter? Just push the button and move on. Why create a thread, along with the accompanying drama over something so banal?
This actually interfered with my iCloud Restore.
It prompted me for iCloud Restore, I entered the info, then it said there was an update, so I installed the update... After it was done and the phone restarted, it took me through the rest of the setup process (Apple Pay, Home Button, etc). Then when it was done, I was sitting on the home screen of a brand new iOS 10. Wtf?
So I had to completely reset the phone and start all over. Now the restore is going as we speak.
Exact same thing happened to me. Could be very confusing for people that aren't as aware of how to fix this issue. You have to go into settings and completely erase and reset your brand new phone to get it to restore from iCloud backup. Then of course you have to go through the entire setup for a second time - logins, settings, Touch ID, iCloud login, etc.
I'm due to receive my new iPhone 7 later today. To clarify, if I'm running iOS 10.0.1 currently I won't be able to restore my new iPhone 7 from iCloud because it's loaded with 10.0.0 ?
When I receive the phone, I should skip restoring from iCloud initially, set up the phone as a new phone, update to 10.0.1, then erase the phone, and then set it up by restoring from iCloud?

You're the only one here that seems worried about anything. Almost like you brought the drama with you. You need a better hobby.
Pretty much. That would work but if you ask it to restore from iCloud first it will just very shortly afterwards prompt you to upgrade to 10.0.1. Almost immediately. So it really doesn't matter if you try iCloud first. In fact you may just want to do it this way because I think then the phone sees that your backup is 10.0.1 and knows it needs to upgrade.
