Issue with IOS 10 Install

And another. I'm getting so sick of Apple. Once everything used to just work and now everything is a mess. Nothing ever goes smooth.
I tried the install. It asked me to connect to iTunes, i did, it said there was an error and had to restore. It then said it can't even do that, and it never get's past the white screen.

Same problem on iPad Pro and iPhone 6+. Have to connect through iTunes and download the update. Let's see how it goes this time...
Well, you are recovering it seems, so it's alive. But certainly does sound disappointing.
Basically its not: A bricked phone means one thing: your phone won't turn on in any way, shape or form, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It is, for all intents and purposes, as useful as a brick. A phone stuck in a boot loop is not bricked, nor is a phone that boots straight into recovery mode.
Yeah, I have an iPad Pro 9.7 that's just done that and I'll have to go home from the office to fix it.
It's certainly alive, but it makes me wonder about those without iTunes to fall back to? I haven't researched online, but from the "plug into iTunes" screen, they're probably being left in the dark right now, since it seems to be reaching a decently large number of users.

So for many people, this can be seen as the equivalent of a "bricked" device since there's no clear way to exit recovery mode without a computer. And Apple has touted iOS as a "computer-free" device. Heck they're even pushing you to replace your computer with an iPad.
I didnt format it. However, if it is bricked, there is NOTHING you can do about it. Not plugging it in to restore. No DFU. Nothing. Therefore, the phone is not bricked.
same ***** issue... need to update itunes and connect my iphone (6s+) and restore it to default...
edit. seems to be that only the updated version of itunes finds ios10.. (wtf apple? it is an os for the phone, not for the computer!) i hope it works...

ok got phone back to full use after dfu mode and connected to iTunes. no date loss. going to try update with new version of iTunes.
Same here, just starting the process of installing iTunes now, hope it works because it's crippled my iPhone 6S Plus. With all the beta testing of this you would think they could have something like this worked out. Quickly losing faith in Apple's ability to handle simple things.
Let hope my watch update goes better, thats the only reason I updated my phone. Im getting a 7 but I didn't want to wait to update the watch.
