My iPhone 6S+ is now a brick...thanks! Probably spend the rest of the afternoon trying to get it back. What a POS!

I just downloaded it on my SE. Now saying connect it to itunes?

I did mine OTA and had no issues whatsoever. Have you tried putting it into recovery mode? Maybe a trip to the Apple Store is in your future.

Same here (iPhone SE, 64 GB). Something's wrong with the update, it would seem.

[SkydiverTilt]

same....and it's anticipating a 3 hour download to get the old software back on

Same here. It downloaded seamlessly and I was about to praise Apple for the non-issue of downloading right away. Usually the servers are hung up. I'm at work without access to iTunes and after updating OTA, my 6s is a brick. Cool.

It's happening for some users... if you have backups and iTunes available you'll be able to recover and restore and update... will just take some time.

Always back up!

Always have a plan B doing a OTA update......

[07GD SFD]

I backed up to iCloud right before I started the download but I still have to wait about 3 hours until I'm home to fix it.

Probably everyone trying to download it at the same time.

I just downloaded it on my 6s plus. Now saying connect it to itunes? itunes is now updating to 9.3.5 which I had on phone before.

My iPad Air is fine, but my iPhone 6s 64 is connected to iTunes on life support. Recovery is hopeful.

My iPhone 6s bricked but it installed flawlessly on my iPad pro which was odd. trying to install on my iPhone for the second time now....

[tmx31415]

Same issue here. The update bricked my 6s. I'll try the iTunes route. Any possible work around?

Grabbing the update from iTunes worked (after I had to do a restore due to failed OTA update)

[SkydiverTilt]

i'm just lucky i have an old Mac downstairs that has iTunes. But the download is uber slow to get back to 9.5.3

[cobra302]

Well, add me to the list, i'm at work and luckily brought my macbook with me, iPhone 6splus

[anon(9132077)]

UPDATE: After first brick error, I restored back to 9.3.5 and tried to download and install again....... SUCCESS! Hope you guys have the same luck after retry.

[Brummy16]

Gonna try it from itunes

[MooMooPrincess]

Dang, I feel bad for you guys that it bricked.

[SkydiverTilt]

good deal...my download is taking forever, not sure what the delay is.

[John Yester]

Again....


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

good deal...my download is taking forever, not sure what the delay is.

Hmm maybe the server are getting slammed????

Hmm maybe the server are getting slammed????

Between that and network bottlenecks between the user and Apple...

I was being sarcastic lol
