After releasing iOS 10 earlier today, some users are reporting ‘bricked’ devices after attempting to update to the new operating system. Most of the issues seem to come from over-the-air (OTA) updates, meaning a device that attempts to download and install the update without plugging it in — something Apple used to require.

The issues seem fairly widespread. The OTA update begins and leaves users staring at a ‘Connect to iTunes’ screen that forces a complete firmware re-install. If you forego the wiping and re-installation of iOS from your iPhone or iPad, you’re left with a bricked and completely useless device.

This morning has basically been a disaster for Apple. First its highly-anticipated roll-out of iOS 10 welcomed users with a bricked device. Now, following the release of iOS 12.5.1, users report they can no longer connect to iCloud Music Library — the lynchpin required to sync music across supported devices.

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or Windows (and Linux) PC users are all susceptible to whatever is causing the issue and many are finding their content inaccessible while the service is down.
