Downloading iOS 10 to my iPad Pro, and watchOS 3 to my AW.

Downloading iOS 10. I always wipe my iPhones and setup as new prior to downloading/installing a new version of iOS. Some call me crazy, but it seems to help.

Just checked, The update is there, I usually wait until things have calmed down though.
Of course at the moment I only have my iPad Pro to update.

Hmm.. you have a good point.. waiting. I have 3 iPhones, 2 iPads and an iPod Touch. I think I'll update my iPhone 6s now and wait on the others, perhaps one device per day.

I find that by the next day things have calmed down.

Wowsers, this update must be big, it's taking a while on the Apple progress bar screen.

Most likely because everyone and his dog is downloading it right now.

I've owned several iPhones, iPod Touches, iPads since 2012 and this is the first time I've ever hit a snag.. it says that I need to connect to iTunes (graphic). Connected and waiting.

Updating iTunes on my MacBook. My iPad is in recovery mode.

My iPad does the same. I hope this isn't happening in general.

Don't like the sound of that.

I noticed that iTunes downloaded a firmware update. I wonder if that could be the reason for needing iTunes.

I'm updating my iPad Pro to iOS 10 and the update size is 1.7GB. I'm hoping my download doesn't have problems. Right now it says I have 3 hours left.

@J. A. I went ahead and wiped my iPhone 6s a second time and setup as a new iPhone, I was not asked to plug the phone into iTunes this time. I'm thinking it was the firmware update, this second install was much smoother and error-free. Just FYI.

EDIT: I see that the iOS version installed right now is 10.0.1 rather than 10.0. So, iOS has already had a minor point update.
