Do not skip making a backup of your phone's data before proceeding to the iOS 10 OTA update!!!

Nearly got a heart attack when I ran into this problem doing the upgrade on someone else's phone. I did everything by the book.

Luckily was able to 'upgrade' it to iOS 9.3.5 with iTunes and the phone came back on with the data still intact.

I see on Twitter that some early updaters are getting bricked phones. Not quite bricked. More like recovery mode.
 
Well there is my girlfriends SE asking to be recovered. Good start Apple. Really hope my 6 will be okay.
 
Tried the OTA update. Usual installation screen and the recovery mode. FFS!

Downloading IPSW file to try an restore from there. Should be ok after that. Apple's servers taking a beating. Download is crawling though.
 
Should be okay now....

Apple fixes issue affecting small number of users following iOS 10 update

Apple released iOS 10 to the public Tuesday afternoon, and as you can imagine, many people raced to download the update as soon as it came out.

Unfortunately, it didn’t go as smoothly for some people and left many people with error messages preventing them from using their devices.

The problem affected a secluded number of those who updated with the over-the-air mechanism from Settings > General > Software Update on various kinds of iOS devices this afternoon.

After the installation was expected to be completed, these users were finding themselves stuck in recovery mode.

On the other hand, things are looking up as Apple has confirmed in a public statement that the problem was only related to a brief hiccup in the roll-out process of the update, and was fixed shortly after.

We experienced a brief issue with the software update process, affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability. The problem was quickly resolved and we apologize to those customers. Anyone who was affected should connect to iTunes to complete the update or contact AppleCare for help.

The glitch only affected a small amount of people who were downloading the update within the first hour iOS 10 was released, but it was easily fixed by restoring the device through iTunes. This means anyone updating now shouldn’t experience this problem. Apple hasn’t released the specific details about what caused the problem, however.

If you followed our preparatory post for how to prepare your device for iOS 10, then you already have a backup of your device that you can restore to to get all of your documents and settings right back where they were prior to the update should any issues arise for you.

If you installed iOS 10 already, did you have any issues? Let us know in the comments below!

So after already starting the OTA download I read about this bricked issue and decide to rather plug it in to my Mac and download through iTunes. Seamingly no way to stop or quit the download on the phone so I just leave it, when iTunes prompts me I choose to start the download thinking that the phone and iTunes will talk to each other and realize they are trying to download the same thing. Fat chance, I would have thought the 2 would have synced up somehow and iTunes will take preference in to doing the download. I now switched off my phones wifi to force it to pause the OTA download while downloading it on iTunes.
 
I just updated to the GM release a few days ago then deleted the beta profile. Did the same for macOS Sierra.
