Depending on how you look at it, the new update to your iPhone’s lock screen is either a great thing or the worst feature to come out of iOS 10. See, each time there’s a new software update (regardless of OS), you usually have to wait a day or two and see how the new upgrade responds to being on the public’s various devices.
If 15 minutes has passed and your device still displays the recovery mode screen, Apple says you will need to repeat all of the steps and choose “Restore” instead of “Update”.

iOS 10 is out now.
‘The problem was quickly resolved and we apologize to those customers.

The iOS 10 update brings a slew of new features that focus on users’ security.
