Apple said in a statement that the problem has now been fixed and that it affected only a "small number" of users despite the social media outcry suggesting otherwise.
"We experienced a brief issue with the software update process, affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability," said an Apple spokesperson.
"The problem was quickly resolved and we apologise to those customers. Anyone who was affected should connect to iTunes to complete the update or contact AppleCare for help." PING!

Sorry Chum,
I do still own 2 apple devices, a retired iPhone 4S, and an iPod Nano and my wife is still using her iPad.
