If the latest update bricked your iPhone it might not have installed properly. If you installed over wifi I think the fix is settings > iCloud > back ups > manage storage and see if you have iOS 9.3 in there. Delete it.

Then wait for Apple to re-release it. I never get the software when it first comes out. Nor rush, no reason to. I update before things start crashing for sure but never the first on the block.

Can't wait to retire. About 01/21/18 but who's counting?
