iOS 9.3 Upgrade - Big Trouble

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

Just upgraded my iPad to iOS 9.3. I would need to activate, but the only message I get is activation server unavailable. Connecting with my MBP and iTunes does not work either.

 

Contacted Apple Support: rather useless, chat got terminated, since my counterpart has not upgraded yet:-)

 

Take it slowly...

I bet Apple servers are being abused right now by the hordes of fans all trying to get the latest and the greatest at the same time so they can instagram it before all their hipster friends.

This is what I just got from a support rep who was finally helpful:

"This is an issue that we’ve seen with the iPad after the update and are addressing it. We’re currently submitting tickets to our engineers for the resolution. This submission needs to be done by a Senior Advisor."

So I am currently on the phone waiting...

First restarting iPad did not do the trick, but restarting MBP and then reconnecting iPad through iTunes did the trick.

 

I am waiting a few days to update my iPhone, though:-)

FWIW, I updated my 3rd-gen iPad and my iPhone 6s this morning without incident.
