Q: Is the iOs 9.3 update safe?

When I upgraded my older iPad to iOs 9, it bricked. Apparently same problem many others experienced. Have tried all suggested fixes without success, and will take to service store.

MEanwhile, I have a newer iPad and iPhone 6 that have not yet been upgraded. Before I do, was wondering if iOs 9.3 has caused any similar problems.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

    IOS 8.3 caused many priblems  IOS 9.3.1 fixed most of them. I'd make a backup and go for it.

    Finally got up my courage and did 9.3 for both my iPhone and iPad.

    PLUS, the older iPad (which really is my husband's, and he was using mine while his was dead), I took to the service dealer here and they were able to get it up without wiping everything out. Hubs is horrible about making backups so I've just decided to take over doing that. It beats living through the agony of listening to him curse about losing everything

    Anyway, thanks!
