Did you learn anything new? I've been having exactly the same issue for two days as well. I've reset my phone twice, the update is downloaded ready to go, I've reset my network settings... I've looked online and Apple states that this version is compatible with iPhone 5s. I'm getting really annoyed now as it will clearly be only a short while before Apple decides to case supporting this phone.

I'm already experiencing different issues on my old iPad v3 and no doubt will soon have the same problems on my MacBook Pro Retina. It seems that even though I have no necessity or desire to buy new equipment when my old stuff still works perfectly fine for my needs, Apple has a different idea that involves forcing me to buy new gear.
