"Apple released iOS 7.0.6 to patch a vulnerability which, if unpatched, could allow attackers to capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS. However, quite a few users have reported that the upgrade didn't go as planned and their iDevices have been bricked after the update or during the update process. Users have flocked to Twitter as well as Apple support forums voicing their concerns and frustrations as quite a few users have tried updating their iOS 7 devices while on the move and once bricked, their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch requires a connection to iTunes to restart."

    That's funny, because everyone I know with an iOS device hasn't cabled up since iOS 5, when over-the-air updating was introduced. Backups and music is all done over network.

    The only time you need to cable up is if something happened to the OS image, or if you actually want to.

    Oh, and if "your definition" doesn't match with the generally accepted definition, then we call your definition "wrong." Something that is bricked is only as useful as it's mass, and is completely unrecoverable without warranty repair or outright replacement.
