UPDATE: after two hard resets, iOS 9 PB1 is running smoother. Less hangups and smoother graphics. Scaling is back to normal as well.

Wonder if it's the hard resets or just the passage of time. Mine definitely got snappier as time went on. Like there was some kind of indexing happening and it's now completed.
 
Is there anyway to install the iOS 9 beta through itunes? I have a spare iPad which has a dead wifi chip but everything else on the tablet works.
 
In El Capitan beta program Im always getting this error;

"Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Try again later."

What the hack is that?
 
I'm seeing multiple reports from people (as well as myself) that Apple News has not been included in iOS 9 Public Beta 1. The app simply doesn't exist on this OS.

Edit: I'm being informed that public beta testers in the US do have Apple News. Seems to be a US only thing right now, which is totally dumb.

There is an easy trick to get access to the news app if you're out of the supported areas ... Settings > general > Language & Region > set region to united states .. Restart then it should appear after that ... Works for me here in Canada no issues .. And I actually like it
 
using it on a 5S and I'm very surprised at how stable it is. The only issue I've seen so far is some missing icons on the control centre. Time will tell.
 
Few bugs, but has an interesting one: Resize Finder Sidebar. Than close the Finder and reopen it. See??? The Sidebar is back to its original size again! hahahah Try it again! You can play this game with the Finder all day. It will always win!

Yep, worked for me in Ireland. Thanks.

Is the change in typeface that noticeable? What don't you like about it?
Yes, the letters are a lot more rectangular vertically than HN, and it's heavier in general

Also the tracking is wider than HV - especially noticeable in bodies of text

In iOS9, why does the search page work when you pull down and swipe right from the first page of your homescreen? It seems odd to have it in both places, no? I don't see an option to turn one or both of them off. It is also annoying that the keyboard doesn't display automatically when using the swipe right option. I know it is a beta, so I hope they will pick one or the other come release.
 
Cant get past pressing the download profile button lol.
I had to re-try this about 5-6 times before it worked. Once it did, everything else went smoothly and quickly (iPad Air 2). I do have over 100Mbps on the internet connection, though.
 
Can't even connect to the beta website. Guess it is getting hammered now.

Just as well - it's Friday morning here and I don't really want my devices malfunctioning later in the day.

Might play around with them over the weekend just to have a feel. See how the feedback goes. :p
 
iPhone 6 Plus stuck in recovery mode after OTA update to Beta 1. iTunes forcing me to update back to 8.4 or restore (still to 8.4). Does this mean the update failed?

Edit: iTunes completed 8.4 downloaded, iPhone couldn't be updated. Now emergency restoring iPhone. I've got to say, I don't envy people who are truly living in the post-PC era. If I didn't have access to iTunes right now, I'd be pretty screwed.

Updated 10.10 on my 2011 iMac without any major issues. Little Snitch needed a nightly build, and no updates for TotalSpaces or iStat Menu yet but everything else seemed ok after a few minutes to play. No joy updating the iOS profile on my iPadr Mini. Wouldn't put either on my MBA or iPhone :D
