You'd need to install 9.1 on the phone if you'd want to restore from a backup that was made from 9.1.
Hmmmm......might hold off slapping it on my 6 in case there's problems restoring from backup when the 6S Plus arrives.

I'm sure it'll be easy enough to put the PB on that too, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
 
You can download the developer beta if you are a developer and install it that way, but public betas are done OTA.
It's sad. I really want to install it now but I have to wait until I come home. Why Apple decide for me that I can't download it using LTE?
 
I'm in the UK and having trouble installing the profile. just keeps saying Profile failed to install.
There are no profiles installed on my phone. anyone having the same issue.
 
Anyone else having issues with rotation? My iPad Air 2 is stuck in landscape mode and I have to press the home button to get it to rotate.... Then it gets stuck in that position lol annoying but not too pressed about it
 
My air 2 was practically unusable for the first 10 min after the update. Working perfectly afterward, obviously a bunch of background things going on there for a while.
Same on my iPhone 6. First minutes the touchscreen acted crazy (not responding, responding with a huge lag, and so on). After that? Smooth as silk. Great update. Nothing new, besides Emoji, but great performance improvements. Especially Continuity now displays the icon all the time on the iDevices and or Mac.

El Capitan GM is also very good. But still, with phone calls, it is a concert of devices ringing. Apple really should do something about it. I have an iPad, iPhone and Mac and they all ring together. And the Mac displays a missed call if I answer on my iPhone. Moreover, calendar notifications. Apple should really use continuity to detect which device is not in standby and push the notification primarily on that one and/or, when they are all connected, let the iPhone make sound while the others only display a banner. Something along those lines...
 
Will iOS 9 work on older iOS devices, or will it only be for the newest generation? Will it work on iPad Air 2?
 
Still not getting the News app in Canada. Anyone else? 9.1 did fix the bluetooth issue I was having with my car handsfree system since the last 9.0 PB :)
 
The difference in battery life between the iOS 9 PBs and 9.1 is remarkable on my Air 2, based on about 12 hours' experience (so, very early data). PB1 and PB3 ran almost half as long as 8.x. (PB2 was a disaster on my Air 2.) iOS 9.1 PB1 seems to be running maybe 30% longer than 8.x. If that holds up over the next week, that would be fantastic.

I haven't had any performance problems since installing 9.1 PB1, either. Performance seems to be at least as good as 8.x and 9.0 PBs. One noticeable improvement is that the touchscreen seemed somewhat unresponsive with iOS 9.0. That has been fixed in 9.1 PB1.
 
Can confirm iOS 9.1 public beta 1 runs great on iPhone 6 plus. The last beta of 9.0 (PB5?) was terrible. Never ran 9.0GM so I can't say if it was better then PB5, but 9.1 (so far) is WAY more responsive. Continuity and Hand Off are finally working properly now too.

Appreciate the info. Hope they will make 9.1 available on the release date.
 
very smooth. And they fixed a bug in the notifications tab with notifications not clearing after pressing the "x". Can't wait for iOS9.
