I was holding onto iOS 8.4.1 until the initial first patch went through for iOS 9. Something I usually do with most major software updates. Can anyone tell me if there were any major issues that this update addresses? I'm deciding whether I should upgrade or wait till iOS 9.1.

I would wait for iOS 9.1.
 
How many updates have there been since that were just fine? If anything it makes it less likely a snafu like that would happen again.

Hah! I take it that you aren't seeing the downward trend in Apple's QA ability? From now on I'll wait a day or two for user reviews before I install an iOS update again.

Glad I haven't updated my iPod touch to iOS 9 yet, might as well get all the minor updates at once in a week or so. :)

Patience is a virtue. I never update my software on the first day. I always wait for the .01, or sometimes even .02. And I always wait a few days after to ensure no new nasty problems arise from the update.
 
I hope this fixes the clock skew problem some people are having. At least one app had to suspend its services because of random clock skew across their iOS 9 using players.

It still amazes me how stuff like this can make it to release, especially when you have such a larger beta testing pool than before. And I know for a fact people reported this.

My phone is 80 seconds fast!

EDIT: Nope, still broken. How utterly disappointing. I guess I'll be manually syncing my phone to my Casio radio-clock equipped watch for another few weeks. WTF is wrong with Apple?

I'm seeing the reality that out of dozens and dozens of updates there was an issue with about a couple of them over the years. So probability is there but rather low. Nothing wrong with waiting a bit to see what s going on, but that doesn't mean it's somehow likely that there would be something.
 
makes sense, looking at the items. looks high priority items.

I do not need update or most customers do not need to update.
Not everything that's updated is always listed in high level public release notes. But sure you can decide to update or not, as always.

Does this happen with a phone that has a fresh new install of iOS 9 or one that had 9.0 beta (or GM) on it before?
 
these software updates are becoming joke; why release two weeks back 9.0 if the 9.0.1 is coming out soon?

soon there will be 9.1


Would you prefer if they had delayed the release of 9.0? I'm not sure most people would have been happy if they'd done that.
 
iphone 6 user here.still lagging.Theres still a black screen lasting one second before Chrome launches and some other apps launch.My co-workers Moto G is launching Chrome faster than my iPhone 6 a year old flagship :(

I think it's marginally smoother when opening apps in 9.0.1.

I don't see my 6+ hanging after I press on an app

The spotlight is still stuttering though
 
I had issue with very important phone call switched to FaceTime against my will. Is it because cellular signal was dropping and iPhone tried to switch into FaceTime (Wi-Fi)? Either way, I hope it is fixed.

By they way if you talking to somebody and see "FaceTime loading..." message, just tap on red hang up button and you return to your normal phone call.

I am not sure, maybe I hit it with my ear? But this isn't possible because screen is supposed to be off when you talking.
 
I installed 9.0.1, and it seems to have removed all of the app updates that I've installed over the past week. I now have 20 pending app updates, dating back to September 15. And I'm absolutely sure that I installed all of them previously.
Seems like something's going on with the App Store today even with 9.0 (if not earlier iOS versions as well).
