Apple Releases iOS 9.0.1 With Multiple Bug Fixes

[btrach144]

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.

Did you even bother to read the article?

Since you can't read:

- Fixes an issue where some users could not complete setup assistant after updating
- Fixes an issue where sometimes alarms and timers could fail to play
- Fixes an issue in Safari and Photos where pausing video could cause the paused frame to appear distorted
- Fixes an issue where some users with a custom APN setup via a profile would lose cellular data

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.

I have yet to update but I am seeing a lot of app updates from last week reappear. Strange.

Same here, on both my iPad and iPhone.

If you are a little bit adventurous - you can get 9.1 right now from the beta side - its open to anyone - https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/redemption

I have it running on all my devices without issue (2 I6, 1 5s and 2 ipad mini 2)

Seems like something's going on with the App Store today even with 9.0 (if not earlier iOS versions as well).

Really frustrating. 9.0 has been the buggiest iOS release from Apple thus far. I'm really hoping that it will run better on the 6s/6s+.

This App Store thing is likely not related to iOS 9.

I have the same, except it's in my iTunes App library, not on the phone. I think something happened at the App Store, not released to this update (directly).

Wonder if it fixes the issue with 3rd party keyboards!

The issues that I have right now on my iPhone 5 using 9.0 that do not appear to have addressed (from what I have heard):
- general lag (and not responding to all taps)
- spotlight search broken (no search results)
- settings app freezing when coming back to it after having used the settings search
- iCloud backup weirdness, next backup size still comes up as "0 bytes".

Can anyone who has updated to 9.0.1 (and who saw this on 9.0) tell me if these have been addressed?

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

It's an issue of timing, time it takes to prep a release for the public, and risk management with releases. 9.0.1 was actually likely done by the time 9.0 went public a week ago (two was GM, not release), but represents bugs that weren't important enough to derail the 9.0 release for. Stuff that was reported/found between b5 and GM, but didn't meet the bar for delaying 9.0. So anything not meeting the bar, but important enough to fix soon, got put into 9.0.1. Anything that didn't meet that bar goes into 9.1, etc.

If you delay a release every time you find a bug, you never ship. So instead, you set bars at different points in development of what priority of bug does or doesn't make it into your next release. This is a useful tool for keeping your team focused on the important fixes at the end of development.

Is this the fastest .0.1 release ever?

The same release pattern as last year's iOS 8.0.1 which came also a week after iOS 8.

iOS 7, too. 7.0.1 (9/19/13) was released ONE day after 7.0 was (9/18/13), although that was specific only to 5c/5s, then 7.0.2 was released on 9/26/13 for all 6.0-capable devices.

iOS 6 was staggeringly different. 9/19/12 for 6.0, then 6.0.1 on 11/1/12.

Intredasting, not experiencing any lag on neither my 5S or my iPad Air. All smooth sailing and what not.

Too bad it didn't fix the cellular off/on issue for individual apps. Maybe the next release, I hope.

What are you on? iOS 9 has been out for seven days and we already have a x.x.x update. If you were on Android, you'd be waiting at least 27 years.

Really frustrating. 9.0 has been the buggiest iOS release from Apple thus far [for me].

Corrected that for you.

Why the hell does it need at least 50% battery to install? It can't take that long to install as the download only took a few seconds.

I just hope it fixes the bug which means it now takes hours (and I do mean hours) to download magazines to Newsstand. This is very annoying.

Clearly you are new to Apple and to these forums if you think iOS 9 is the buggiest release ever.

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?

resetting settings fixed the time sync issue for a lot of people.

 

[fredsoneya]

It's bricked my phone, having to restore via iTunes. Did usual over-air-update on 6+

 

[tgi]

Is this faster for any 6/6+ users? iOS 9.0 made by 6+ stutter and lag a lot.

 

[zorinlynx]

Aside from the time skew issue this has been a fairly trouble free .0 release for me. I think mileage varies greatly.

Apple today released iOS 9.0.1, a minor update that introduces several bug fixes for iOS 9. The iOS 9.0.1 update comes just one week after iOS 9 was released to the public on September 16.

iOS 9.0.1 is available to all iOS 9 users as an over-the-air update. Here's a full list of the bug fixes the update includes:iOS 9.0.1 is a minor update that introduces bug fixes and performance enhancements to iOS 9.

- Fixes an issue where some users could not complete setup assistant after updating

This. At least Apple had quick turnaround time on this bug/lack of appropriate QA testing.

I shudder to think what might've happened with friends/family if their iPhones got bricked with the RTM 9.0 release like I experienced. (Backups, people!)

So, iOS 8.4.1 is no longer being signed by Apple?
