Apple Releases iOS 9 With Proactive Siri and Search, iPad Split-Screen Multitasking, Transit Directions, and More

[TackUGA02]

Definitely suggest downloading via iTunes if you can. I went from 6 minutes OTA to "failure" message" to about 4 minutes via iTunes. Running smoothly now!

I was getting the same error. Took about 15 tries to get in. Started at 17 minutes remaining. Now down to 13 about 5-6 minutes later.

 

[BigMcGuire]

I downloaded it in seconds on iTunes (FIOS). Highly recommended.

just upgraded, battery life is terrible so far. already down 80%

Why are you surprised? That's normal.

Installed via OTA on my iPad Air and iPhone 6s. Both completely updated now.

 

[5aga]

still failing - installgate

 

[Godzilla71]

This never happened with Android!!!

That's because 90 something percent of the Android users cannot get the latest updates and are still running older versions.

 

[jsalda]

It would be the same thing whatever hour they released...

Um, I disagree. If they launch it at midnight, then only the hardcore will try to update immediately. Then, as people in each timezone wake up and start moving around, they will try to update, so it would be a gradual increase in traffic. As it is now, all of N America is sitting there waiting for 10 PST to come around and start hitting the update buttons at once.

News app is a major disappointment.

Also, where is the promised new iCloud security feature?

there never was. They were providing you with false assurance.

 

[vertsix]

Pretty sure some Apple servers caught fire at this point.

Still getting download failed prompts.

 

[kupkakez]

Installed via iTunes without any issue.

 

[Palliser]

iPhone 6.. All is well and installed here. After a few "software update failed" errors it finally updated and installed.
Hope it starts working for everyone soon.

iTunes has been running for 20min so far, only 22.4mb downloaded and I have a 30gb down connection

 

[rizzo41999]

I miss when these things just worked :/

 

[TMRJIJ]

Ah! I truly miss iOS 6 and Scott Forstall. Apple software design and engineering was top notch when he was in charge. Considering what Federighi and Ive did to iOS since his abrupt dismissal, Cook made a HUGE mistake in firing him.

I hate to cause confrontation but. . . . I disagree. iOS 6- was ugly, buggy, and Maps was terrible.

Me too but after extracting and preparing for my iPad Air 2, its been sitting at Updating iPad Firmware for quite a few minutes.

 

[pat500000]

This is ridiculous. Get your **** together Apple.

It doesn't seem like they would want to.

 

[ChazSch]

download installed and working great so far. Notes with checkboxes is really helpfully to me...

 

[zzLZHzz]

something i can't quite understand is why iTune works while OTA doesn't especially when they are coming from similar server.
in any case iTune was faster for me since my iPad doesn't have AC wifi while my rMBP do.

updating progress about 80% now.

 

[dyrer]

iTunes 12.3 released also

North America is hammering the downloads, now. If it was night there, Australia would be hammering the downloads... There will always be a bunch of people updating, if it's night time somewhere, it's day time elsewhere.

 

[Seanm87]

Working for me now on iPhone but not ipad

 

[djang0]

So about how long do we have until Apple stops signing 8.4.1? Considering upgrading to iOS 9 but would like a downgrade possibility.

 

[WestonHarvey1]

Seems like they're never ready for these launches. Can't remember the last time I was able to confidently install an update on release day.
