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

[kiwidesign]

nice, downloading asap. want to try the notes app, but it will not sync to my mac until el capitan

Very curious about this: is it possible to keep using the old Notes format in iOS 9, or once the device is upgraded, Notes won't sync anymore with a mac which is not on 10.11?

What the hell does that even mean? You've "paid into the system" the moment you bought the phone. The update is still free.

not really, as a company apple takes some of the money and put into the software development cost.

it is not FREE, same with Mac OS X updates as well (part of the hardware money reserved for software development and future releases).

in USA nothing is free, friend.

I never upgraded to 8.4.1 on my iPad and now that's all it's offering instead of 9. Any suggestions?

same here.

It stayed blank for me for a few minutes as well, It just had the note that it was downloading the software even though It did not seem like it was doing anything It finally went to the backup and prep stage and continued from there.

Just updated & can't find the new news app - is it not on the iPhone?

I've got the GM beta release on mine- do I need to restore it back to pre-beta to get the official update???

Nop... I had the GM on mine too. I backed my phone up last night so I was not worried about losing anything, and for the first time I installed the actual version over the GM (first time they allow me to).

OTA update worked perfectly! No restore needed, just OTA it and install, just be sure it is backed up just in case.

kept failing, once i kept the screen from going to sleep it worked first time. Odd

That ipad2 purchase years ago has really worked out pretty well...

Successfully updated iOS 9 via iTunes. First attempt failed but it worked second time.

Where can you see the time left in the download. (Downloading thru iTunes)

top right hand corner click down arrow

My guess is that the servers are getting hit hard and this is going to be an issue until demand settles a bit.

There's going to be a demand spike as soon as it becomes available (19 minutes ago) which will last until the majority of those people actually download. Once that initial spike goes away, it should be much easier.

Right now, my iPhone 6 Plus is rebooting with the update, my iPad Air 2 is still downloading (I waited until my phone was done downloading before starting my iPad).

Thanks I figured as much. It's downloading again but at a snails pace even on a fast wifi.

It's downloading on my iPhone but my iPad mini with retina is still saying 8.4.1 is the highest version.

Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of built-in adblocking feature in iOS9? No?

But in Soviet Russia...?

 

[Hagrid]

Downloaded and installed....now to update the 29 apps that have updates for iOS9.....

 

[Windoes]

Waiting for 9.2 or something like that in a while. So I'll relax

Could anyone who has updated already confirm this please?

 

[minicard]

Finally downloaded to my Air2. My 6+ is still downloading. I wonder if the faster downloading in the Air2 is because of the 2Gb of RAM.

I'm afraid you've got to wait until 9.1 for it in the UK, it's available in the 9.1 beta and it works fine for me in the UK!

I still have a "phantom" backup even after deleting my phone. I have 20GB plan, 2.4GB used, but only showing 9.22GB available.

I talked to Applecare support, about the same problem. It's probably best to do a text based chat with them so that things are easier to see and you can upload a screen shot or such. They were able to clear the phantom backup out for me.

I think the most convincing thing was providing a screenshot that showed no backups, but still reported 1.9 gig being used for backups.

No, run the check for update and you will see there's a ~40MB update. You'll be in parity with everyone else at that point.
