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

[madsci954]

Most importantly we need a build number to ensure that the previously issued GM is still the same...

13A340 anyone?

I'm running the GM and I see a 42 MB update.

"Software Update Failed". 'An error occurred downloading iOS 9.' Anyone else getting this? UK here.

Same here. I'll just wait a little while and try again.

Here we go! Been using the beta since it was released and it's been pretty good so far!

Same here. I presume the update hasn't yet propagated to the relevant mirror.

This is exciting. Finally an update that will also focus on faster performance - I will try to hold off for a few days to install to see if any issues if I can wait...

I just checked 60 seconds before this post popped up and it wasn't there. NOW it is!

But now I'm getting "software update failed"...

I know the servers were going to get jammed but I'd think I'm one of the first, as I said it was less than a minute...

I really don't know why I immediately checked for updates after reading the headline considering I've got the 9.1 beta installed.

 

[charlituna]

but is iCloud backups fixed. that's a big one for me because i travel a lot and i don't take my computer with me all the time

To be fair, I liked the iOS 6 design far better.

It was also faster on older iDevices. I'd do anything to downgrade my 5th gen. iPod touch to iOS 6. Atrociously slow on iOS 8.

I'm on the GM and have a 42.7MB update available in Software Update. Different build?

Same here. iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 both on the GM show a 42.3MB update. But...both fail when going to download.

Edited: I'm going to try with iTunes now. Nevermind. iTunes was just offering a carrier settings update. iTunes says that my iPhone 6 is on the current version.

I'm getting "unable to install iOS 9"

Download is stalling. Must be all these Apple fans!

 

[MacHiavelli]

iOS 9 is good, but 9.1 is so much faster and better.

Same here. Will restart the iPhone and try again, just in case.

 

[prism]

Same here, update failed. How lame!

 

[minicard]

OK let's see how it goes! software update failed.

 

[Bbqthis]

25 seconds remaining and then update failed

Oh!

Probably!

i REALLY wish split screen was available for the 6s. I realize it wouldn't be as useful as on an iPad but I have had times where split screen absolutely would have made my life easier. I do a lot of work on my phone and double clicking the stinking home button ten or more times to reference back and forth is just awful. I may be I the minority, I don't know, it just seems like a feature that would be lovely on Apple's only "phablet"

Erroring out! Already rebooted.

Me too now. Looks like the GM wasn't quite a GM after all
