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

just updated with absolutely no problem. maybe took 10 minutes on 5s. Possibly my smoothest update to date.
 
Still hesitant to run it on my 6+ because of typical bugs. I will use my iPad Mini 2 as a guinea pig. I will let other iPhone owners serve as guinea pigs though.
 
At&t FAIL. Wifi assist error message.

The only new feature I really need!
Anyone have any luck with this?

If they released it at 11 p.m. PDT then most people in the U.S. would be asleep. As the folks in the East Coast got up, they could start the upgrade process the next morning.

But I think they start these upgrades during California's morning so that they have the full slate of employees on point to deal with things as they come up. Though I'm not sure what crisis management can be done when this amount of data keeps getting called from your servers.

It's not about that. It doesn't matter whatsoever. The USA is big, but it's still just a drop in the ocean. If it was night in the states, the rest of the world would be updating, crippling the servers.

You guys might have the most Apple Stores and all the services that Apple comes out with, but you're definitely not the only place where they sell their devices. Their devices even reach places where they're not sold. Just an example: I live in Portugal and I have an Apple Watch, and it probably won't even be released here.

And yes, I too do believe they do this during the day so they can manage emergency situations. Like they pretty much did with watchOS 2.
 
Now it shows me 2 Days (update trough iPhone). .. Can I i somehow cancel it to start it again from iTunes?
 
iOS9 feels and works okay, but very disappointed with multitasking on an Air2 - only Apple apps get this special treatment. Additionally, if you have the YouTube app installed, Safari won't open youtube.com in the browser (so you could use multitasking to watch something). You must first delete the YouTube app. LAME.
Also some quirkiness with the auto-brightness - too bright, too dark... hmmm
 
Received the Software Update error only when I tried to update my iPad Air 2 wirelessly. Installation via iTunes for my iPhone 6s and, subsequently the iPad Air 2, went without issue. I updated both devices within 45 minutes of iOS 9 being available. No problem updating 3 apps on iPad Air 2. iPhone 6s connected without issue to my Bluetooth/Hands Free Link system in my Honda CR-V either.
 
Having problems with Siri on my iPhone 6 Plus. Pressing down on the home button activates Siri but there's no audio chime to confirm Siri is activated. On the iPad the audio chime works perfectly. Restarted the iPhone 6 Plus and still there's no sound when Siri gets activated. Hmm.
 
Split screen should work with iPad Air 1. It should easily be powerful enough. They just didn't make it compatible.

That's because third party apps haven't updated to use it yet.

Actually - Twitter is capable of split screen multi-tasking already.

There is no longer a chime on the phone, there's a vibration instead

iPad Mini/iPad 2 runs iOS 9 with 512MB RAM. System + open app + apps in background. And iPad Mini 2/Air/iPad 3/4 have 1GB RAM. For system + open app + apps in background. Yeah, it would be possible to run 2 apps. It's not hw issue

iOS 6 had a much more elegant and well thought out UI than Ive's flat cartoony crap. Maps was essentially an unlabeled beta and yeah it got off to a rough start but pretty much everything else about iOS 6 was great especially the stock music app compared to what we have now.

Move on, Billy... Move on. We already have iOS 9.1 and here you are still talking about iOS 6. Some things are better best forgotten. :D

It doesn't work on the YouTube website either. Vimeo works fine though. Blame lies elsewhere I think.
 
Got a pretty robust wifi connection at work in Los Angeles, so the OTA update went pretty quickly on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air2. The restart and setup took longer than the D/L.
