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

can you still download apps from the app store with iOS 6?

LOL it wasn't THAT long ago.

Yet somehow Google has no problems supporting my country with everything they've got.

Except that they don't, of course. How's that Google Voice working for you? Don't let those pesky facts get in the way.

When Apple says they *won't* support wherever you are, then you might have a reason to whine. Spaced roll-outs are a natural part of doing business.

Man, I thought entitlement was a US-centric phenomenon.

I always make it think I'm on Apple's own network so I get routed to their internal update server which is never congested.

Use to go to Apple HQ to download big things years ago when we didn't have fast connections at home. Being on their own network makes it a breeze.

How!?!?

One disppointment for me is the new app switcher. Before you could briefly glance at an app without actually entering it, such as your calendar, to quickly read some information before going back into another app, now the app "cards" are overlaid, partially obscuring that info. I don't see the point. Style over substance.

While I see what you're getting at, if you slide away the other apps the app you want to glance at is revealed without the need to switch to it. The difference being that you need to ”keep your finger down” to hinder other apps from sliding in front of the one you want to glance at, so it's less convenient than before – that's true.

On iPad Air 2.. Anyone having issues browsing in safari? It seems to get stuck a lot and would correct itself after restarting safari.

I've experienced this on both my iOS 9 iPhone 6 Plus and on the El Capitan GM. Seems to be an issue with the latest Safari build. Hopefully this is resolved quickly.

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

I know... Heheh! I was being sarcastic...

Try resetting your iPad Settings, if issue continues, start fresh.

Well, I can't believe that Videos App has been messed up for such a long time, since iOS7 maybe?

Totally unusable, at least for me. And I wonder why nobody at Apple cares.

I don't see any thumbnails, cannot read their description, canot sort it in any way and when I click on one video to play it I am presented with yet another empty screen where I need to press play again.
And those "thumbnails" - why the hell are they vertical anyway? Most videos - and I mean most - are horizontal or widescreen - so why can't Apple use the simplest list like Infuse?

Compare...

This is helpful, thanks. It looks like the right edge of the app is still obscured and this doesn't work with the last "card in the stack". In the past I'd open the app switcher and close certain apps and leave others. Now I just tend to close all of them, perhaps because it just looks like a cluttered mess to me. I think it'd make more sense to have the app switcher as extra-large thumbnails, 6-8 on the screen at a time, you could easily see whats open at a glance and swipe away what's not useful (or just keep the old app switcher). I think this is just an example of change for the sake of it to add a "new look" to iOS9.

Good findings and good points! I think it's time to give feedback to Apple.
