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

[spytech]

Downloading yet again, 9 minutes.

Why is the OTA 1.2 gigs and the iTunes update 2.04 gigs?

When you update through iTunes it downloads the entire file.

safari seems snappier, but seriously, where are the ad blockers?

Third party extensions. You'll have to wait a couple days probably.

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

Okay it's downloading for me now, 29 minutes remaining.

 

[Steviejobz]

Hey, I am getting a pop up for accepting the Terms and Conditions. WTF apple!!!

 

[gsmornot]

News app is a major disappointment.

Also, where is the promised new iCloud security feature?

How long have you been using the News app?

 

[johnfreeborn]

I was getting the error but just kept retrying and now it's downloading.

 

[jbachandouris]

Can't download right now either in Schenectady (Albany), NY.

I'm from Rensselaer. In Amsterdam right now. Not working.

 

[LillaViking]

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

 

[Blujelly]

just getting update failed all the time...

 

[8281]

The update failed thing always happens when requests time out or the download servers are jammed up

You'd think by now Apple would have made some updates to those servers. Tim must be "working on it." : )

I'm getting this on my iPad. I'll try again after lunch.

 

[AtheistP3ace]

Same here. Software Update Failed. Blarg.

 

[MasterMac]

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

13A340 anyone?

Just updated, it's on build 13A344.

 

[stulaw11]

GM is NOT the newest release, the official is a different version. 13A344 is newest.

Was getting failed too keep trying, mine just clicked in and started. It's the servers getting hammered is all, quit bellyaching.

The GM update is only 42mb itll be quick.

 

[OldSchoolMacGuy]

Millions of people across the world are trying to download a 1GB+ update at the same time. Yeah, the servers are getting slammed.

 

[snakes-]

13A344 from developer center can i update with this or must i make all new?

 

[TMRJIJ]

Now it's when the complaints are going to start and the "iPhone slow" searches on Google will peak - just like every release for the last 2-3 years. Apple has become lazy and wants to push releases in time to meet deadlines - compromising software and the overall user experience. It's all about $$$ now. It's sad.

Still, there will be people claiming that Apple will have everything polished by 9.1... What about getting it right on the first release? Waiting for the next release is not an excuse.

iOS 2 - 5, Maps app, MobileMe begs to differ.
In addition, my User Experience was not compromise. It actually gotten better..

I'm sure their servers are being slammed from all over the world. It's almost like a non intentional DOS attack. I'm sure they have many servers housing the updates but it still takes bandwidth and you can bet their network is slammed. I got the message 6-7 times kept trying and now it's installing.

 

[jdillings]

Okay, who broke it?

 

[ChrisTX]

Receiving this error message. Even tried restarting my 6 Plus. Any suggestions?

 

[AFPoster]

Phone won't update, but iTunes on my Mac will. Now it says 16hours...woohoo

 

[Sloppy.Joe]

Is it broken yet?

 

[Sukach]

iTunes says I have the latest version (the last 9.0 public beta). At least my iPhone recognizes that there is an update, but its failing for me as it is for everyone else.

 

[Oblivious.Robot]

Well looks like it's all jammed up, will try in 'bout 2 or so hours.
Doubt there is a reason to panic.

 

[Godzilla71]

Ok, NOW its coming through iTunes, which is how I like to install it anyway..

Mine says 8.4.1 is the latest on iTunes. OTA tells me 9 is available but I get the failure notification atm
