Jailbreak. Until there is a way to also block ads in apps like I can do with my Jailbroken iPhone/iPad, I'll keep my 8.3 version on my iPad/6+ till a Jailbreak is out for the current iOS.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Says iOS 9 Installed on More Than 50% of Active Devices, Fastest Adoption Ever

Yes, it sucks. I was at a friend's place over the weekend and suggested him to update his iPhone 4s to iOS 9 (he was still running iOS 7). Next thing you know the device is bricked. I tried to restore his phone from iTunes but it kept complaining that he needed to turn off Find my phone from his iPhone to be able to do that. What the hell? Reallly!? I don't know how many users are affected by this problem but this is a mess. Now he's gotta head back to the store.
blah, jailbreaking was 2011. I find no need for all that silly stuff today. iOS is a lot more advanced then it once was.
So when I put iOS 9 on my iPhone 6, I can upgrade it to the new notes later? When does it give you the choice? Or is it in settings? I really don't want to mess it up and will gladly stay with the old notes app. On my new Mini 4, I don't see an option to switch back to the old notes app. Thx...
Well pardon for stating the obvious, but you are using an os that i EOL so the fact that apple (a rhird party) choses to no longer support it is to be expected. It sucks for you, but so does not recieving securety updates anymore.
Yep, the iCould API is very fragile, in my experience. We have turned off all iCould services, while Apple migrates to a new API.
I noticed that there is some lag when waking the device and also for it to recognize my finger with Touch ID.
My experience has been that every iOS update (7.0 and later) to every iOS device that I've owned has resulted in continued diminished performance and responsiveness. In spite of that track record I installed iOS 9 on my newly acquired Air 2. Everything performs wonderfully and flawlessly. It's the first time that I've had a positive experience upgrading.
Speaking for myself, I upgraded on day 1 (something I almost never do) because iOS8 had been such a buggy mess. I wanted to get it off of my phone as soon as possible. The adoption rate could speak to how displeased people were with iOS8. Very happy with 9 thus far..
You do NOT have to go into settings and disable Crystal. Simple long press the refresh button in Safari and you get an option to reload the page without blocking. Also if you find any page that doesn't work, you can report it in the app. The more people report pages the better the app will get.
As I said above, until I can block ads in apps besides Safari, I have a need to jailbreak. There is still too much iOS doesn't do.
Notes will prompt you when you first open it. You can decline. Then when you're ready to upgrade it, there will be a button near the top next to your notes in iCloud.

Thanks for the info. I have such a great setup that I am hesitant to mess it up, lol. I really appreciate your clarification for me.
I'm trying to figure out how I can run Windows or Yosemite in virtual box and map or link the iPhoto directory, music directory and application support path for iCal back to my live desktop so I don't have to buy another computer in order to run iTunes 12.3. Or iTunes 12.1.3.
I don't think Windows XP is going to see the iPhoto directory and other folders correctly.
I could buy parallels or other app if that allows me to map certain paths.

I only installed IOS 9 because *they* said "This is always the first thing we tell customers for problems with latest iTunes and older iOS versions". i later saw the reason why my PDF's were not sync'ing was because i had to add then first to iBooks NOT due to older iOS,
Thank Apple... I never wanted to upgrade. and i guess there saying its a "first thing" they suggest, is probably more to do with just because we want u to run the latest.... i'm sure troubleshooting has a bit to do with it too.

My 6 has a bunch of glitches and bugs, especially with updating apps. It's also a little more difficult to type when the keys don't pop up when you type.
I'd really love to see the adoption rate after 1 month where the users are able to easily revert back to the previous version. Otherwise, these numbers are meaningless to all but developers.
I'm one of them. Was forced to upgrade to iOS 8 due to bugs, and my iPad 3 was awful , had nothing to loose to moving to iOS 9 as it was suppose to improve performance . A lot of people will upgrade in the hope that thier older devices will be smoother than ios8 . In my books on an older device iOS 8 was the worst release. iOS 9 should have the highest adoption rate ever, due to how poor 8 was. For me 8 is vista and 9 is Windows 7, fingers crossed
Purify app is my choice in ad blocking: Has a mobile specific block list (as opposed to everyone else just reusing desktop blockers), doesn't break pages (so far), and wins every speed shootout I've seen.
You can reload any screen with non blocked content by holding the refresh arrow circle, top right. Hold for a couple seconds and will give you menu choice to reload without blockers. Don't have to go back to settings. After that the next page will be blocked again. Very handy.
I felt a bit guilty when Xcode forced me to insert the 64-bit device requirement line of code. I was thinking how many people would be alienated....
