I thought iOS 9 was supposed to free up a few GB's of storage space. I didn't see that happen...?
Got a tip for us?

I noticed this the other day when I had my iPhone connected to BT speakers. it had battery for both the phone and the speakers. I squealed in delight. It only shows up if your phone is connected to a BT4 device. Works with my BT headphones as well. It is very handy.
Do you have to subscribe to apple music for home sharing? i see no option in the music app for home sharing
All I have to say, is Folder in folder doesn't seem to work anymore! How am I supposed to hide my "almost full" folder of useless crap apple stock apps? 
I only have a half dozen Apple stock apps, not nearly enough to fill a folder.All I have to say, is Folder in folder doesn't seem to work anymore! How am I supposed to hide my "almost full" folder of useless crap apple stock apps?
I'm not having any luck with the AT&T wifi calling activation. It keeps telling me that it's not available in my area. Anyone else having any luck?
Hidden features also include battery drain, stuttering animations and failure to make calls on my iPhone 6 Plus. The calling part was fixed after rebooting but my battery is draining twice as fast, the phone feels warm even with Apple's leather case on.
EDIT:
I would like to edit this post because the battery drain seems to have disappeared after a day's use.

I was excited about the icloud drive app feature but just like all the third party apps, it doesn't show any of the files or folders in my icloud drive other than "Pages" which is empty. I contacted Apple about this in April of 2015 and even through a couple of techs, they just completely stopped responding to me entirely. I basically can't access ANY files on iCloud drive via any device using iOS which makes the service completely worthless in my opinion. I'll post the contact I had at apple regarding the issue if someone else is having it because he surely stopped responding to me entirely.

Just curious. What are the non-crap stock apps for you?All I have to say, is Folder in folder doesn't seem to work anymore! How am I supposed to hide my "almost full" folder of useless crap apple stock apps?
I think we are all missing the REAL killer feature here: We can now set notifications to display by chronological order instead of grouped by app, THE WAY ZEUS FREAKING INTENDED!!!
It took me awhile to find this myself ... Go to "My Music" tab --> Tap on the sort (i.e. Artists) --> You should get a Pop-up showing Home Sharing.
HTH

When you have both Watch and a Bluetooth headset connected, it is quite handy.
New feature: If you are on a call and not using the speakers or headphones, pressing the sleep/wake button ends the call.
I've been told by Apple friends that quitting apps is mostly pointless, based on how iOS handles multitasking, though I don't know how accurate that is... That having been said, there seems to be a lot of room at the top of the screen (in the app-switching view) to add a "close all apps" button.
So nice to hear the guy in the video pronounce "helvetica neue" correctly! Pet peeve of mine.
The News app will come in handy when I am waiting for something to happen at work and don't have anything to do to fill the time.
One of my biggest peeves with Siri is when he gives me a list of say, restaurants and I chose one to get more information, there's no easy way to get back to the list without asking Siri all over again. I just tried by asking for fast food restaurants. I got a list and Siri gave the info about the first one on the list, asked if I liked it, I said no and Siri brought up the info on the next one. Etc. If I said Yes, he asked if I wanted to call or do something else. That's cool. But if I clicked a link in the info and left Siri, I couldn't get back to the list. Oh well.

The installation was suppose to require less free space that would be needed to download and install, that's basically what they were referring to.
I still can't even find a battery widget. I see all the other widgets my apps offer.
What happened to the limit for Notices from a single app. I've got so many from Twitter now, that I can't even see the rest. Going back to Group by App may be the best thing. And move the Twitter notices to the last group.
Swipe left from the home screen so you get to the search screen with news, click 'show more' then try scrolling down (iPad mini) to view the stories at the bottom. Oppps!
Every time you scroll down it just collapses the news results again.
