That was just the big picture features. Usually they talk in more detail when the iPhone's released, but I guess they didn't have time.

I was thinking that too. They didn't even mention El Capitan either. Will the GM be released today for developers?
 
No thanks.

I'll stick around with the super stable iOS 8.4.1 on my 5s until iOS 9.0.1 is launched, because the beta experiences with the iPhone 5s have been especially bad.

This may change with the GM of 9.0 though. Until I get absolute reassurance that it has, I'll upgrade.
 
Biggest excitement for me was the new iCloud pricing. 1TB for 9.99 a month compared to $19.99 is HUGE savings ($120/yr) for me.
 
Yeah the ios 9 gm is out now.

But so is a 9.1 beta already.

I'll run the gm for a day maybe and then install the 9.1 beta.

I don't know if anyone else saw this, but when they were showing off 3D Touch, there was an email on the phone that said, "El Capitan will be released September 30th"

Going by how long much they rehashed, included silly 3rd party shows part of it and talked about some of the news in such a depth as if we were mentally challenged I'm surprised they didn't even properly announce that.

Weird...

Any word on how iOS 9 runs on older iOS devices?

I have a iPhone 5 and I have not been happy with iOS 8.

iOS 7 ran great on it. I wish I had never updated it.
