Regardless of what this article says, I'm sure we'll still see the threads listed below:

#1 - My battery life is terrible w/ iOS9

#2 - My WiFi doesn't work after updating to iOS9

Battery life is horrible! I guess they added the battery saving feature to make up for the broken battery life in general lol!

My Wifi appears to work fine.

i guess people really wanted "a dedicated" app for iCloud drive..

Finally, will work just like dropbox.... The only thing now that prevents me from using icloud drive is cost...

Looks like Leo got his wish with the keyboard in lower case now too with :)

Be confused no more. As for me, i didn't mind. but its good to see a change. It's more easier on the old brain.

Good that 'Find my Friends' in on iOS be default now, but i would complain, since i don't use it :p, but i guess Apple wants everyone to use it. Battery info displayed for different apps finally, but Android had them already..... Now we the Android users will find something else to go after..

Tip for people with the new music app! i turned on the option to only show offline music (I had none downloaded at the time as it was a fresh build) and there was no options to turn it back off!

The only way i got round it was to purchase something so it automatically downloaded, then i was able to toggle the options as i had offline content.

Hope this helps!

Did you not still have the "Playlists" or "album/artists/songs/etc" filter? That has the offline switch on it.
Granted, I have offline content, so can't check the behaviour myself
 
Apple: We give 16GB not 32GB because you should use cloud more

Telecom: You are limited to 7GB of internet use every month
 
Don't suppose there's a share extension yet in the mail app?
How do you mean?

Long pressing on an attachment displays the share sheet. Has various options on the top line to "copy to..." And lists the apps that will take it (for a pdf, mine has Dropbox, skitch, email, notes, messages, one note, and others).
The bottom line has print, print with printer pro (app I've got installed), markup, save to Dropbox, quick look, save attachment (gives the same popup as the new "insert attachment" editing emails, allowing you to pick a file from Dropbox, iCloud Drive, others), markup and more.

Tapping the pdf on an email displays it (seems to display quicker than I remember), and again has the share button in the bottom left, which displays the share sheet, and the Markup button in the bottom right. This loads up the pdf for you to draw on, add text, magnify a section, or sign.
Tapping Done loads it into a reply to the original sender.
 
Ooh, viewing a photo in messages, you can swipe the photo down to close it (like Facebook or Twitter did).
 
There's no Open In... option in the mail message itself. I'm hoping they open it up a little more for those of us who have gotten into a few things with workflow. I can pick a calendar appointment in workflow and work from there, I want to be able to do the same with mail - we're at the mercy of apple here...
I know there's a couple of mail apps that do support the share, but neither are useful for me (one won't support exchange accounts, and I can't remember the reason for the other)
 
My only concern with this new "Low power mode" in iOS9.

- Firstly, how can u call it "Low power" when its not .. 3 hours is not exactly (save your work and switch off) type of reserved power moment, like it works on Mac. So perhaps someone should up thought of a new name..

- If Apple can give us 3 hours more, then its 3 hours more ... It's not even reserved or anything.

- I'm guessing how Apple archives this states would be it automatically disables networking (Airplane mode-like) state and perhaps GUI disables task switcher or fade in/fade out, reduce brightness...etc... however, users can do all that manually anyway... So, i don't really see point the fact Apple can "give us 3 hours" extra....

If i disable all stuff now, i can get better battery life, its probably not going to be 3 hours though.
 
I love all the changes. The Android users love to say they already had majority of these features, I myself love to say first does not mean good, which is mutually exclusive with good does not mean first. I prefer good than first at anytime. Who care who make it first, if it was crappy, I am pretty sure nobody would like it. :D
 
Double tap home button to access Apple Pay, same as on Watch!!!
Sorry if someone else already posted... just noticed on accident & posted immediately. Lol.

I'd rather double-tap to access the app switcher and save the home button.
 
Did anybody notice this? Not sure how many of you uses assistive touch. iOS9 allow us to customise the placements. No more drilling into devices just to access the lock button.

I can't speak for iCloud Drive because I haven't switched that on yet, but attaching a file from Dropbox, first downloaded the file before it inserted it into the email.

Hang on a sec. Aren't all your iCloud Drive files stored locally as well? That would mean no need to download the files.

No had absolutely nothing, i could switch to playlists and back again but nothing was there and no way out.

I don't use iCloud Drive, so couldn't say.
It was Dropbox that I used, and that downloaded the file first.
 
In all fairness, Shake to Undo is pretty useful if you, say, accidentally delete a whole paragraph of an important essay because you were trying to change the font and accidentally pressed the delete key (this happened to me). I'm not sure what I would have done without Shake to Undo.

You're conflating Shake to Undo with Undo.

Of course Undo is useful. No one is disputing that. It's having to pick up and shake the device that's the problem. There should be a software method (a button or a gesture), instead of (or at least in addition to) the hardware method.

New features are functionality.
Not quite. Functionality of something is how well it works and perhaps to some degree of how useful/good it is at what it does. New features can be seen as added/new functionality, in a sense, but not in the way that poster had used it (which is basically consistent with what I mentioned in the prior sentence).
 
That's how it works.

Apple pay double-tap is from the lock screen, not the home screen.

Really!? So I can finally just double tap the home button and instead of "Reachability" it accesses the app switcher!? That's great! Home buttons can be flaky. I wish you could tap it once to close an app.
 
I like the new battery saving functions a lot. But the overall battery consumption should be the primarely focus, not reducing processes or features to gain extra battery life. This especially accounts for the latest iOS devices, where primarely function followed form.
 
New features are functionality.

Not when a new feature doesn't work as it is supposed to. My point is fine tune everything you have before trying to add 50 new things with every new release. That seems to be the Apple approach this time around and I like it. If I want a bunch of new gimmicky and buggy features I will go buy a Samsung.
