Apple today released iOS 9.
With this update your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch become more intelligent and proactive with powerful search and improved Siri features. New multitasking features for iPad allow you to work with two apps simultaneously, side-by-side or with the new Picture-in-Picture feature.
Built-in apps become more powerful with detailed transit information in Maps, a redesigned Notes app, and an all-new News app. Improvements at the foundation of the operating system enhance performance, improve security and give you up to an hour of extra battery life.
How to update your device wirelessly:
If a message says that an update is available, tap Install Now. You can also follow these steps:
1. Plug your device in to power and connect to the Internet with Wi-Fi.
2. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
3. Tap Download and Install. If a message asks to temporarily remove apps because iOS needs more space for the update, tap Continue or Cancel. Later, iOS will reinstall apps that it removed. If you tap Cancel, learn what to do next.
4. To update now, tap Install. Or you can tap Later and choose Install Tonight or Remind Me Later. If you tap Install Tonight, just plug your iOS device in to power before you go to sleep. Overnight, your device will update automatically.
5. If asked, enter your passcode.
How to update your device using iTunes:
If you can’t update wirelessly, you can update with iTunes. If your computer uses the Personal Hotspot on the iOS device that you’re updating, connect your computer to a different network.
1. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Open iTunes and select your device.
4. Click Summary, then click Check for Update.
5. Click Download and Update.
MacDailyNews Take: Good luck, everybody!

What with the OTA error apple, seriously what beta testing was ever done over the last couple of months?????
I, too had an error on trying to download! But it was resolved by shutting off my iPhone, then powering back up- download worked after that!
Yeah, I tried to update after an hour and it worked.. Looks like server issues, which they did not expect.
Well paint me one of those updating “Fools rushing in” cuz I’d sure like CarPlay to work via Bluetooth in iOS9 and I’m all set up for it.
WORKED PERFECT!
thanks Apple
Updated
Surprised it downloaded so easily! Usually takes forever the first day.
i havent even been able to update to 8.4 because apple keeps saying my iphone is no longer connected to the internet.. but it is.. so i will never use 9.
You could try using iTunes.
Any recos here av. on alphabetizing the beta on iPad ?
Do I really have to delete all and then setup as new device in order to begin to rebuild my apps and content?
NOWAY!
Worked perfect through lightning cable and iTunes app……..wireless OTA didn’t work……..
Lightning cable will be faster than OTA anyway….!!
Using the iTunes approach (the iTunes pop-up on a connected Mac) worked like a charm.
curious about the iCloud drive app.
finally access to my files on iOS.
Still missing a native and iOS-Preview app with security check on pdf (the pdf format one of the most underestimated containers for malicious code, on windows rarely scanned deep enough to discover high level attacks)
I am also not surprisd because it is Adobe, so like Flash or Java a very supporting environment also for very young and for amateur hackers.
the real bad guys are after something entirely different than your consumer data, of which you probably revealed almost anything anyways on fb.
they are after employee accounts, bank pins and stealing your digital fingerprint on your jailbroken or android device.
The windows phones are way safer than the Schmoogle stuff.
At least they are not that open to advertising pizo.
the user experience on the iPhone 5 and 5s to me as 6foot guy with average or taller hands was way better, because 1 Hand was enough. Number 6 is not anymore. I would prefer that 4 inch only if the magnification was supported on that size as well.
Also the all round up shape is to slippery.
BUT who cares about minorities, right?
You’re not left-handed, right?
Updated over the air fine and quickly for me.
I will say I preferred Helvetica Neue, and a lower case querty keyboard is damned ugly, but I can live with those changes, if others prefer them.
Though I will say that the new font is GORGEOUS in the mail app!
Damn! My thoughts were completely the opposite! The first thing I cheered was the new system font and lower-case key caps. Oh well, to each his own I guess…
iPad Air, App Store app says I have 6 apps to update, but the buttons all say “Open”, instead of “Update”, and clicking them seems to just open the app, instead of update. iTunes shows they do need to be updated. Powered down, restarted, went back to App Store and the Open buttons changed to Update for a second, then back to Open when I went to the Updates page. Huh.
It appears that Pages and Keynote do not support split screen. Is that correct? At least I can’t make it work with those Apps on my iPad Air 2.
Had a very sluggish iOS 9 install on my iPhone 6 Plus til I did a hard restart that finally fixed it.
My hunch is the MacDailyNews app is not iOS 9 ready😖
Can anyone verify if iOS9 is snappy on a 5s? Or on an iPad2? Concerned about loading on older tech.
Podcasts won’t open. Restarted. Strange.
