I presume that’s because Apple solved the problem iOS 8 had of requiring an unreasonable amount of work space to perform the install. iOS 9 was an easy install on both my 64GB iPhone and my 16GB iPad.

They’ve employed compression and if that’s not enough, remove App Store apps (not their data store) to free up space. Afterwards, they re-download the removed apps.
So what the heck does ‘available for reservation in … stores in tax-free states’ mean? It can’t mean what it says as most US states (like Virginia where I’m getting mine Friday) certainly are not tax free. 🙂
I figured this out with help from MacRumors. It means ‘no walk ins’ in tax free states since a lot of scalpers operate there to maximize profits. Reservations are fine. Of course, those are cut off now for Friday.
Apple phones have amazing Ram system. All other android mobiles have a big problem of getting hang. but apple provide us fast speed and this is only device which pick up 4G internet.
