Who has the new IOS and have you seen any difference yet.

For me it looks the same, there is one or two more new features in the settings and I know they upgraded siri.

She/he can now notify you of reminders when you get to a specific location.

And then obviously they upgraded allot of things under the hood

Huh? Geolocation reminders aren't new...think it was there since 7 already.

I've been running the Beta so long I actually can't remember what's new.

It has brought new life to both my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 though and runs much much better than 8.

Especially when it comes to laggy keyboard etc.

Watch your data usage, i see the notifications have all been switched on.
Theres a default on using mobile data when wifi signals weak.
These things will ruin your data bundle

Thing's I've noticed:

Spotlight search if you scroll all the way to the left on the home screen has been put back in. I think they removed it in iOS7 for some reason. They've also added 'Siri Suggestions', basically shortcuts for commonly used apps and recent calls.

Siri is a little more responsive for identifying songs.

Found a bug where the app store has a notification about new app updates but you open the appstore, and it doesn't give you the option to update them. Rebooting my phone fixed it initially but a day later I got more app updates and the same thing happened.

IOS 9 .... all isnt going well apparently

A significant number of Apple Inc customers are reporting their mobile devices have crashed after attempting to upload the new iOS 9 operating system, the latest in a line of launch glitches for the tech giant.

Twitter and other social media were awash with disgruntled customers reporting two distinct faults, with one appearing to be linked specifically to older models of Apple iPhones and iPads.

"It is beyond inconvenient to not be able to use your phone for a day," said student Pip Cordi as staff in the Apple store in central Sydney looked at her phone on Friday. "I have a lot of apps that I use for school - things like language apps and dictionaries and that's all really important for my studies."

Ja – noticed that. Actually had to turn off Mobile Data at home now – seems wifi signal is a bit on the weak side at the end of the house, and it now drops, and switches over to 4G. iOS 8 never did that. And this is with that new Default toggle switched off...

On a side issue, was burnt a bit with mobile data this week – some of the apps (Dispatch email etc.) are still quashing bugs – which saw it run up 110mbs in data, in a matter of minutes whilst it was crashing/opening/crashing/opening... Have been sent the Beta to try – but still not working.

So a friendly caution to keep an eye on things, at least for the next few weeks!

It was never removed but became swipe down instead.

Which is much quicker as you don't have to go all the way to the first screen first.

I guess people were too dof to figure it out or couldn't change the habit.

****

Actually it's not on the left on mine at all. Just the swipe down gesture.

Guess it's a setting change they added.

No setting that I can find either. Weird.

I updated to iOS 9, and updated the app in question (Dispatch). A bug in the latter, sees it opening, seemingly try to update the contacts address book in the background – which runs in a loop – before crashing. Those few seconds on 4G, can see 30/40MBs burnt. I only realised it when Vodacom's automated sms's starting appearing. They're trying to fix it – so I simply turned off mobile data for it, which seems to be working.

The Wifi dropping and switching to 4G seems to be happening far easier at the moment – even with the toggle switched off. Again – I've simply switched off 4G Data under Mobile, while I'm at home over the weekend – then I needn't worry about it switching without my noticing... sure it will get fixed soon – but it's an annoyance that can trip you up if you're not watchful.

Isn't it a per App problem then?

Where exactly do you find this? I haven't noticed any major usage difference and I've been on every Beta and final GM version as well.

Yes. It IS a specific app problem – in my case, Dispatch Mail app. I was merely cautioning people to watch things a bit more carefully, as they might have Apps that start using far more mobile data after the upgrade to iOS 9 IF that particular app has problems, particularly in something like a mail app, which is already a big user of mobile data.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean in your latter question?
But assuming I do:

My wifi is dropping now, and switching to 4G, if I'm in a particular part of the house. It never did that before. It would simply hang-on to the single wifi bar, and give me real slow Internet, until the connection improved (i.e. – I moved into a different part of the house). Since the update, I have noticed on several occasions, that I'm watching Youtube on 4G. As in, the wifi dropped, and it switched to 4G.

One of the features, under Settings/Mobile – all the way at the bottom, is called "Wifi Assist". They described it as a feature to combat the problem people were experiencing where they would leave the house/office, and the iPhone would cling for dear life to the home/office Wifi – and then seemingly take long to pick up the mobile signal when the wifi was out of range. Wifi Assist is supposed to ensure the wifi is "dropped" far quicker, to allow for a quicker pick-up of the stronger 4G signal.

I have this switched OFF, but it still appears to be happening. As mentioned, in iOS 7/8, it would simply deliver slower speeds if the Wifi Signal was weak. It is now switching to 4G instead. The toggle doesn't appear to be stopping the switch. At least, that is my experience thereof.

No I just meant where exactly do you find the setting.

But if it's per app it's in the usual places I guess.

I was unable to switch on cellular data for a few apps. Tried everything under the sun. No joy. Perfect timing to restore my iPhone and start from scratch.

I still don't know why there isn't a restart feature, a bit dumb that it's not included.

How does one split the keyboard but not have it floating in the air?


Still a lot of bugs in this release.
