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.

I always wait for a new IOS to be out for awhile before I download and install.
Glad I was spared. Ipad 4 and Iphone 5c
I was going to wait for 9.1 but got a little impatient. All good on iPad Air 2.
We received an email yesterday from our IT Dept instructing us not to perform this update....too many people having issues with their phones & iPads
I noticed that Safari seemed to have a lot more page crashes since the last iOS update, and was hoping this would fix it. Guess I will hold off updating for a while.
I’m two for two (iPhone6 and iPad) with no problems....for whatever that’s worth.
Use iTunes
It should be noted that Apple this early in the release cycle will roll out minor updates to iOS fairly frequently to add features and/or fix known bugs, so keep an eye out for those updates.
Glacial slow
I’ve been getting the notification on my iPad.
Glad to be forewarned.....
How can Apple not get this right? They control the hardware AND the software. That’s the good thing with Apple, yet they keep screwing up the updates.
Linux and Windows runs on so many different platforms I can see where they hit issues by not testing every combination of hardware possible. But come on Apple you are the most profitable company in the world—you can spend some of that money getting this crap right for your users.
iPad Air here. No problems.
In before Swordmaker joins to spin this as a positive for Apple!
Are you saying to update through iTunes?
It’s always a good idea to back up your device before any major upgrade and not to difficult to restore using iTunes if something goes wrong. I think typical Apple user is pretty trusting that Apple knows what they’re doing an don’t take as many precautions as they should.
IPhone 5 and iPad 4 updated fine.
Good time to do the download and create a brick.
They gave me a replacement i-pad last time. No charge.
Their stuff is crap, but it has the Al Gore stamp of Cool.
Absolutely! Your PC serves as your backup and caches's the new OS.
I upgraded my iPhone 6 the other day, and have had absolutely no problems. And, I've been very happy with the changes I've seen so far.
At one time, I was developing software that was used on over a 100,000 computers in businesses all over the country. Every time we released an update, a few computers would fail for one reason or another. It had nothing to do with the quality of the software. It was simply because in a group of computers that large, there were always at least a few that were right on the edge of failing for hardware-related reasons. Rebooting the computers would be enough to cause them to fail, regardless of the version of software, but since they never rebooted their computers except for when they were installing a new version of software, the two seemed to be related.
For those unfortunate few who had problems, the fact that 99.99% of the upgrades worked flawlessly never convinced them that the problem was something other than the new software. They were always certain that the software caused the problem, even when wee could prove that, for example, the power supply failed. They would claim that the new software was responsible for making the power supply fail.
Yeah... Well... That’s, like, just your opinion, man...
