iOS9 has been met with a mixed reception from users

Apple users have taken to social media to show their fury at iOS9 software issues.

Many iPhone and iPad users have struggled to download the new operating system, which was released by Apple yesterday.

Users of older devices have struggled in particular to get the new software to work, but Apple has so far refused to comment on the problems.

Works fine for me so far.

[South40]

I have it on 3 devices and use it with no problems at all.

Update through iTunes and there is no issue. I’m amazed this wasn’t reported by Apple’s #1 FR advocate.

[donozark]

3 devices. No problem now that speed issue (on one iPad) has been resolved.

Here comes the FUD. Here comes the FUD. Order in the court room, here comes the FUD.

Trying to stream Brighthouse TV from IOS app. After getting VPN message it crashes. Looked at Brighthouse TV app and it is only written for 7 and 8. Other than that 6 plus is rockin’

[Hattie]

Just got it today from iTunes. So far no problem but I sure hope this is wrong.

[sheikdetailfeather]

I have a 6 Plus and could not be happier with it. Downloaded IOS 9 with no problem. I have not encountered any crashes or glitches.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Direct wireless update is the only issue. It happens during the upgrade so if you haven’t got it by know you won’t encounter that particular malady. I also read that it’s happening to beta testers the most.

iTunes is always best for major updates since you can do a backup beforehand.

I've been wondering who and when someone would pick up on this. I saw the report from Reuters on Thursday. . . and say it was people complaining about connection issues. iOS is NOT crashing on "downloading" the update to iOS 9. It merely says "Software Update Failed, An Error Occurred Installing iOS 9" because the servers were overloaded with multimillions of iOS users trying to download at the same time. Older iPhones have slower processors and take longer, which means they will have more of a tendency to time out. This was first reported by Reuters. No iPhones or iPads actually are "crashing" or locking up. Just the download stops. . . and they have to start over. The article points to FOUR, count'em, four complaining Tweets, without proof they actually come from iPhone users, out of millions of iPhone and iPad users. Reports say that by Thursday, 17% of all iOS users had already upgraded successfully. They were the same Tweets that were in the original Reuters report. SHEESH! — PING!

Apple iOS update FUD
Ping!

Between my girlfriend and I, we updated five iOS devices with zero problems: two iPads, two iPhone 6es, and an iPhone 4s provided by her employer. We’ve run into zero problems in the software and everything is copacetic in the new features.

[Johnny B.]

Just as in the other thread you started, I updated my iPhone 6 and the upgrade went flawlessly, and I am very happy with the upgrade.

And I still don't see a single Freeper mentioning a problem. It seems that the only people complaining about it here are people who don't even have Apple devices.

[Bobby_Taxpayer]

You only get the error if you don’t have enough memory. Those with 16gb phones loaded with apps will have a problem.

[VanDeKoik]

Well I guess then those Twitter people are liars and need to be shot? Jesus, you act like those damn things cannot possibly have this happen.

Instead of trying to run cover for Apple for some goofy PR reason, it is perfectly ok for iOS users to know that this could happen and to be on the look out.

[Loud Mime]

Same here. it works well.

[minnesota_bound]

So #3 & 5 showed their fury by chopping up their Apple devices into 3 pieces? : )

[cardinal4]

Works fine on all four of our devices..

[jacquej]

Download went flawlessly on my iPad and my little undersized(16) iPhone - no problems at all...

Upgraded them while they were plugged into the wall charger.

[Mark17]

IPhone 5 and IPhone 6, here, no problems.
