even though my carrier settings remain the same as 9.0 for T-Mobile (21.1), I noticed immediately my reception improved significantly. I used to have 1 bar of 4G at office. now I have full five bars of LTE.

something must've been updated on the OS side. anyone else notice cell reception improvements?

Cool! :) No sure if it's just me, it seems a little faster! iPhone 6 Plus.

Do you have any issues related to your T-Mobile or iMessage number changing?

Call me crazy, but my reception went from 1 dot ATT LTE to two dots after the update. I'll keep an eye on it over the next few hours but it seems to be improved.
