Upgrading to the GM has always been possible as non-developers. I'm not going to say how it's done though.

You're on the iPhone 5, what did you expect?

A) Apple cited performance improvements for older devices as one of features of iOS 9. There was no GUI jerkiness before 9.
B) prove a point of ridiculous claims people around here have - "it's a beta!" And "GM disables debugging stuff and everything will be much faster"

The setup screen was seriously weird. A light-grey screen with "swipe to upgrade" barely readable. I thought my phone was bricked at first because I got some error message in iTunes at the same time.

They do it every time lately. Promise better performance, smoother experience etc Everyone rejoices, drags you through betas and no improvement and when the final GM comes out.... same old garbage.

7 through to 9, same old rubbish. I think it was 7.12 was the last time it was perfect.

Running 8.4.1 and very reluctant to switch up to the 9 GM.

Still can't turn on cellular data again for apps that had cellular data usage disabled. Reported that bug against beta 5 :(

Why does mine show Version Number 13A341? o_O On the screenshots here all you have is ...40?!... I used to have the PB but downloaded the GM from the Dev Center and installed it... Also: Now when I go to software update it shows me iOS 9 PB 3 is ready to download... WTF?!?

I'm getting exactly the same. iPhone 5S, was on PB, uninstalled profile, installed GM via Shift Update now getting iOS PB 3 as an OTA update and I'm on 13A341?!?! WTF?

The download speed is all over the place but should get better as more people seed. In the meantime, mine will be downloaded just in time for iOS 11....

Is that the torrent? I'm getting 4MB/s and should be done in couple of minutes.

Now that the GMmis downloaded I am having second thoughts about updating, as I can't get back to 8.3 if things go wonky.
