I love iOS 9. But frankly, iOS 9 should be really ioS 8.5 and what iOS 8 should have been.

I'm away and one phone has complete screwed up, iPad upgrade ran fine and bought an iPad mini4.
Even on the mini the OS can be laggy at times.

I've not hit any major issues yet other than a failed upgrade.
In terms of adoption rates, it's pointless Apple practically Rams it's down you throat.. They do better to just leave people on older releases.

People have said that about many versions, and we'd be on something like version 4.7 right now, for example. Ultimately it's just a number and really only matters if some devices get cut off, and in case of iOS 9 none of the previous ones did, so it basically doesn't matter.

I usually upgrade on the official release day, and I have to say this really is probably the worst one so far. App crashing, icloud was giving me issues, random scroll etc. And just to be fair, I was perfectly fine with all the previous major upgrade and I'm excluding lag and such which is mostly expected due to older hardware.

Thats a good plan because then you can downgrade back if you want for a few days. Gives you some options.
For the record iOS 9 is working great for me on iP6 . No complaints and liking the new features.

... It's more negative in forums and places of that nature--which are by their nature are places where people come for help and/or to complain, so accordingly they would be mostly full of more negative items than anything else, again, simply because of the nature of those places and what people often use them for.

While this used to definitely be the case... the paradigm has changed in recent years.

Use this thread as an example... for every complaint post, there are 10 posts from people stating how it works fine for them.

My roommate updated his 5 to iOS 9, I prefaced it with it being slow due to indexing and such and he still messaged me today how terrible it is after updating it 20 minutes ago, and actually believes the keyboard is smaller because the font changed and gives the appearance it is.

Once he plays around with it for a day he'll see how snappier it is and how more intuitive it operates and won't say chit.

Which means that it's not even close to being anything as bad as some are trying to make it out to be then.

That said, if you look at thread titles themselves there isn't much about praising anything, mostly complaints and questions, so quite a bit of that mentality is still there.
