Did you have to restore from icloud after the update?

So far the GM has been the smoothest on my 6th gen iPod touch, my 5S isn't too far behind. My 5th gen iPod touch has been ok but feels the same performance wise as iOS 8.

You don't have to.

What's a solution for the Icloud backup?

It's working for me with the GM version. The last backup was at 12:40 PM this afternoon and I am finishing up a manual backup now.

Hey Siri has to be trained in settings now to turn it on. It learns your voice so only your voice activates it.

Brilliant! So no more false activations when the iMore podcast crew says "Hey Siri!" (Looking at you, Serenity!)

iCloud backup worked fine for me on 9.1

How stable is the GM version? I want to put it in my iPhone 6 plus but I'm still a bit nervous of it

It is what it is. It's the version that's going on the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus devices prior to release.

It's stable, and it'll be officially released next week. The GM version will be the same as the official released version so you can install it now under the GM label or later under the official iOS 9 moniker.

Installed 9.1 and running stable so far. Also fixed iCloud back but had to keep manually pressing "Backup" till it finally took.

So after installing the gm build my App Store has not been loading keeps saying that it can't connect to the store everything else has been great I even tried a hard reboot that did not work
Maybe it's because I did not restore from backup? I did a encrypted backup prior with iTunes but after installing the gm build I noticed all my stuff was still on the phone so I decided not to restore was that a bad move?

Scratch that guess after so many reboots it's good now other then that I think the update is good I'm pretty brutal when it comes to using up the battery with YouTube streaming music and what not and my battery has been good

Downloading right now, will install on a 4S that has never seen a beta profile nor a beta in a couple of minutes.

I have an iPhone 6 Plus running the iOS 9 GM and it seems that enabling "Hey Siri" causes a huge drain on the battery. I started the day at 100% and within two hours was down to 45%. Normally I go the whole day and have that much left. I turned off the "Hey Siri" function and charged back up to 100% and an hour later it is still at 100%.

The GM for Apple Watch is really bad for battery too. Started at 100% and 5.5 hours later down to 18%. Previously was able to go the whole day and still be around 50%.

The GM is solid, minus the fact that i can't backup to the cloud or transfer purchases to iTunes

Actually, my experience is different... my Watch used to have about 45-50% battery at the end of the day... the last 2 days it's been more like 55-60% with the same usage during the day.

Been using the 4S for a couple of hours now and still no "update" to beta 3.

As we speak I'm restoring my 5S's backup onto my 4S and will start using it as my daily driver for a couple of days (or weeks) now to figure out whether a) a 3.5" screen is still usable in the age of the 5.5" mid-range phone (which I'm unsure of), b) a four year old phone is still fast enough for what I need (which I highly suspect), and c) the battery still holds enough charge to get me through the day (which I highly doubt). After all I do plan to take this phone on my year-long trip and need to figure out where exactly on the dream-realism continuum that thought resides or whether I should rather get a cheap Android phone for that year.

So far, iOS 9 has been a blast on the 4S. Much faster than iOS 8 although I must admit I haven't been using it much.

Installed IOS 9GM on iphone 6 plus. Used it for 20 hrs and then made 1 phone call this morning after that can't use the touch screen. All the button was working fine except the touch screen, had to reset the phone with holding the power button and home button at the same time. Decided to go back to 8.4.1. Anybody have the same issue?

Just install 9.1 public beta
