iOS9 Beta - anyone else taken the jump?

  1. Saw that the public beta of iOS9 was available for down load.

    After a a bit of a wait I have managed to get it on both my iPad and iPhone.

    was wondering who else as done this and was it worth it?

    I am still unsure. Like the new keyboard and when you show the background apps looks good.
    Also like the split screen on the iPad.

    But still a little buggy with some apps. Facebook being one that gives me the most problems.

    Did the beta thing a fair few iOS versions ago, I won't do it again. Too many bugs with various things for everyday use. I'll wait for the general release.
     
  3. I have been running it today. Haven't come into a single bug yet actually.

    There dont seem seem to be that many differences. Think you have highlighted the main two I noticed; the keyboard font change and the way the background app screen is.

    I have always been on the betas and have to say they are very good for what they are, test releases and usually are pretty stable.

    On my iphone 6 so don't get the dual apps which seems quite fancy :smile:

    Was tempted to run it tonight bit think I'll wait.
     
  5. I would say go for it. There hasn't really been many issues for me. Although I am not one of those people that are attached to their phones like they are life support.

    I'm thinking about putting it on my iPad mini. I wouldn't risk putting it on my phone. I use that too much.
     
  7. I put it on my phone this morning. No bugs to report so far, works pretty well.
     
  8. It's on both my devices and my phone is never more then a few inches away from me and find the good bits make the problems worth it.
    Facebook seems to better today, but still can use the Nike+ app with Bluetooth

    I'll get it on the iPad tonight then, out of interest I've had the ema saying it's ready but how do I actually go about installing it?

  10. Have you downloaded the profile to the ipad ?
    If you have

    general --> software update
     
  11. My battery life seems to be so much better run this that it used to be.
    For that alone I would say its worth it.
     
  12. That's strange. Mine is shocking since the update
     
  13. Awesome battery here as well.

    what phone ?
     
  14. I've learned that the older models are shocking after new updates. My iPad 2 is so much slower after the iOS 8 so I won't bother with the 9. Worst bit is when ever I start typing into the Google search bar the keyboard always closes down on the first attempt. Annoying!
