IOS 9 Release Date?

[tominbkk]

Anybody know? I know there is a beta you can get, but I'm waiting for the official release...

[JHolmesJr]

They say end september…along with the iPhone 6S…..more info on macrumors forum.

Apple have an "event" on Wednesday evening 9th Sptember, where they are expected to announce the launch date of several new products: iPhone 6S, 6S+, new iPad Mini, maybe new iPad Pro 12", and new Apple TV.

They will probably all launch all these new products sometime in October. iOS 9 will probably be released around the same time.

Can they make iOS any crappier, do you think?

[JHolmesJr]

For sure….it's a long way down.

but android is pretty rubbish too….

[maxtwo]

I think it will be 15 September

[phazey]

It's normally on new product launch, so 9th. Saying that, i've been running a few months, quite nice.

What in particular do you not like?

Rumours are saying that iOS 9 will be released to current beta testers after the product announcement on the 9th. Everyone else will get it a week later.

From my experience, it is a major update and well worth doing it.

[maxtwo]

The public beta has been available for quite some time.

Just watched the keynote and it's Wednesday, 16 September for iOS 9. Great event and will be preordering an iPhone 6S Plus this coming Saturday. Really, a mind-blowing phone.

Also looking forward to OS X El Capitan which should ship on 30 September.

I can confirm that beta testers were not offered iOS 9 final following the keynote, as was earlier rumoured would be the case.

Find it hard to get excited over any more apple stuff….the magic is gone.

Fair enough, but my preordered 6S Plus will be delivered on 25 September and looking forward to receiving another great upgrade from Apple along with iOS 9. I'm testing iOS 9.1 at present and quite certain it will rock on the 6S.

Where did you order your 6S Plus? I know it's not available yet on the Thailand store. I was thinking of HKG, but pre-orders for all 6S models have already been sold out and they are not taking orders. According to Fortune, both China and HKG sold out within 12 hours of opening. Just had a look at the US Apple Store and they are now saying 4 - 6 weeks. I guess demand was stronger than expected, and you got in early!

I ordered one on Saturday for delivery on the 25 in UK .And most were still available on Sunday.But you could order for in store pickup as well.On other times they have sold out in a couple of hours.

[bubba]

Checked the UK Apple Store just now, and they are stating 3 - 4 weeks delivery time. So you are lucky you got in early!

I was just watching CNBC and they are saying that Apple have already sold more than 10 million iPhone 6S already, beating last year's record. I am sort of surprised, with this being a mid-cycle update. Looks like it has sort of surprised Apple as well.

You're right. I got offered (and installed) IOS 9.1

[phazey]

Also pre-ordered a 6s plus Saturday - passed my employee ID across to get that guaranteed for the 25th as i know they are having display manufacturing problems and numbers will be lower

[maxtwo]

UK Apple Store still have some 6s just checked

[wooloomooloo]

Where did you order your 6S Plus?

Online in UK. Was up early in morning last Saturday for preorder at 0801h BST.

IOS 9.1 released 23 Sep.

[JHolmesJr]

[bubba]

It is 9.1. But 9.1 is beta and was released to developers.

[maxtwo]

The release on the 23 Sep was 9.0.1

[sabaijai]

Isnt it 9.0.1?

Yep, my bad.
