    A restart fixed AirPlay.

    Updated my 5s and iPad Air without issue.

    Now to see what's under the hood as I haven't really paid much attention to the release.

    Keyboard small letters look weird!

    With a content blocker I can actually browse certain news sites again. This is going to be an essential install for people with limited data plans.

    Sites seem to load much much faster.

    so that's a no then

    It's a major yes from me. I can't stand miles let alone the 12 hour clock. I'd rather wait for Apple news to be released properly than change region.

    Much smoother scroll in Safari on iPad. I'm also liking the new keyboard. At last they seem to have got it right...

    No news app for Ireland?

    Change your region to UK in settings, restart the phone. You'll have the News app. UK regional settings are grand, you still get euro symbol on keyboard and the date and time formats are fine too. Worth doing just to see if you like the news app.

    Change your region to UK in settings, restart the phone. You'll have the News app. Then change region back to Ireland without restart and you'll be back to correct units, etc., but the News app will still show up. Worked for me.

    I presume that if you restart the phone again news app will be gone and you'll have to redo the hack?

    I changed my original post, sorry. If you change it back to Ireland you will loose the news app. So you have to either live with UK regional settings, which are fine tbh, or go without the news app for now.

    Any recommendations?

    News app is okay, but tbh the likes of feedly does the same thing better.

    Mine was equally as slow but my iPad flew through over wifi so I've cancelled the 5s download through iTunes and doing that one over wifi now too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,017 ✭✭✭✭adox


    My 5s took 10-15 minutes to download and install over wifi.

    Was recommended here when it was in beta. Some difference in pages loading. Particularly this site!

    Ah yes big difference on iPhone 6.

    Kept tapping on the massive ads on this site over the last few weeks.

    You'll get the USA date methods and miles instead of kilometres.

    Or change the region to the UK (gasp)!!! And you'll get the news app. I'd prefer the Irish news app when it comes along but the UK version is good too.

    Anyone else getting the error message "There was a problem download the software for the iPhone. The network connection could not be established" in iTunes (even though internet seems to be fine). Also can't find the update itself on the iPhone (just keeps checking for updates).

    I currently have 8.3 jailbroken.

    Crystal is my choice. Developer is from the United Kingdom though. Not that it matters.

    Touch isn't as sensitive as it was on iOS 8.

    Anyone else's wifi dropping? I think it may just be my phone needs to be sent in but want to be sure. If I move even 20 feet from the router it drops.

    I've been trying to download a couple of app updates on iTunes and have been getting that message. iTunes is also says that the version I'm on (12.2.2) is the latest version and not finding version 13. I haven't even bothered trying to connect my phone and update it to iOS 9, the servers are obviously overloaded at the moment

    Can't find this on the App Store? Is it gone?

    I started downloading update at 7pm and it still says 15 hours on Wifi.

    Must be something wrong there

    Same here. Probably best just to leave it until tomorrow.
