iOS 9

So far it's a bit of a mixed bag for me, to be honest.

 

Hate:

 

- Apps that aren't yet updated e.g. Telegram

- Mail searching a bit broken, certainly worse than before

- Mail app search-related bugs

- Right hand side "dock" opens unintentionally, rather annoying (major hate)

- Shift key functionality seems backwards and a bit broken

- I'm getting random word selection while typing which causes me to over-type stuff (major hate)

- Swipe left and swipe right is laggy

- Pinch-to-close doesn't always register my pinch; it worked perfectly before

- Confusing use of saved passwords; presentation to user a bit odd

- Definitely getting lag across the interface; never had this before

 

Love:

 

- New wallpapers (heh!)

- Notes app redesign and ability to sketch; ruler function totally rad

- "Breadcrumb" top left corner when linking to another app

- Find a Friend app now has a widget

- Ability to search through saved passwords - a godsend for me

 

While side-by-side is undoubtedly cool, as is picture-in-picture, I have no real use for these.

 

While not really an iOS 9 thing but more coincidental release, I still don't have the cloud storage options I need. I have, but don't need, 200GB. I would really like 100GB as an option, too.

 

Currently I'm storing 59GB in the cloud so paying for 200GB per month is an utter waste. I've a good mind to remove all my videos from the cloud and downgrade to the 50GB option.

iOS 9.0.1 has been released to address bugs. And iOS 9.1 beta 2 has been released also. I'm still waiting for the OTA of 9.1b2 to get to me. :/

Downloaded 9.0.1. So far no issues. People are reporting good battery life.

I downloaded it and the phone works well. However, it looks like carrier aggregation got turned off. I was pulling about 40-50mbps down on carrier aggregation towers and suddenly it's back down to 6-7mbps.

You phone doesn't support CA

I have an iPhone 6+, it definitely was compatible.

Nope, not on Sprint

 

the iPhone 6+ isn't CA compatible. CA was introduced with the 6s and 6s plus which releases tomorrow.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
