I'm still having the frustrating offline music only issue that appeared with 8
I only want to see music that is physically on the phone, not all my purchases or Apple music. I use it purely as an old fashioned iPod.
So I've set it to show offline music only, and set it to not use mobile data for music. However when I list music then everything I've ever bought is there, including the stuff I put on, there's no distinction between the two. If I turn off wi-fi or log out then the extra tracks disappear (although it then keeps pestering to log back in).
Whilst I appreciate the 'always on / always connected' mantra might appeal to some people and Apple have obviously put in a lot of effort to make it, it's not what I want, I like to copy a bunch of albums onto the phone to enjoy that week, or test the mix of music I'm currently working on. I don't want to have to sift through a huge list of artists to get to the thing I want, nor do I want to risk accidentally using mobile data whilst playing music. I upgraded to the iOS 9.1 beta where this problem still occurs, I've sent a bug report to Apple, hopefully they'll nail it.
It's not really a bug though is it so I doubt Apple will do much with it. I only want to see music that is physically on the phone, not all my purchases or Apple music. I use it purely as an old fashioned iPod.

Haven't read the whole thread; have they sorted out the bulk email delete issue? I have literally thousands of emails on my phone which I'd like to get rid of but nothing works, not the web suggestions of "hold this, press this, stand on your left big toe then spin the phone 3 times anticlockwise", nor even completely deleting the email account and re-creating it. Stupid, and very annoying.

5S
Battery issues - draining away in no time, and including seeming to bv$$3r up charging from my Mophie Helium.
Anyway, it was something in Location Services - I have been trying over three days to pinpoint the problem, but not much wiser:
9:30 the battery got down below 20%....down to 10% in no time.... switched off about eight Location Services.... still showing 10% two and a half hours later. ..... but suddenly died .... still showing 10% !!! Plugged it in and it's now showing 25% immediately from start up - go figure!
My wife's phone used to do that, there's a recall that I think is still in place -Battery issues - draining away in no time, and including seeming to bv$$3r up charging from my Mophie Helium.

I had it on my iPad Air 2 for a few days. I wasn't very impressed, didn't seem like much of an upgrade and it was quite slow.
However it was wrecked by a leaking bottle of water on Sunday and I think it's unrepariable. I fancy a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 now!

Just installed it, looks like the phone app now has a database of UK STD codes, any number not in your contacts now shows the town the call originated from.
Welcome to 2013! 
Android has been doing that for quite a while...
As for IOS 9, I've put it on my work iPad Air, but I can't actually see anything new other than the split screen, which again is just Apple playing catch-up to about 2010??? Surely nothing worthy of being called a major release?

But that's the norm isn't it? I can't think of many things iOS did before Android? Android has been doing that for quite a while...

Anyway, even if it is iOS playing catch up the additions of lower case keyboard, split screen and ad blocker on Safari are all welcome ones in my view. I'm not sure it's gone all the way to persuade me to stay with the iPad next time I go tablet shopping but it narrows the gap between the operating systems yet further.
Does anyone else share their apple accounts on two iphones? If so, do you notice a merging of calls received/missed/made on both devices? e.g. I miss a call and its shown as missed on my phone and my wife's phone. You could turn it off by switching off handoff on ios 8 but its seems to be back

I'm really effed off with this IOS9 update. Perfectly good battery life on my iPhone 6 has been reduced massively (lucky if i get through the day now). I wish I'd not updated and stayed on 8. Can you roll back to previous version - I assume not :-(
My battery life has improved although that is on a 5s. How long have you had it installed as it normally takes a few days to sort itself out. It's been said many times on here though don't update unless you need to until all the bugs are found.

I see the 'deleting artwork' bug is still present from ios8.
Artwork is shown in itunes and on the dekstop.
But copy that track onto my ipod and it's deleted.
Another bug in ios9 is when playing music on random and say, it's the 50th track, then you delete it, ios9 doesn't continue onto the 51st track...it goes back to the first!!
Ios 9 really is a turd, just like 8 before it and 7 before that, etc etc.
