Installed on the iPhone 6 last night, and the iPad Air 2 this morning - no issues yet (although it always pisses me off that updates put bluetooth on).

Waiting for a few more reports about 5S performance before updating that one...

For those looking for the News app, I only found it on the 9.1 beta.

Had the update\open issue on the app store last night too but put it down to the hammering Apple servers would have been getting.

Regarding apple news, i don't think it's an app in itself. From the home screen, swipe right, in addition to the search function, there is now a news feed. Pretty cool I think

Updated my 5s last night. No problems at all. When I went in to the appstore I had about 20 notifications for apps to be updated for optimised use on IOS9, they all updated with no issues.

News is a separate app but we are not getting it in the UK yet. You can get it now by changing your region to US and restarting your phone but that means no £ on the keyboard (although there is a shortcut to get it) not really worth it just for a news app.

If you run beta news is on the home screen yes

Can't update apps any more.

All the apps that need updated change to "open" instead of "update" as soon as you open app store.

I was wondering about the news stuff as I have some articles when I swipe right from the homescreen, but can't seem to tweak what articles I see.

Are there any reccomendations for ad blocker extensions for Safari? I've seen Crystal and Blockr, but does anyone have experience with any?

Spotted a few quirks - not keyboard when you tap in the search box in the App Store being the main one. Select something else and it appears - just doesnt work in the first / main window!

We've had several calls from customers no longer able to connect to WiFi after upgrading.

A few e-mails going around at work from external sources stating the same ... I haven't looked into it much, but apparently some users are having issues on corporate wireless networks, but not at home.

Just updated my 5s, only thing I've noticed so far is that the keyboard looks easier to read.

There will be a separate News app available where you will have more control on your feeds. As mentioned earlier it only appeared for UK users in the 9.1 beta.
