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?

Have installed Crystal.

Pistonheads loads lightning fast now

updated an iPhone 6 and Ipad Air without issues so far. Surprised how small the update is compared to previous iOS builds.

Wifi/bluetooth is fine too.

Updated an iPad Air and an iPhone 6. Both took less than half an hour and went fine.

I'm using Adblock Browser to test out the ad blocking and it is working fine. Some sites that I'd almost given up on visiting due to the endless ads are now usable again. I never found Pistonheads to be too bad for ads but there's no doubt it is better with them blocked.

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.

Yep, you're right. it only seems to be affecting corporate WiFi...home wireless seems to be unaffected.
We found a fix which was to connect to a tethered AP, and then back to the corp wifi...this worked for a few hours but then stopped working again.

Unbelievable the difference it makes! So many fking adverts!

It was so sluggish before.

I've downloaded Crystal now to try it out.

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

I'm not too convinced by the lower case keyboard, it just looks wrong to me.

To be honest I prefer it, far easier to read

You can turn off the lower case keyboard if you don't want it.

Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Keyboard (scroll down for it), and toggle Show Lowercase Keys to off.

Anyone noticed if they close all their apps down by double tapping the home button and then open it again that they get a completely blank screen and have to close it and re-open it? seems to do it all the time for me on my iPhone 6.

Swipe right from the homescreen to find the latest news headlines.

Nope....

Is here..

What used to be the search section (to the left of the homescreen) is now


"siri suggestions"
Which is 4 recent contacts, 4 recent apps and then "news" which gives me headlines from various mainstream news outlets.

Anyone else getting thousands of unread emails showing in your all inboxes but none to read when you open the inbox

Installed on aging original iPad mini and true to their claim, appears to run no slower than iOS 8 did. A few areas feel a little nippier, but it's still prone to slow down due to general lack of processor grunt.

Just upgraded on iPhone 6 and only noticeable differences are the more annoying app carousel and the fact that I can no longer do a two finger tap to select a row of text. I use that a lot! Any ideas how to do it now?!

I'm still getting adverts??

I've installed crystal, enabled it as it instructs and even did a reset of web data and still seeing adverts.

Known bug, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

DO NOT UPGRADE FROM iOS7 TO 9 OVER THE AIR!!!

You'll brick your phone until you can get it into recovery mode connected to iTunes.

There's a major bug where the phone gets stuck at the Slide to Upgrade phase, it won't let you swipe to get back in. My daughter's boyfriend got caught out by this last night...

ETA if you have been caught out here's the fix

My 4S has had one little problem with iOS9.

Corporate security has been broken .... password requirements were alpha numeric, with at at least one non alpha/numeric character.

Password expired a few hours after installing iOS9. When it came to keying in the new password, it only displayed a numeric keypad. It still works, but I'm fairly sure that our corporate security guys will be rather, er, unhappy.
