Should You Update to iOS 9?

Apple's annual update for the iPhone and iPad is now avilailble and the Apple Watch update should be out soon. IOS 9 brings some very nice features even to older devices. If your device was able to run IOS 8 then it can run IOS 9.

Overall we are pretty happy with IOS 9 on the iPad and recommend all users upgrade. So far we haven't seen any major issues with the iPhone update but it is a bit slower than we would like on older hardware. The update doesn't bring that many new features to the 4S, 5 or 5c and so we suggest you wait a bit as Apple typically optimizes their IOS releases over the first 2 months or so after a new release. Also one of our 4S models took over 4 hours to update! Other devices were under 30 minutes so don't give up on an install because you think it has hung. 

iPhone 4S users might notice their device is slower intitally but after some time things seem to pick up and the latest beta is a bit faster and finally as fast as with iOS 8.4.iPad Air and especially iPad Air 2 users and the newer iPad mini devices will enjoy the new features.

With all updates and upgrades OWT is here to help.  If you are uncomfortable with the upgrade or just want to use our fat Internet connection bring your system to OWT and we can do the update for you economically.
