Good news for iOS users, as expected, Apple has finally released iOS 9 to the public. The latest iOS version is available via an OTA update, and is available to the latest iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) right now.
The update is over 1GB in size (1.2GB for my iPhone 6 Plus and 1.1GB for my iPad Air 2), so you’ll need to ensure you are connected to Wi-Fi and you have sufficient space in your device to perform the update. Fortunately, unlike iOS 8 update last year, iOS 9 takes up a smaller storage footprint to update. iOS 9 beta 2 only takes 1.3GB compared to 4.3GB on iOS app. On top of that, Apple will also allow users to temporarily remove apps if there is not enough space to complete the update. Once done, the apps will automatically be restored.
