Man of Honour
Can't get to grip with the new multi-tasking on the phone. Constantly close the wrong app as it's from the left now. The amount of times I've closed my podcast app and music app by mistake, driving me crazy!
Send them feedback about it http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
As a leftie it doesn't bother me, I imagine it would be a right pain being right handed though. Didn't even think about it till I read your post.
I find it much harder to activate the swipe up animation in the app switcher due to the momentum and pull that varies depending on the position of the app

IOS9 can go to hell!
Director at work stupidly decided to upgrade his iPhone 5s to 9... bricked it.
No local backups, iCloud only, can restore IOS9 no problem but as soon as you restore the backup it bricks it again straight away.
And cant downgrade to 8.4.1 as it says "This device is not eligible for the requested build" and none of the 'fixes' to sort that work either... thanks Apple.

Scrap that downloading the IPSW file from this site worked: https://ipsw.me/8.4.1
Are those IPSW downgrades particularly reliable? I mean, what would the chances be of a successful downgrade from 8.4x to 7.1 as the 5s had when I got it?
Soldato
You can only downgrade 'legally' to what apple still sign as verified, and on the 5s thats is only back to 8.4.1.
I had a feeling that's what it meant.

Already upgraded my 6 to iOS 9 without issue, but wifey has a 5S and what you said earlier fills me with fear ... she updated her iPad Air last night, but hasn't done her phone yet. Are you saying that IPSW file enabled you to un-brick your director's phone?
Given that her phone survived being dropped down the khazi last weekend - 36 hours in a bowl of rice sorted that one out - it would be ironic, to say the least, if a software update were to screw it up ...

Looks like I'll leave my 5s where it is then!

Yeah definitely don't touch the 5 with iOS9, think I'm gonna hold of doing it on my 6 also, never trust the first version from apple!
Yep the IPSW file from the link above allowed me to restore the phone to 8.4.1 and also restore the backup with no problem.
I tried IPSW files from multiple other websites all of which said 'not eligible'.
Worth noting if you have find my iphone turned on you will need to put it into safe/recovery mode before restoring.

IOS9.1 beta on my 5S. No issues here after a week of testing phone

Because it doesn't matter where you download it. When you install it, the integrity is checked with Apple so if it's any different from an official file, it simply won't install.

My iPhone 5 16Gb is working just fine on iOS 9, I wouldn't necessarily tell people to stay away from it! Its working pretty nicely actually.
I hadn't noticed, now I have
sorryIm used to everything being instant and now its just not. Calendar, keyboard on messages and websites just seems like theres a very slight delay and opening contacts takes a second to open.
On the plus side its quicker to close apps down now
I would love to got back to beautiful ios6

Finding we are having to occasionally tap things several times to get them to work/open/activate etc.
Might be a force touch bug, where it thinks your touch is part of force touch, even though you don't have a force touch device.
