Tried the 9.3.1 Beta - Really like the Night Shift feature. Shame they stole that from F.lux - I hope Apple release more APIs so that F.lux can be an app on the App Store. But it's not likely if they've made it a part of iOS already...

Anyone know if it gradually turns in colour as the sun sets (Like F.lux did), or if it's an instant change?

Apart from my old iphone I still use I’ve got to say I thought I’d get more out my Ipad Air I just got. Siri at this stage seems very poor. Yes I can ask it the weather and time but fails on so many ways. Simple things like re my last email is clunky at best. Considering I’m Scottish it actually picks up what I’m saying really well but just struggles to do anything of real value. A few friends bought me I-tunes as they knew I had got the Ipad air 2 and I’ve spent £2 of £50 and struggling to see anything worth buying on the app front. The £2 was for a flight tracker so I could follow a flight from Dubai in real time. I see no point buying films as id rather watch them off Blueray on the main TV in the house. I don’t even know if I buy music can I copy it to my mem stick in the Car or is it locked to apple ipods etc that I don’t use. The ipad is great just now as a companion to my PC sitting on my desk as it’s a 2004 build PC. But when I get a new rig I think it will be more from when I’m away. While appreciate what it can do I’m a wee bit regretting getting it over just adding the funds to the future PC build. Hope the new patch can add some life to siri and the rest.

I don't read articles about products I judge and give my own opinions. iOS just works and always has done.

Burying your head in the sand won't get you very far. I like to keep in touch with developments on both sides of the fence and I'll happily switch sides if one OS really starts to lag behind the other. Sorry but "just works" doesn't cut it any more.
