iOS 9 OTA software update hits some early snags

Today is iOS 9 update day but many users who fired up their Software Update function on their iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches were faced with an inability to update their devices due to a 'Software Update Failed error - Error Occurred downloading iOS 9' error. This seems to be an issue with OTA (Over the Air) updates.

I tried numerous times to enable the Software Update on my iPhone 6 Plus but couldn't resolve the issue until I plugged in my device to my MacBook which seemed to be working, albeit slowly as it is backing everything up. Pressing software update on my iPhone 5c doesn't even bring up the option. Stay tuned for developments.

iOS 9 is coming for free to iPhones and iPads tomorrow. Focusing on stability, user experience as well as bringing increased security features and improved multitasking and split-screen functionality for the iPad Air 2 (and upcoming iPad Pro). Updaters will welcome a number of new things about iOS 9. For one thing, it is a smaller download and should take up less time (and valuable storage space).

iOS 9 requires 1.3GB of free storage (instead of the 4.58GB of the previous version). iOS 9 is also supposed increase battery life on most devices (Apple promised 1 hour during WWDC). Having tested the public beta on an iPhone 5, iOS 9 does seem smoother and a tad bit faster. The new OS is expected to roll out tomorrow through the Software Update setting on their iOS devices.
