Updating to iOS9

So, I did it … I did it and, I’m not sure it was the best thing to do.

I updated both my original iPad mini and my recently purchased iPhone 5c to the new iOS, which in and of itself was easy enough to do, no problems there. But, given the new iOS is supposed to offer a whole new set of options, save battery power and this and that … It doesn’t. At least, not for me.

My iPad is now sluggish, running awkwardly with a certain shall I call it, lag time? And while some apps open and run okay, others seem to be grumpy. It’s true I’ve had no crashes, like many, but I think that app makers are going to have to play catch up with a few updates, as there is obviously something amiss.

Meanwhile, I will just have to wait and see if things improve as I go through all the new menus and switch stuff off. But, word of caution, if you are thinking of upgrading an older device, may I suggest you wait awhile, unless, that is, you have a brand new shiny iPhone 6. Then go right ahead, you’ll get access to all the new nifty things older models don’t.

In quoting a friend, is it a case of iMarketing better than iEngineering?

Mumble, mutter …
