iOS 9 Release Date: 10 Things You Need to Watch For

Long Download Times

Watch for long iOS 9 download times on the iOS 9 release date.

Apple's servers typically get slammed right when an update is released and we'll probably see some downloads take an hour or more on the iOS 9 release date. If you don't need the iOS 9 update right away, you'd be wise to check in on the morning of September 16th and see how download times are doing.

If problems do pop up like we expect, you'll want to hold off for a few hours and let Apple's servers settle down a little bit. They should be resolved before the end of the day.
