iOS 9

I think I still have an 03 database, most airports don't move and the sectionals gave me a quick double check. No airframe electrics or foreflight

That sounds close to the terminal release that the 90 could load ... I think it was 2004 iirc...

edit: close but not quite right

post here http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/airline-pilot-knowledge-base/29880-garmin-gps-90-a.html reveals one person's opinion from 2008 - "The last update was 0306 database cycle (6/12/03 - 7/10/03) and you can still download it from the garmin website."

I think I'll wait for iOS 9.2. :yes: Seems like there's a pretty major problem that can lock up your iThingy. I waited for 8.x for Apple to fix the remote GPS linkup so I'll wait again until the fix to iOS 9 is released and then probably wait some more. :wink2:

9.1 is almost ready for beta release.

Good discussion about Aviating and iOS 9 by Sporty's. Some aviation app developers do not recommend updating yet.

After all the problems the wife showed me she's having with the new iPOS 9.0, I am definitely waiting for the fixes in 9.1. Let's hope there are some.

Interesting. I upgraded my iPhone and iPad and haven't had a problem.
 
9.1 was issued and I downloaded it even though I've had ZERO issues with my own iPhone or two iPads using 9. In fact with about a dozen phones in my company and wife's phone and iPads the ONLY issues I've heard about 9 are on internet pilot forums and most of those are reports by guys that don't use iPhones and iPads. Go figure!
 
Keep in mind if you're worried about upgrading that this is the new Tim Cook Apple. Calling this thing a major release number is a joke. 8.99999 + additional bloat to make things slower, is more like what it really is. Yawn.

I suggested the same thing and was accused of being a Luddite. :D

Personally I think they would be better off just allowing folks to go back to iOS 7. It did everything I needed and didn't suck my system resources like al the other "upgrades".

Apple says iOS 9 will had an extra hour of battery to most iPhones. Certainly battery management is an area where iOS shines. And I say that as an Android programmer.
 
Updated yesterday. Fore flight loads even slower than before. When browsing in Safari and listening to my music, it now skips like a scratched CD. That's it so far. Only used it about an hour since updating.

Wish I had 7.0 back at this point. Never had any problems. Ever since, updated always **** something up.

I didn't know about the two finger movement until Mark mentioned it. Then I had to fool around with my two fingers to see how it worked. I think I am going to like it.

Why didn't they enable this on the iPhone running iOS9, too? Just the iPad? :dunno:
 
Wife made a silly mistake of tapping on the update on her iPad. Oh boy is she mad. She reports very noticeable performance decrease, useless hipster app switching (it worked fine before, there was no need to fudge it up), more keyboard problems etc.

A good friend with an iPhone reports same drastic drop in performance. He googled a lot and found some new options to disable a lot of the new injected bloat but still sees shorter battery life and performance hits.

I am still patiently waiting for 9.1 where they hopefully fix a lot of these new bugs but frankly, I too pray for the return of iOS7. :(
 
I have read that immediately after the update the device might be slow because it is "indexing" (I think that is the term they used). When it is finished the speed should be back to normal.

They seem to be accomplishing that in the most boring possible way: Turn off background updates of things when the battery falls below a certain level.

Interestingly they weren't smart enough to turn those things back on when you plug the phone into power. Only once the battery comes back up.

It's hard coded to the battery level, which... Is pretty dumb from a user interface standpoint.

I probably want to know the things I missed while I was low on battery, once I'm plugged into a power source. And the appropriate time to do that, would be when I plug back in, not 20 minutes later when the battery finally charges back up.

You can really see the Apple UX-focus disappearing before your eyes, under Cook.

It's not like plugging into a power source triggering an event is without precedent in iOS. Your phone will happily start an iTunes WiFi sync the moment you plugged it in, if it finds your iTunes machine on the same LAN subnet via their discovery mechanisms.

This type of thing usually is the result of "ticket based feature changes/big fixes". I'm sure there's a nice ticket somewhere inside Apple marked "completed" that says literally, "stop background updates to save battery when battery falls below 20%" and some software engineer who's quite proud of "accomplishing" it... without any thought to how he or she would do it if they were turning the background sync limiter on and off to save their own battery... because if you're doing it by hand, you'd turn it off when you plugged in, and check the battery level again when you unplugged.
 
The Twitterverse is alive with thousands of people upset that iOS9's "WiFi Assist" feature, which is ON by default, consumes cellular data when you think you're on WiFi only. Those on limited data accounts should consider turning that feature OFF to restore the traditional behavior.
