Public beta testers, some developers and users who like to test new Apple firmware versions and installed the iOS 9 beta keep getting false iOS 9 update alerts. Apple is officially rolling out its new mobile firmware version this week. However the upgrade is not available to public yet while a number of users get the alert that is false.
iOS 9 update free links will be published on September 16th. This is a major ‘fruit’ firmware upgrade from Apple. The platform was tested in the summer and last week the last iOS 9 GM version was seeded to make sure all the bugs are fixed and problems are solved.
It might be annoying to get iOS 9 update alert messages 2015 on your iPhone or iPad, especially since the problem affects every time you unlock iPhone 6, 5s, 6 Plus or other model that is still running the beta version of this operating system.
The ‘new iOS 9 update is now available’ message sounds reassuring however there is no iOS 9 presented to public yet. You might want to either update to iOS 9 Golden Master version to fix this bug or downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 and wait for the public introduction of the final firmware version that will be followed by iPhone 6s release on September 25.
We don’t know what causes the false message to appear. But we know another method that kills the bug. Since Apple already presented the next iOS 9.1 beta 1 you might want to download this version and continue testing the company’s betas without the false ‘update’ alerts.
So there are three main solutions you could go with: upgrade to iOS 9.1 beta, downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 public version or wait for the official iOS 9 release this week. Some users also believe that the problem is gone after you force restart the iPhone or iPad. Just click on your Power and Home buttons at the sametime and wait for the issue to disappear.
