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.

iPhone 6s Box Image Leak Hints to Apple Motion Wallpaper Options

We’ll soon see real iPhone 6s unboxing videos and photos. The Cupertino-based company, Apple, is officially presenting its next gen smartphones this week. Millions of eyes can’t wait to see what these handsets are like and what major changes Apple brings to both iOS 9, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and other ‘fruit’ products.

There is iPhone 6s box photo leaked on the web ahead of the public iPhone 6s launch. No devices are yet shipped to masses. Users will be able to pre-order their new generation ‘s’ model later this or next week and thus seeing what is believed to be the gadget’s box is pretty cool.

Of course, this could be only a box that has nothing to do with the iPhone 6s still there are chances that this is exactly the design we’ll see later this year. By the way, the box that appeared online suggests Apple Motion wallpaper feature that is present on the company’s Watch wearables is coming to the iOS 9 iPhones.

The picture of the box for iPhone 6s was published by one German site. It points to ‘Motion’ wallpapers that were first introduced at the iWatch premiere. Seeing amazing butterflies flapping their wings on your background or incredible animations of flowers and other things is always beautiful and inspiring. This is something the new iPhone 6s customers could get.

Will the upcoming iPhone 6s unboxing show us amazing Motion backgrounds? The image of the front of the box shows the fish that was swimming earlier on the Apple Watch and this is why experts started to think Apple is bringing this wonderful option from wearables to smartphones.

By the way, the new iPhone 6s lineup is also getting Force Touch feature [it is also available on the Watch], better processor and camera, more RAM and other interesting specs.

iOS Browsers with Adblock Get New iPhone Extension

Are you searching for iOS browsers with adblock option? Just before Apple officially introduced the new iOS 9 firmware version and iPhone 6s lineup to users [this system will get the adblock option], a team of developers launched the free iOS 8 adblock browser extension which you can give a try before you are able to upgrade to the latest Apple mobile operating system.

The new browser app supports iOS devices. It was available as the beta option for a couple of months before devs decided it was time for it to land on the iOS platform. Since the application can be downloaded and used for free, you can try to see how to block ads on iPhone with the help of Adblock Browser.

While Apple’s solution will make its popular Safari browser ad-free, the devs who stand behind Adblock Plus presented their own browser that is believed to consume less battery life and save iPhone and iPad data [when T-Mobile data throttle is announced it is better to ‘eat’ less data].

You know that all the ads present on the webpages take time to upload, need a ‘bite’ of your data plan and a bit of battery life. Once the ads are blocked you can enjoy texts and information you are aimed to get.

This is a nice tool to use when you really need to preserve your battery life while searching the web. The browser created by Adblock team looks simple. It is only designed to make internet surfing on the iPhone or other Apple gadget ad-free and it is doing what it is meant for.

Some users note that the free browser crashes once in a while. If this is the issue you experience as well, you just have a couple of more days to wait for Apple to unveil its new iOS 9 firmware with Safari adblock feature.

In case you are still interested in iOS 8 adblock browser extension Adblock Browser you can download it for free from iTunes.

iOS 9 WiFi Calling Brings Support for AT&T iPhone 6 / 6S

If you are lucky to live in the area where AT&T is testing WiFi Calling you might be able to actually turn it on right now even within the beta iOS 9 version.
