Apple released iOS 9 to the public on 17th September, and it’s available for all users who have an iPhone 4s or later, iPad 2 or later, 5th-generation iPod touch or later or any iPad mini to download the latest update.

Upgrade to iOS 9 without Losing Any Data

Only no jailbreak phone users can update iOS 9 system via the following two ways. And for the jailbreak phone users, we will recommend the original "Recovery" approach to upgrade system. But jailbreak iPhone users can still use FonePaw iOS Transfer to backup iPhone first.
