After 24 hours of use I find that I am neither impressed nor annoyed by anything much (except being able to use Stanza to my satisfaction, again, though on the Mini, some of the settings simply arent there. The app doesnt crash, you just can't access the same settings that are available on iphone. This may always have been the case, I never used it for more than checking that it works with new firmwares)

Yep not much to get excited about in iOS 9 versus iOS 8, but at least getting the update will keep the constant reminders to update from annoying me. Not sure if they still do that, but in the past those constant reminders were a great annoyance.
A bit disappointed that the split screen feature won't work on my iPad Mini 2 as it requires the iPad Mini 4. Also still very annoyed that they have never placed a fourth roll of keys on the keyboard for numbers. Having to constantly toggle back and forth between number screen and letter screen is so 1990s! Especially annoying and a PITA when entering passwords which nearly always contain both letters and numbers.
ETA: Also annoyed that they still have some stupid wallpaper algorithm that seems to only work with Apple's official wallpapers. If you rotate the iPhone/iPad from portrait to landscape with one of the iOS wallpapers installed, the wallpaper stays the same size. But if you use a custom wallpaper then rotating into landscape causes the wallpaper image to get zoomed. Really distracting, really unnecessary, and really aggrevating that they have to exercise so much control even over the GD wallpapers! Must be the ghost of Steve Jobs giving us the middle finger.
