| Apple fans flooded social media to complain about the delay with iOS 9 |
Apple rolled out iOS 9 at around 6pm, this evening.
But thousands of iPhone, iPod and iPad owners were left unable to download and update their devices as Apple struggled to keep-up with huge demand.
Many angry Apple fans rushed to Twitter to slam the US firm, which recently announced a new larger-screen iPad Pro, refreshed Apple TV set-top box and two new iPhone models.
Those early adopters having issues downloading the latest version of iOS – the best solution is often patience.
It can take a couple of hours for Apple’s servers to catch-up with the monumental demand for the latest version of iOS.
In the meantime, some Twitter users are reporting having success with updating the old fashioned way – through iTunes.
Earlier today, Apple pulled the release of watchOS 2 some two-and-a-half hours before it was due to roll-out worldwide because of a critical bug.
The Cupertino company also had a number of issues following the release of iOS 8 last year.
Thousands of customers flocked to try and update their hardware as soon as the Apple software was released – causing delays to the software roll-out.
Virgin Media claims iOS 8 triggered a 10 per cent increase in peak download traffic – making it the busiest day ever on their network.
Apple dropped a number of features which were supposed to be included in its Health app hours before the release of iOS 8.
"We discovered a bug that prevents us from making HealthKit apps available on iOS today," the Cupertino firm explained in a statement at the time.
"We're working quickly to have the bug fixed in a software update and have HealthKit apps available by the end of the month."
Apple also had to pull the next update – the infamous 8.0.1 – which removed many iPhone user's ability to make phone-calls.
The Touch ID fingerprint sensor was also unable to work for those who updated their iPhone to the latest update over wifi.
Despite the troubled roll-out, more than half of all iOS devices were running iOS 8 within the first week of its launch.
