Hello, I have updated my iPhone 6s to IOS 9.1, which claims to fix in issue with app store downloads and game center log in. Strange enough, I started having these issues after the update, I never faced it with IOS 9.0.2. Now I'm unable to use the app store for any download, and I can't access game center either. I'm even facing some wifi connectivity issues. so basically, IOS 9.1 gave me the issues that it was supposed to solve i have tried hard resets and restores, I have lost some valuable data and apps along the way, nothing worked. I'm using iTunes on my macbook to install apps for the time being. But any idea how to fix this ? never in 6 years I faced issues with iPhones. so I guess now apple have broken my virginity.
