In what appears to be a repeat of last year's problems, some customers say the update to Apple's mobile software, iOS 9, has caused apps to shut down

Apple's new iPhone and iPad software comes with better battery life and a new Siri interface. It might also come with bugs.

Apple customers are reporting on Twitter and other online forums that apps on their mobile devices are crashing when they update the operating system to iOS 9. iOS 9, the latest version of Apple's software for iPhones and iPads, rolled out to consumers on Wednesday.

"iOS 9 was cool, but now all my apps keep crashing so now I hate it," tweeted Isaac Miltimore.

The problems bring back memories of Apple's iOS 8 update last year, which caused certain devices to experience buggy Wi-Fi and decreased battery life. Subsequent updates to fix the software ended up creating their own problems. These problems aren't rare -- Apple pulled its WatchOS update for its Watch because a bug, and issues often arise with the introduction of new software.

"The big picture here though is that this is the standard environment for a new operating system launch," said Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. "There are always going to be a spectrum of bugs but they should be solved within a few days."
