Summary:
iOS 9 suggests downloading Updates over Cellular on device lacking such an interface

Steps to Reproduce:
Have iPad set to automatically update apps.
Do not connect it to a power supply.
Wait until there are updates available. (May take a few days.)

Expected Results:
The updates should be done, even when iPad is not connected to a power source but set to automatically update and battery level is > 30%.

Actual Results:
iPad does not update any apps but prompts the user and asks if updates should be made over cellular connection. This happens when the device is actually connected to a WiFi network and even if said device does not even have a cellular interface it could use.

Regression:
Seen in iOS 9.0 public release, still present in iOS 9.1 beta.

Notes:
Not only is the message confusing for the users but also complete nonsense. Screenshot attached.
