Well not everyone ran the betas - I always understood it's a good idea to wait a few days until the battery gauge recalibrates. Maybe there were small changes in the final release? Also why I do a full iTunes update and leave OTA for point updates.
Got a tip for us?

Night shift:
As I was playing with night shift I started to wonder.
There are a number of posts mentioning screens being too warm or cool.
Or, warmer/cooler than another apple device being used.
I started to wonder if the true intention of night shift wasn't so much about health but more on the lines to lessen the strict quality control standards for the screens. Less testing, more throughput, lower costs, higher profits.

There are some screens that appear less bright than others, so the brightness controls that are available are likely to compensate for that and to increase profits.
Holy balls this update FINALLY FIXED THE IPHONE 6 PLUS LAG. ITS AS SMOOTH AS IOS 8. Spotlight search drop down finally no lag, same can be said about the the app switcher. This is how iOS 9 should've been for this device.
Wow, a positive thread about iOS!? 
A rare sight indeed...Someone take a screenshot!

I'm actually get a lot of stutter on my iPhone 6 for some reason, more so than in iOS 9.2
Coming from all the 9.3 betas, the final build of 9.3 is performing the best on my iPhone 6 Plus. I'm at 95% with 54 minutes of usage and 2.25 hours of standby time.
No real issues here, overall feels somewhat better, but basically at the very least nothing more or worse than in previous iOS 9 versions. Seems in a number of threads some people who had some issues are feeling things are better with iOS 9.3, while others don't see much of a change. Basically there will always be some with some issues to one degree or another, and some who are affected by some things more than others.
the battery life sucks, thats what Ive noticed as the only bad thing
So far (6S+) not bad however am finding a few issues.
It is slower. Feels slower than 9.2.1 when swiping and open/close.
Spotlight has some new issues (separate post)
Safari has some issues with links.
See what happens and I'll wait a day or two for it to settle down.
So far battery and connectivity seem the same.

noticed that also on my 6s coming from 9.2.1, did a settings reset to see if that helps
Except for lousy battery life 9.3 appears to be running fine. But then battery life has been horrible since OS9 anyway.
I did that as well. Did not help. I'm not sure a DFU with an iCloud restore would help at this point but worth a try I guess
Enjoy it while you can. At this very moment the gnomes at Apple are furiously shoveling as much lag and as screwing back in as many of the old bugs as possible into iOS X.
