Does the Gold master and final version of iOS improve a lot to the phone

Highly doubt public beta users will get the GM as an OTA especially if developers don't.

Yes, it's still in beta. The GM is normally the build that is released to the public a few weeks later, unless there's a bug that needs to be desperately patched before doing that.

Historically the first builds still have a few niggling bugs that only appear when it's distributed to so many users. Of course these are eventually patched and the x.2 builds onwards are typically a little more stable and bug-free.

iOS 8 performance (and all the versions before that) also weren't anywhere close to outstanding or bug-free when first released. Now that it's on 8.4.1 it's a lot better, but just remember this is after a year of Apple patching it, so don't expect a similar rock-solid stability from the first build of iOS 9.

I'm just hoping this year is different. I want the gm stable with a nice leap in performance on the first release(9.0). It seems like this year will be different.

Seeing how terrible beta 5 is on 64 bit devices, I wouldn't hold my breath

That's a sweepingly overbroad generalization.

To be quite honest, I'm getting sick of seeing posts like this. Just because you, or even a few dozen people have had issues does not mean the vast majority of people are experiencing issues. My iPhone 6 is flawless, I don't have battery drain, no crashes, no overheating, nothing. My device is 10x better on PB over iOS 8.

No one knows how Apple is going to release the GM. It's the first time there has been a Public Beta of a .0 iOS release.

Maybe only developers will get it or maybe it's going to be OTA for everyone. Maybe they are going to put a link on the Apple Beta Software Program website.

Who knows.

I thought I remembered the Public Beta of iOS 8.4 going OTA to GM

I know that bugs would be fixed

Not all of them, but the ones that remain are "gold plated"

They don't call it the "Gold Master" for nothing...

Must have a faulty device. No issues on my iPhone 6

Of course it will. Because in every beta theres a huge debugging log, which will be deactivated in GM.
We should see better performances and longer battery life then.

/edit:

I think I get it

It's a myth dating back to OS X 10.0, when people were telling themselves the pre-releases were slow because of "debug code" because they couldn't believe Apple would actually ship an OS they perceived as extremely sluggish. They were wrong.

What makes you say the iOS 9 betas have "a huge debugging log"?

I've never worked on a OS, but every framework I know, regardless which programming language, has it's own debug and production modes.

In production mode, many things are cached and the logging level is higher, which means it only logs errors, instead of debug/info stuff.

Debug/Info stuff is needed when using the "Feedback" application, as it is submitting your log, when you are giving feedback.

And I don't see any reason why it should be different, when developers give us access to an iOS beta.
