For those claiming 9.0 GM is not laggy...

I was so pissed about this whole "it lags, no it does not" that I deleted my whole itunes media, i formated my computer. Basically I started from scratch and I tried both 9.0 and 9.1, conclusion, it s laggy on 5s.

Don't worry… it's laggy on the iPhone 6 as well. It's not your phone… it's the OS. Your phone and computer are fine.
 
Was it too much to ask for a new OS that is better than the previous version? I mean, they even advertised how it was going to perform better because of Metal and I'm just not seeing that.

It's weird though. SOMETIMES, I'll open an app and it will be just like 8.4.1, but most of the time it's not.

Especially when opening an app that has been completely quit. The zooming animation skips almost the entire animation and the app kind of jolts open. I sort of remember a similar situation when Apple first introduced HDR into the camera app on the iPhone 4. I remember that OS update (and for the rest of iOS 4), the animations were screwed up (especially if your app was closed in landscape mode and then opened in portrait)

Here's a video:

Watch at 1:39 when he opens the iTunes Store. It jolts open instead of the regular smooth animation. That's what is happening on a lot of iOS 9's animations

It's quite possible that Apple could release 9.0.1 tomorrow.

I doubt it. Why would they release 9.0.1 with performance fixes before releasing 9.1? In case you haven't tried it yet, 9.1 performs the same as 9.0 (for me).

If you think 9.0 isn't laggy, then maybe you've used it for too long and forgot what the OS is supposed to run like.

If you think iOS 9.0 GM is perfectly smooth, then I invite you to downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 and feel the difference for yourself. It's like night and day different.

Don't even tell me "Your iPhone is indexing... it takes a few days to be smooth again"... Yeah, more like "It takes a few days for you to get used to how slow it goes".

All in all, iOS 9 is a DOWNGRADE from 8.4.1 and this is CRAP. Get your crap together Apple because this is truly frustrating. Also, don't tell me that I need to let it index because I updated on top of a fresh iOS 8.4.1 install (so no funny business happening) so there's not much to index here.

I'm even running this on Apple's latest iPhone (iPhone 6).

Had done, yesterday. Immediately wanted back on GM but can't be bothered since official release is tomorrow. On my 6 Plus, iPad Mini 3 and iPhone 5s it's smooth as butter. The only difference I've spotted between the two iOS versions on my devices is that iOS 9 GM a higher geek bench score, better battery life and absolutely no stutter or lag whatsoever.

Edit: Naturally I am sure it matters how one uses their device as to if they get stutter or lag, but you making a blanket claim that if we don't experience lag "we've just all used it too long" is absolutely laughable nonsense. Some people legitimately have no problem with/don't experience it.

Anyway you can shoot a 60fps video showing us your iphone 5s? I would be really grateful.:oops:

Yeah, I wanna see this no lag you speak of. I've tried everything from fresh install to upgrade from fresh install of 8.4.1. Nothing I do seems to bring 9.0 smoothness back to 8.4.1 levels.

Compare those levels with the ones in 7.1.2 and those with the ones in 6.1.3.

9.0.1 is probably going to come out on the 23rd based on how quickly they rolled out 8.0.1/8.0.2 on iOS 8.

I doubt 9.0.1 is going to change anything performance related. Probably have to wait for 9.1 for any significant boost.
 
I sent my iphone 6 off in the mail to apple (again 4th time for camera, 5th time total) to get the FaceTime camera fixed and I've been using my iphone 4 on 7.1.2 for the time being and I gotta say I find the response time to be better on it than I did using all of the ios 9 versions on my 6! Yes even 9.1. Just entering and exiting apps responds faster to my touch. I don't have to wait for the animation to completely end before it registers my next touch as in ios 9. I was going to wait tilly warranty was near the very end but I know they would load it with ios 9 so the time was now to preserve my performance on 8.4.1. It should get there tomorrow morning. I'm interested to see what ios version they ship it or the the replacement back with. If it's a replacement I'm hoping for 8.3!! If they repair I wonder if they'll flash 9.0 on it. Oh well I should have enough time to get 8.4.1 back on if that is the case.

One behavior that they axed in ios 8 compared to ios 7 is when you double tap to open the app switcher I could be tapping the place where the next app is I wanted to open as the page cards were still moving in their animation and it would continue on to that next app. Ever since ios 8 when you double tap and bring up the switcher you have to wait for the animation to completely end before you can get it to react and open the next app. This buged me but not nearly as bad as how ios 9 behaves! It is so clunky having to wait for all those animations to be over before your taps register!

Tomorrow is the date for public release of 9.0. 9.0.1 is not going to be released tomorrow.

Sorry, I don't think you understand how the final week testing period works. You are "testing" the final version of iOS 9.0 (Gold Master) before public release. This means that if there's problems with this version, Apple can release a "fix" on release day, ie. iOS 9.0.1. Hope this makes sense.

I agree, sure it's a .0 release but didn't Apple learn from early versions of iOS 7 and 8? I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

It doesn't, because it's wrong. No recent version of iOS has had a 0.1 release on the public release date, and the only one that was even close was 7.0, which was symptomatic of the mess that the early releases of iOS 7 (Apple went through three releases in just over a week).
 
Either planned obsolesce or crappy software developing on behalf of Apple to push the GM in time for the conference and 6S production. It's all about $$$ nowadays, and ever so more since Jobs died - gaudy/ticky tacky gold phones thought for the Chinese and Saudi markets, Hermes overpriced wrist bands for the watches, new hideous pinkish gold phones and watches...

On the Air 2? Sure. It's much more powerful than 6 Plus.

Understood. I have never paid much attention to the 6 Plus. Do the complaints about slow performance go all the way back to its introduction, or did this become an issue with the iOS 9 betas?

Performance was OK on iOS 8. Not perfect, but very very good. It's not terrible on iOS 9, but it is slightly worse than on iOS 9, which is ridiculous considering perfomance and i proved smoothness was a major iOS 9 feature...
