How is iOS 9 on iPhone 6 / 6 Plus?

[Cougarcat]

Are there less app resets on the Plus? It would be lovely if Music remembered my place. I'm guessing this is something that only a 6S Plus with more RAM will solve .

So no battery problems or laggy/stutter on iPad Air 2? How is the multitasking? I'd like to try it on my Air 2 as a daily driver.

Working perfectly on my iPad Air 2 not really any battery issues on it as charge when go to bed and lasts all day unlike the iPhone 6 which is not so good only problem is can't go back to 8.4 until a later 9 beta is released as have Watch OS 2 which requires 9 so got a battery case from Amazon to use for when i go out to make sure it don't go flat

Multitasking working well on my iPad Air 2

Great on 6 plus. They fixed the bug that was all over the news about 700 apps or more or a full disk with songs/movies on the 128 iPhone 6 plus. But in beta 4/5 they introduced a new bug that most people wont see. If you install 1189 or more apps (yes took forever to test this) the phone wont show up in itunes. Photos sees it fine....console sees it fine...itunes wont see it at all. Confirmed the same problem on an Ipad Air 2 and iPhone 5s so I assume this bug is with all devices. But not many people will have that many apps. But I test the iOS betas to the limits. If you have the apple watch, all the apps have to be installed on your iPhone. So if you have 100 watch apps now you have 100 more iPhone apps so it is easier to get more apps now.

Nothing too bad for me except the abysmal battery drain... My poor 6 Plus! xD look at this!!! View attachment 560007

When Home & Lock Screen is sucking up that much battery, you are probably have (1) brightness setting on high, (2) auto lock set to 2+ minutes, (3) get lots of push notification, or (4) your phone is in a funky state and needs to be either reset or setup as new.

Or maybe iOS9 sucks when it comes to battery life.

I can't speak for the iPhones because I've only installed it on my Air 2, but battery life in PB1 and PB3 are comparable to iOS 8.x. PB2 chewed through my battery like crazy, but PB3 fixed whatever it was that was doing that. Most of the complaints seem to relate to the 5S.

That's not the case.

Umm my post was in relation to iOS 9 beta 1 or 2 which was known to suck.

Battery wise, the 6 is similar to iOS 8...maybe a little better in low power mode.

Performance wise, the beta is not too stable; there is constant stuttering and lag. It isn't bad, just disappointing based on how much development it already had. In light of this, this is a beta, and future builds (including the GM) may prove this new software to be smooth and wonderful while meeting expectations.

Sadly my iPhone 6 running iOS 9 beta doesn't feel as smooth as my friend's year-older Nexus 5 running Android M (also in beta).

I got fed up with the bugs 8.4.1 decided to throw up so downloaded the Public Beta to my 6+.

There are a few issues (to be expected!) but it feels much, much better than iOS 8.

Hopefully the GM irons out a few of those kinks.
