Running very well on my iPad mini retina. No bugs popping up yet though I do expect some. It's a nice improvement over 8.4. Battery drain is an issue but that'll change.

Honestly I'd be happy as hell if they just give me the option to delete "tips, iBooks, photo booth, podcasts, etc etc. Seems like every new iOS version that's released adds another locked in app I can't remove.

iOS 9 includes "find my friends" AGAIN! Does anyone even use that app? Can't remove it. Annoying! Let's hope the final release changes that but I doubt it will.

I haven't used iOS 9 yet, but I can tell this won't be quite what I was hoping for. I was hoping for what was the more rumored performance *focused* release. This isn't the case, unfortunately. Performance is kinda thrown in on the side, but it seems minuscule.

^This... iOS9 is noticeably a less feature-intensive major update, but at the same time performance improvements wasn't that much emphasized as well, other than the one-slide part about Metal. I was expecting Apple to be announcing things like less memory-usage system wide, improved frame rates etc, but maybe I was expecting too much.

So much for the hype about Snow-leopard iOS... But even the beta seems to be slightly more stable as compared to iOS8 betas this time last year. Perhaps the final release will be stable enough to please *most* people.

I'm also doubtful Apple would allow us to remove stock apps we don't want installed but who knows...

Having said that I've tried iOS 9 on my iPad Air 2 and I'm on the whole (satisfied) with it. Of course there's a lot of tweaking to be done from the bugs reported to Apple by developers etc but Split Screen is great.
