Overall, a VERY stable Beta 1. I've been doing betas since iOS 5 and I think this is the most stable so far... the only issue that I'm currently experiencing is horrendous battery life, but that could have been because I was downloading all of my apps again and all that. I'm charging my device now and will spend a day or two to confirm.
It's definitely not necessary, but it seems to be kinda nice. It's definitely built for people that have the Watch and iPhone so you can see both battery percentages.
This is what I am wondering! I'm going to keep my eyes peeled on the forums over the next couple of days. If it seems fairly stable, I will probably install. If not, I will wait for the first Public Beta.
okay i thought so, i didn't have it there either but i noticed it on the home page of macrumors
It shows the battery life on the iPhone and the Apple Watch. Not much point unless you have both.
Also, I can't see it at all in Notification Centre - despite having both the iPhone (6 Plus) and Apple Watch (on iOS 9 and watchOS 2). Doesn't show up in the list of available widgets.
I think I found it...

Apparently regarding the 6 digit passcode, Ars Technica reports its only available for iPhone 5S,6/6+, Air 2 and Mini 3

Do take this as a grain of salt though if it's true.

doing my first battery test, usually my battery is fine on all ios versions inc betas but ios 9 beta 1's battery is a tragedy so far, 34min usage, 1hr 15min standby, 92% left. anyone elses near as bad?
Its initially going to be bad while Spotlight is indexing. Slap it on the charger for a bit and let it sit at 100% for a while. Eventually it cools down and battery life is better.
if mines a tragedy i guess that makes urs an apocalypse
it has been 100% on charger for over 3hrs after updatingIts initially going to be bad while Spotlight is indexing. Slap it on the charger for a bit and let it sit at 100% for a while. Eventually it cools down and battery life is better.
When I updated my old 5th gen iPod touch, it gave me the option to set up a passcode, and there was a "passcode options" button. There were options for a complex passcode, 4 digit passcode, 6 digit passcode, and no passcode. So I guess you can add it to the supported list.
Apple is doing very tremendous job on releasing ultra stable iOS beta firmware, rather than official firmware.
IOS 8.4 beta 3 is really stable. You can consider installing one as long as you can get the firmware. Oh, I mean, beta 1 of iOS 9.
I got it by turning on my Location Services. Not sure if it would've appeared without that though
I'm surprised that I could do an upgrade using the IPSW. I'm going to do a restore anyway, but it was nice using iOS 9 and having all my apps and music instantly.
