No stutters, but when I look at it carefully I can see them. So which one is it?

He's saying you're making mountains out of molehills here.

I pull down spotlight it opens as intended, same with CC. I could go through any app on my phone or previous version if iOS and find examples where the software is not "perfect". Sometimes it's about making trade offs, it's never going to be perfect.
 
With iOS 9.0/.0.1/.0.2 when for example I'm watching a video on Youtube in landscape mode, and someone text me on whatsapp, if I have the rotation locked and I open whatsapp, the screen remain in landscape mode and I have to restart the app.
In iOS 9.1 is this bug (If it's a bug) fix?

The reason a lot of people are upset about little stutters is because prior to iOS 7, there were NEVER animation stutters in iOS. Everything was perfectly smooth. It was like liquid, 60FPS animations all the time.

Ever since iOS 7 came out there have been animation stutters here and there, and we've been wanting the smoothness of iOS 6 back.

I don't let it ruin my life, but I do miss the smoothness of iOS 6, even now three versions later. Whatever dev at Apple was doing such a great job making the system so smooth clearly left (or lost their talent) when iOS 7 came about.

Thanks, exactly what I think. I don't have any particular complain about iOS 9 and I'm not even bothered that much of sutters but damn, that's not the quality and perfection we've been used from Apple.

Yeah...iOS 7.0 and 8.0 have been total gems and completely supported the idea of perfection.

I am not sure if we are remembering correctly here. I have had every iphone and been there for every release since iOS 4 and each version has had small stutters or small hiccups here and there. In fact I hear many say how iOS 7.1.2 fixed the stutters in iOS 7 and was running smoothly when in fact it was still stuttery and jumpy. I am sure by the time iOS 9 reaches its final update people will be comparing it to the "optimization" that was 8.4.1 when in reality I think we only remember the good.

Of course I will be the first to say iOS 7 brought a long with it stuttering and bugs that none of the others have had but to say any other version was perfect isn't correct.
 
They promised us performance improvements, all we got is lag and stutter. I'm anxious to see what happens when Apple doesn't promise performance improvements...

Those who are saying it doesn't stutters which mean 60 frames per second, please, record a video I want to see that.

hunt2013 : Depends on the device you had. You can't have perfection if you have a really old device. My 3GS was **** on iOS 6, of course, it was 4 years old but still there wasn't such big frame drops in transitions and animations.

On a side note, other than lag, stutter, 56.45382 FPS instead of 60 FPS sometimes or when slowly scrolling up cc, anyone use DND on a schedule and notice the from/to times overlapped? Only thing I see different so far from B4 is the performance seems a little better. The other items (settings search item text, setting menu opening down a little and DND overlapping text) all still there. All visual/cosmetic so thats a plus.

App switcher seems smoother on my 6 plus. As do most other animations. I've actually turned off 'reduce motion'.

Same here on my 6plus. App switcher is smoother, but not reduced-transparency smooth. But getting better each beta :) Hopefully, 9.1 final or 9.2 will be more or less perfect.

iOS 7.0 or iOS 8.0, which were worse than 9.0 has been (but things get worked out to a good degree by the time their final updates come out).

I disagree. iOS 8.0 was much more responsive. Buggy, but responsive.

Second: iOS 9 was marketed to have better performance while the opposite is true. It is one thing to have a slow OS, but promising improvements before doing a 180, that's next level.

What would be the point of that? Anyone who thinks there are frame drops will still say they see them no matter what, making any videos rather moot one way or another. Yes, there are frame drops in some places, and for many people they are just not pronounced enough to really affect anything.
 
I've been playing with the control center as you advised and I see no shutters at all (iPhone 5 with iOS9.0.2) - I've got shutters in many places but not in the cc. Strange...
I am installing iOS9.1beta5 on my iPhone 4s now, I will try it when it is ready.

Metal/64-bit devices have more stutter than iPhone 5.

Yeah, the iPhone 5 is a weird one. It's actually much smoother than the 5s and 6.

I can't remember frame drops on an iPhone 5/5s running iOS 7.0. I can see them on a 6/6s running 9.0 though.

Having participated in many similar complaint threads when iOS 7.0 and 8.0 came out (and there were many of those), I would say quite a few complaints about its responsiveness, animation, and lag were present either in combination to other bigger stability/performance/functionality bugs, or on their own.
