It's smoother, but you're right, it's not completely smooth. It's an improvement though.Same here on my 6plus. App switcher is smoother, but not reduced-transparency smooth. But getting better each betaHopefully, 9.1 final or 9.2 will be more or less perfect.
Got a tip for us?

YES. EXACTLY. And don't even try to tell us we're remembering it better than it actually was, because we're not. I remember how iOS 6 felt on my iPhone 5 perfectly clearly. It was SO much better in the fluidity aspect than what we have been getting since iOS 7.
Better results here. Top is beta 4, bottom is beta 5.

Whatever. Doesn't change the fact that iOS 9 slows down every iOS device I've testen even though Apple promised the opposite.
I know this has been done to death, but Safari on my 6 plus is much smoother and snappier. The tab switcher is so smooth now.
In the experience of some, that seems to be the case. In the experience of others it doesn't seem to be, or at the very least it's not something that has an impact on them. The underlying point there is that aside from a few that have some sort of larger issues (which crop up with various updates for some people), the small frame drop issues here and there are nothing close to being horrific or making the device unusable for most people, as some keep on trying to make it all out to be, and iOS 9.0 in most respects overall has been a better release than iOS 8.0 or 7.0 have been.
That doesn't mean there aren't issues for some, and that there aren't things that can be and should be better, but it's to say it's nothing horrible and it's nothing unexpected given 8.0 and 7.0 releases, and is actually better than those in many respects.
Are you sure you are supposed to be using beta software?
No one is saying that. iOS 7 and 8 were not better than iOS 6 in terms of fluidity.
Yes.....Are you sure you are supposed to be using beta software?
Previous 9.1 betas were labeled as betas. This one isn't.
LOL yeah, All the stuff that didn't work in iOS 8 did it faster/smoother! Definitely better that it actually working but being a 1/4 of a second slower to open.
"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."
That was the post you replied to. Where's the mention of iOS 7.0 and 8.0 being perfect?
You mean on the "About" page? Never seen betas been labeled as betas there. Strange...
Really? The "that's not the quality and perfection we've been used from Apple"--how could anyone be used to something that simply was even worse with iOS 7.0 and 8.0 releases? My reply was to point out that there hasn't been something to be used to or expect as far as perfection goes for a few years now, so a statement like that seems to not really be based on reality as it has been for at least a while now.
For crying out loud. You folks complaining about nanoseconds of frame drops are ruining the intent of this thread. I come here to read about what's new, changed, and whatnot. No point in having 7 pages of complaining. See frame drops on your 5S? Get a 6S. Battery life is horrid on your 6? Get a 6 Plus. Simple as that. Open up a Frame Drops R Us Megathread. Stop slamming the beta threads.
You are right that's not the thread for this kind of discussion but anyway.
Oh and by the way : "See frame drops on your 5S? Get a 6S." Well even the 6s drops frames, that's the problem.
Question. Is there any way to manage slide over apps? For example, I don't want "tips" and "maps" to be available there.
You again ? Where is my 60fps video I asked for ? Not saying you lie, just want to check, maybe you have a super-powered iPhone who knows.
If I had a video camera to record I'd put claim to this comment as bull ! Iv not got an ounce of stutter or lag.... Iphone6 64gb
