9.1 is looking great on my 6. I've been using my phone heavily since about 8:00 this morning and I'm sitting at 55%. There's still a slight delay when opening apps from springboard but everything else is nice and smooth.
Slightly OT: Can somebody take a moment and explain why there's always somebody asking for the expiration date of the beta like the answer will determine whether or not they install? Historically there is always a new beta before the previous one expires, no?

My two cents - the 9.1 beta is basically a more polished version of the GM (surprisingly), with new emojis and behind the scenes additions for new iPad Pro functionality. No bugs at all so far, and my iPhone 6 is performing infinitely better than on the GM, like day and night faster.
I don't remember 8.4.1, but I can for sure tell you that compared to ios 9 GM, my iPhone 6 is blazing fast with 9.1
Downloaded Gm yesterday on my iPhone 6 Plus. Was impressed with it. Downloaded 9.1 today and wow. 30% faster and snappier. You can just tell how much smoother it is. Obviously can't say anything about battery yet. Haven't came across any bugs or lag yet. Will update if I do though.
I will report back if I do......actually I cant lol, after going to the Watch 2 GM, my battery died in 5 hours. I'm on Power Reserve at the moment. I will need to unpair and pair. Had this issue with Beta 1 or 2 I think. The wife's watch is fine though. Updated hers to 9.0 GM and the 2 GM as well and her battery is fine. I was so excited to be on the GM and now here I am going back to a Beta lol
9.1 on the 6 Plus is definitely what the GM of 9.0 should've been. It's not miles better than the GM but it's noticeable in terms of smoothness. Only lag I'm still seeing is when you have several apps open in the multitasking switcher, tapping into one drops frames. Otherwise, it seems very good compared to the GM.
I can confirm an un-pair and re-pair should fix the battery drain issues.... well it did for me.
Is the weather showing up in your notifications? Mine seemed to have disappeared. Only shows the day and date.
For me it shows all groups on contacts. When I uncheck the extra groups it only lasts until I close the app. Do others have this problem or have a fix? It has been there since earlier iOS 9 betas and remains in 9.1.
