I just updated and I can notice that the animations when opening apps is ever so slightly smoother and faster. I'm fairly observant with little things like that. App switcher does seem to be slightly more responsive as well.
I'd update because you'll be getting updates before anyone else.
Who said? Who stood there and say you will see a x times/x% improvement of OS smoothness/less lag? Never heard that in the keynote and I've seen every one going back to the original iphone.
Wow. You're so smart. You know what I did own that ran iOS 8? An iPhone 6. Next time, how about you try to understand what people are saying before spewing out insults. Oh, and performance has improved on the Air 2? Try rotating in the Spotlight pulldown. Great performance there...I have both and I disagree. Performance has being greatly improved on Air 2. And... Considering 6S Plus never ran iOS 8, this proves you have no competence to evaluate this.
Ever get the idea that maybe there is a problem with lag? I don't see it but I do respect those that do. I have one issue with iOS 9.X and it is with the animation/fade and screen input delay. That does not mean I am truly unhappy with my device, maybe a little disappointed but not a hater.
Just downloaded the beta and I can see visibly no difference on my iPhone 6 and Air 2.Control Centre still stutters and I am now starting to doubt if it it will ever get fixed.Spotlight pulldown still has that split second freeze.Mobile data Menu still stutters while scrolling down the list of apps.Scrolling in apps still has this stutter like I am in Android Gingerbread era.
All in all,a pretty lacklustre update.
I never said it doesn't have its place but NOT every beta update wiki thread. Every single one of the beta threads has been closed because of lag/no lag argument, without any about the actual bugs/fixes. No one can even come around here and get any real information anymore; its really sad.
There are NUMEROUS (and some 10-20 pages) lag threads already in this section these people can go debate it in.
boom

Do we need any more threads crapped up?
My point is I dont give 2 sh*ts personally what side of the lag/no lag fence anyone is on, take it to the correct threads above already started and leave this for ACTUAL BETA BUGS/FIXES. We now have 5 pages of crap here, minus MAYBE 3-5 post total, yet again not even addressing any bugs or fixes.
Just sick of same crap in every thread crapping up Macrumors these days. Complain complain complain. Absolutely nothing constructive whatsoever to add. These forums have gone way downhill to almost a joke level of intelligence.
This "beta" excuse has been tossed around since April 2014 and nothing changesStop complaining about lag you guys! It's a BETA, of course it's gonna lag here and there. After all, there is beta software running in the background that will slow your device down as well as indexing. Once the final version is released, there will be NO LAG. Be patient. Apple knows what they're doing. They wouldn't release a laggy iOS.
Well Radon I too have one those so called flagship $800 iPhone 6 but mine has ZERO performance hitches. iOS 9.2 and now 9.2.1 beta is flawless in my experience. And I happen to be one of those that is very picky about performance and stability. By the way have you actually extensively used an iPad Pro? I have and must they are absolutely fantastic!Do you even know what OCD means?My experience with iOS 9 is replicated by a lot of other people.Just because some don't experience it doesn't mean my experience is invalidated.The lag most definitely exists as Xcode simply proves it does.Whats subjective is people noticing the drop.Some don't mind 30fps.I on the other hand need a constant 60.Performance is a big highlight of iOS 9 so it deserved a big mention in iOS 9 beta threads as Apple claims it should be smoother than iOS 8 when factually it isn't.If you don't like us discussing this issue than just put us on ignore.Problem solved
I bought my Air 2 and iPhone 6 at $800+ and I feel the least I should expect is similar performance when a device gets an update.These are supposed to be flagship products with ZERO performance hitches.Heck even the iPad Pro has em and it costs a thousand bucks which is absolutely unacceptable.
If I could tolerate this microsecond lag as you put it I would just get a cheap Android and be done with it
So I haven't seen this mentioned yet on any of the iOS 9 betas, and I'm still seeing it so I'll bring it up here:
What I'm trying to explain is a graphical glitch with any apps that draw lines, like iMessage for example.
If iMessage is currently being used, and you then enter the app switcher, when you scroll side to side you'll notice the lines in iMessage flicker. However, if you switch to another app like Safari, and then enter the app switcher, the lines in iMessage no longer flicker. (But you'll now notice the top line in Safari flickering) If you switch back to iMessage and then again enter the app switcher and slide side to side, you'll see the flicker again.
This happens with every single app that draws lines and is forefront, before wanting the app switcher. Apps that are in the background and not forefront do not display flickering.
I don't remember seeing this prior to iOS 9, and I couldn't find any threads on it...but just mentioning it here as it's still present.

That's interesting. I noticed something similar to that but didn't understand why and how it was happening. You should submit a feedback to apple to let them know.So I haven't seen this mentioned yet on any of the iOS 9 betas, and I'm still seeing it so I'll bring it up here:

Glad it's working out fine for you but it doesn't for me.Maybe I just have lower lag toleranceWell Radon I too have one those so called flagship $800 iPhone 6 but mine has ZERO performance hitches. iOS 9.2 and now 9.2.1 beta is flawless in my experience.
