It reminds me of Android Widget lag.**** was persistent until Marshmallow finally fixed it
Jokes aside its unacceptable that my iPhone 6 reminds me of my iPhone 4 at times (which I used up until September of 2014).
Got a tip for us?

iOS 9.2 (Beta 1) Bug Fixes, Changes and Performance Adjustments

Performance on the iPhone 6s Plus has been slightly improved.
- App Switch animation speed is way faster.
- App Switch spaces between apps are larger.
As for battery life, 1 hour and 40 minutes web surfing through apps and social networking, with Power Saving on, it drained from 16% to 1%. Will observe whether there are improvements when fully recharged.

I'll believe it when I see it. People were saying the same about how much had improved with 9.1 beta and when it got released to the public, nothing changed.
True. They promised better performance and up to an hour's extra battery life. Aside from the hardware on my phone providing extra performance, I see none from iOS and I'm getting less battery life than I did with my old phone too. On the plus side, I do have a ton more useless emojis to scroll through when I'm hunting the few decent ones.
Can anyone on Air 2'confirm If there is lag while opening and closing app switcher with 3 or more apps open?
Hm, I start seeing an issue with App Store .. Cannot load any content. Just show the purchased apps. Some hours ago it worked. Anybody has similar issue ?
Edit: now it shows cannot connect to App Store. And even I cannot open my App Store Apple ID in the settings. The apple system status page shows no issues with the App Store
Edit2: strange - if I stop Wifi - all is ok. Can access AppStore and iTunes via GPRS. But when return to the wifi - no access.

Apple Music is still a bit of a mess. If I make a playlist available offline and add a track to it, it really should download that track. Spotify does this, as does most other music services.

Behave yourself. If you're seriously saying that your iPhone 6 on iOS 9 performs the same way your iPhone 4 did in 2014 (on iOS 8 I presume) then you're talking absolute nonsense. That kind of talk is beyond ridiculous and does nothing but scaremonger.
My Father in Law has an iPhone 4 on iOS 8, I used it only last week to help set up his iCloud account on it. Trust me, you've either got a very wayward memory or you're just trash talking for the sake of it.
Know what posts really get me? The ones that go something like this (and there's been a few):
"Open a folder, twirl your device twice anti clockwise, double tap the home button, twirl your device clockwise three times, triple tap the home button, throw your phone in the air like you just don't care, go back to the folder, tap the home button ... SEE IT!? SEE THAT LAG!?! UNACCEPTABLE!!!"
Give me strength.

Yes, I'm using iOS 9.2 beta and there's no changes between iOS 9.1 and 9.2. Lag in CC still exist on iPhone 5s, 6 and 6S. They did nothing in this case. Overall performance is poor on iPhone 6. I think this is a sign to get new one. Sorry, I'm disappointed
No lag on mine so not so.... It may excist for certain users and may not excist for others. So can't say it will be same for all.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't have to do any of that, and still get lag just when using the App Switcher, or exiting an app. If you don't have lag, great, I'm happy for you, but there are plenty of users who has it. No need to be a smart ass.
LOL.They can forget getting my money if they don't fix these 2 pain points.I already plonked 700 dollars on my Air 2 only watch it stutter in just one year.Besides Nexus 6P and Galaxy S6 edge don't lag so why should I pay more for less
Can I just say everyone's experience is going to be different. Your all taking this lag way to over the top..... If you ain't happy go to android it's lag free
Another person who's obviously so self absorbed they've not seen my own lag complaints in the past regarding iOS 9.
There are areas that need attention due to stutter, however my post above is not me being a "smart ass", it's simply calling out people who are asking folk to use the device in a sequence that isn't equal to real world use in order to see lag.
All any of us need to run fluidly are the zoom in/out animations when opening/closing apps, rotation animations, Spotlight, Control Centre, Notification Centre, Siri, and the App Switcher. That's the primary and most often seen areas of the UI that we see in day to day use.
The other stuff about opening a folder, tapping this, rotating that, tapping home and whatever other ridiculous and convoluted steps these people take that are not done in day to day use ...they're not important.
Irony clearly went over your head with regards to my post you quoted, as it wasn't even about genuine lag or stutter.
Is it possible some people are mistaking the little "bounce" at the end of the CC animation for lag?
I don't know mate . I think some people are suffering but others are not. It's just a bit over top when it's on every post on here lol.
I have noticed when I open weather app that my wallpaper kinda shows like a water mark behind weather for about 2 seconds though. (This is the stuff that bothers me) the lag here neither here nor there. iOS 9.2 is running absolutely fine on my device. But it will run different with everyone as we all have different things one and run our devices different.
Yeah, on 9.0 there was lag which did detract from the user experience, namely the zooming in/out animations when opening/closing apps ... there would be this little stutter near the end of the transition which would catch your eye. On 9.1 it's completely gone, so it's all good.
I recorded a 60fps video of my Air 2 on 9.1 beta 5 and someone must have sat there and slow motion, frame by frame viewed it because they managed to notice one little bit of stutter I hadn't seen during recording. Turned out it was when returning to the home screen from the App Switcher and that one instance was used to invalidate the smoothness in every other area of the video.
I am invested in Android,iOS and Windows 10 mobile.Bulk of my purchases are on the App Store so the iPhone and iPad will continue to stick around,just won't be my daily drivers.That spot (unless Apple fixes the lag) is reserved for Nexus 6P or Galaxy S7Can I just say everyone's experience is going to be different.

I think a lot of people have short memories when it comes to iOS and "lag". I've seen a few people comment about Steve not standing for this and that, but he presided over the worst case of iOS lag I have ever witnessed when iOS 4 turned the iPhone 3G into an absolute wreck.
That remains possibly the most unusable I've ever seen an iOS device become after an update. It was unbelievable.

Yepah they do that lol i got slammed for a video because I recorded it and it was not light enough lol
