It's better. I'm a realist. I've dreamt of destroying my 6+ and sending the remains to Apple for "repair".
I have that with my iPad 3 wifi + 3g since 9.0.2, but i have one more problem, and its that i cannot connect to my house wifi (2 routers).
Interesting. Maybe they'll eventually get back there?
I'm just pleased they're making some strides with the App Switcher in my 6+.
I am really wanting to test this out as a Public Beta tester, it's a shame it still isn't out on Public Beta yet.
I have hardly been submitting feedback because nothing has been changing.. If I start to see improvements but there is room for more, I will say so. If nothing is changing, there isn't much to say unless I spam them with the same reports every time a new beta or even official build is released.
A lot of people have been saying things are better, but the thing that interests me most is the reports of the app switcher being better on the Air 2 and even much better on iPhone 6 Plus! The app switcher on the 6 plus is pretty similar to my iPad mini 2 in terms of performance, so the fact that the 6 plus improved is very exciting for me. I can't stand the app switcher on my iPad mini 2, it is really slow to get into, really stuttery in the process, and very slow to get back out of, which stutters even more. Sliding away apps even is 30FPS or less if there are blurred apps in the background. Awful.
Glad to hear the touch indicators are fixed with increase contrast! If the app switcher is still unbearable, then increase contrast will be slightly more bearable now that the keyboard will actually have proper responses to touch.
Oh, any word on the slowness and glitchiness involved with the split keyboard? When moving the keyboard or splitting it, some keys look stretched and weird, and the non-letter keys turn a darker gray. There is also an unatuaral edge to the left side of the keyboard as it is splitting, and when a split keyboard pops up, it is briefly connected until the animation finishes, then it goes back to normal. On top of that, moving the keyboard, splitting it, or anything that has to do with a split keyboard stutters and lags A LOT. Scrolling up and down a page with a split keyboard open on safari is like 20 fps, but it is fine with a regular keyboard. All these cosmetic keyboard issues have existed since the iOS 8 GM I believe. Unbelievable that they've lasted so long. I reported them in iOS 8 and the 9.0 betas, nothing yet, unless 9.2 fixed it.

There is a thread about lag on this forum about 9.2. Why not go there? He might not notice what your noticing so why not drop it and talk about it to like minded people?
Yeah, that's why I hesitate with Betas these days. Besides little problems I don't want to damage the phone.
It's pretty normal for the phone to get warm/hot while downloading 2500 songs like the person you quoted is doing. It won't damage the phone. And quite possibly the very reason why his battery is draining. Downloading 2500 songs isn't exactly a light task for the battery.
You can actually see the passcode laG when you enter the passcode in settings as well
The app switcher performance improvements is AWESOME. Definite 60 FPS, no lag no stutter. But then? After that? CC? Lag. NC? Slight lag. App performance? I fail a game because of stutter. But hey, I can keep two games running without reloading. Good for 1GB of RAM.
Is just noticed something,Ever since upgrading to 9 my iPad sound effects have become low.I can barely hear the keyboard keys and the lock sound.Anyone know a fix?
Guys there's a post just for lag here

Please use that as lag post have taken up so many pages on this post it's unbelievable. So there been a specific post for 9.2 beta lags.

While I appreciate your proactive-ness, is it wrong for people to report performance improvement (in term of animation and lag) here?
Touch indicator haven't fixed. Source: @scjr
By the way, I jailbreaked my mini 2 yesterday and installed switcher speedster. Definitely much smoother app switcher!
It's just easier to have a complete lag post as the amount of pages it's taking up. At least that way bugs and performance can be kept just for that. 98% of the post on this have been about lag and arguments so it's easier to stop it taking up all this and have one just for that.
Have you installed UniversalForce? It enable your 6 to do 3D Touch based on your finger surface area!
For everyone: is proactive reminded can be pressed now? For example, create note and use Siri "remind me about this in one minute". Reminder will be shown on Notification Center with note icon—flushed on the right. Can you press the icon and directly go to subsequent app? It's not working here on 9.1 (Only Safari can be pressed)
Yes and Live Photos. And they run perfect hopefully Live Photos will come to the 6 in future update.
They have brought newer features to older devices before though. I can see this coming in next 6 month or so after all the hype for 6s and + has died down.Never
