Assuming these issues are present for everyone and aren't some installation glitch or something like that, which happens often enough.

UPDATE: May have been an issue with an App I downloaded "Photo Remote" after install. I deleted the App and I was then able to see Wifi connection. Will do a hard reboot now to see if the battery drain has stopped (now at 28%).

So.... May have posted too early without debugging all possibilities first - my bad.

Just did update and have the following issues (already reported to Apple)

1. Battery draining rapidly. Went from 48% to 32% in about 15 minute - regular usage on iPhone 6s Plus

2. Does not indicate in top info bar that I'm connected to wifi, even though within the wifi setting screen it shows connected.

***ADVISE NOT TO DOWNLOAD UNTIL THESE 2 ITEMS ARE FIXED. ***

I'm not seeing or experiencing these two issues.

Interesting - the home screen rotation bug is fixed on the 6+/6S+, but there's also an added (I'm assuming intentional) delay in the time it takes to rotate.

Found a major bug with iPad Air 2. Was also in iOS 9.1.

If you select the far left app (or close to it) in the task switcher you end up with the screen being blurred for a second or two.

I can confirm that this does not happen on 9.0.1 (what my local Apple Store iPhones and iPads are still running) so is definitely software related.

I found this one and reported it with screenshot. Turn Reduce Transparency ON, then OFF. Pull down on spotlight. Gray bar appears in Spotlight. See pic attached.

Motion physics in the App Switcher are weird. The animation when swiping back to the home screen when you've gone left a few apps looks a bit funky.

I jumped on the 9.2 PB1 this afternoon and so far, it's smooth sailing on my 6sPlus.
When you put 9.2 and 9.1 side by side, I can tell the animations for multitasking and opening/closing apps are much faster.
I love the new transition into multitask when using 3DTouch on the left side of the screen. It seems much smoother and sharper.
Battery life remains to be determined but a few hours into 9.2 and I'm happy with it.

It's also been accepted that iOS 9 does not stutter! There are legions of us that simply do not have that issue! Enough with your blanket statements!

Uhh, wtf dude. I'm not in the "omg it's a stuttery unusable mess" camp. Not sure if you're being sarcastic or just read it all wrong. Don't get your panties in a knot.

It functions fine if you're swiping left slowly through the App Switcher but swiping left any faster and the animation accelerates to ludicrous speed!

Same here. I wonder if that's by design?

I would doubt that because swiping right faster is accelerated but it's restrained, not insane like swiping left. I opened twenty apps and swiped right as fast as I could and it's clearly restrained unlike a fast swipe left.

I have 9.2 installed on my 6s+ (Samsung chip) and the performance improved a lot for me compared to 9.0.2 and 9.1. The app switcher is now buttery smooth for me, the spotlight search lag is gone and the stuttery 3d touch animation is also better (even though that aren't 60 fps). The 3d touch animation when pressing on the left side of the screen to access app switcher is also extremely smooth now. So far 9.2 seems to be a LOT better in terms of smoothness whereas the previous versions were horribly disappointing IMO.

I have upgraded via itunes from 9.0.2 with ipsw file. NO restore.

This hopefully helps somebody. This is my first post in this forum :)

Not sure I understand what the bug is with mail you're trying to show. Can you explain?
Click to expand...
In Mail the refresh indicator appears complete until you actually refresh. After you do a first refresh and try again, it appears with one "slice" after another until it fills and spins like it is meant to. It isn't supposed to be full before pulling so it shows up and disappears when I pull it that way.
