Anyone seeing either of the following? (was in 9.1 too) 1: Scheduled DND times the text overlaps including the from/to times. 2: Contacts search issue. Select single group (not all contacts) close contacts app. open contacts and search for a contact in the selected group. Nothing found, then open groups and close then search again and the contact appears. Subsequent searches are ok unless app is closed. Apple sent response to feedback that engineers have implemented changes that are supposed to have fixed the problem in the latest build 13C5055d (9.2) but hasn't for me. Wondering if I need to reset settings or something or if in fact just has not been effectively resolved.
i love this kind of customer in apple community. this attention to detail that makes macs and ios devices are a joy to use. you can find a lot of android third party apps with blurry buttons, ugly UI, but very rare on iOS and Mac apps. it's like all the pretty girls hangin out in apple's yacht and all the ugly chicks hang out in google's yacht.
android users in android forums will reply to your complain with this: what blurry? i dont see anything blurry. it sure looks damn fine to me.. urghhhhh
There are a few UI glitches not related to lagginess on iPad Air 2 and they're not being fixed since iOS 9 first beta. The iPad is always the least respected with iOS.
This thread doesn't care either, as I have already asked for the placement of that kind of bug on the first page and no one cares.
You guys deserve your lag.

You know anyone can edit the first thread to add or change things there, right? And that whatever is in this thread, whether or not it's in the first post/page, isn't what Apple looks at or goes by.
I don't visit Android forums nor do I care what they have to say. I simply don't like how irresponsible Google has become for Android as a platform. Google's and Apple's beliefs in user experience are not compatible, and I'm siding with the more responsible one. Yes, agreed Apple pays attention to detail in both hardware and software for the most part. However, they are still not exempt from occasional slip up like this who iOS 9 performance fiasco.
And it seems they're slipping more than usual as of late.
Well my first Apple product was an iPad Air running iOS 7, and that started out terrible with several obvious glitches in the iPad iOS UI. Some updates later I recall the glitches being fixed and everything worked great. Then iOS 8 came along and things started lagging again. Then iOS 8.4.1 came out and everything was smooth sailing. Now iOS 9 and subsequent versions don't seem to be maintaining the good performance of the last iOS 8.x release.
(I've heard people who are more experienced tell me that earlier versions of iOS were better, like iOS 5 or 6, but I haven't personally experienced those so I don't know for sure)
well, actually google with its own phone aka the nexus phones are actually good. material design is good. people who ruined them are third party vendor like samsung, sony, etc, with it's custom ugly UI, and third party developers who couldnt care less about the beautifulness in their apps. i find a lot of ios apps ported to android but looks not as polished as the ios counterpart.
Well sorry for the lack of context, I was mostly referring to system level animations and overall speed. Wasn't referring to any specific app. But, I agree. Apple Music was pretty laggy when it first came out. It seems to be getting better now.
Using Apple Music effectively lagged the entire system on iOS 8.
I personally think iOS 9 is ahead of iOS 8 at this stage of tht development process. 9.2 is far better on my 6+ and Air 2. Not to mention it's been much more stable than iOS 8, at anytime for me. Where iOS 9 needs tweaking is with fluidity. That's a huge deal for some, so those folks will be more vocal. I get it and empathize.
I can already see an improvement in 9.2 b1. That tells me they are actively working to smooth things out. Of course, it isn't were some folks want it to be, but it's moving in the right direction and that's the good news.
Thanks for the info, good to know they're taking optimization more seriously on 9.2. I don't think I'll be installing PB on my main devices anytime soon, guess I'll wait until the final version is released.
I've reported this one, with screenshot. When you set the Text Size slider a notch below the max setting, you get that squished font thing going on in DND.
No panties here to get in a knot. I must say however that the Lag in your screen name says it all.
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but I just noticed you can now download music from Apple Music to listen to offline/with out using your data!! 
This is great because I don't have Wi-Fi at my job and I be using a lot of my data streaming music at work. I had been waiting for Apple to add this feature.

The iPhone 6s Plus hardware isn't the issue this time around, it's got a strong GPU we've seen the specs in comparison to the iPad Air 2 and the single core is FASTER; with Multi-Core not far behind. I think Apple learned their mistake from the 1st Plus iPhones hence why the stronger GPU and 2GB of RAM. I really do think it's software because iOS 9.2 already cleans up quite a bit on the 6s Plus animations, and something tells me they are working on it because the Landscape animations are slower in this beta while portrait is fine. They are tweaking and I hope the final cleans it up completely. (Even the dynamic wallpaper lag was fixed to a degree)
Not that I'm dying or anything but its the first time when I'm force closing apps I have big frame drops. Thats insteresting. Never had such problems in any ios 9 betas before..
While I noticed lots of improvement on my iPhone 6, my iPad Air 2 is relatively unchanged on 9.2. Entering and exiting Spotlight while in landscape mode is choppy at times and the App Switcher isn't any smoother. However, when using the device in portrait mode, both the App Switcher and Spotlight run a little smoother than in landscape mode. I've submitted a report via Feedback.
Yes, I am sad to see that they haven't improved Air 2 that much with this release. Thanks for providing feedback, I will do the same.
I do see a big change for the better in smoothness on Air 2 and 9.2b1. Not as big a difference as on my aging iPhone 5 - the difference there is really visible to the naked eye. I'm finally able to turn transparency back on and have a completely smooth GUI update.
