You realise you just described yourself in reverse, right?
Same 2-3 people chiming in how "it's just your device!" and "smooth here!"... yeah, you get the idea.
Got a tip for us?

How can they ignore the fact that performance is such an important part about iOS?
If I were in charge of iOS, performance and security would be #1 on my list, above all else (new features, etc.).
I hope that this "Soon." only applies to beta 1 of iOS 9.2. If that's the case, then Apple is finally recognizing that iOS 9 runs incredibly bad, and that's good. Otherwise, they just aren't even caring about the customer anymore.

How about the music app? I mean I have iTunes Match with 12,000 songs? Should I update?
Isn't that "soon" just a placeholder for any improvements found by the OP? Apple hasn't said anything have they?
Correct
It was slid up because I'm picky about screenshots. But yes, I've got Enable Restrictions at the top.

You've just described the biggest problem with Apple right now. Their marketing team is making all the decisions with regards to what features gets put on new OS releases. Garbage performance OS like iOS 9 gets released when the marketing team is placed above the software engineers
How?
I didn't say "it's just your device" or "smooth here". It's been accepted for a while now that iOS 9 does stutter. However it's the relentless few that feel the need to post their dissatisfaction in any and all threads that even mention iOS 9. Claiming because it's utterly useless to them it's fact that it will be utterly useless to all. When the hard truth is, it varies person to person. So for them to keep "scaring" people away from updating because of their blanket statement, that's when others chime in about only each individual user can decide for themselves if it's good enough (for now and will most likely get better over time) and worth the new features.
The constant whine posts about lag are getting borderline childish at this point when they find their way into every single thread related to or not about it. I swear if someone started a thread "I have 9 safari tabs open" just the fact the number "9" is in the title, lag posts would find their way in there. Again, it's not until then do others chime in to provide whatever OP with more usable feedback instead of whiney one sided BS.
I do not use iTunes Match anymore (since Apple Music ) but all looks fine with the music.
I don't think you can get full expectations without using for a few days. Battery life depends on how you use the phone what apps and so on. Everyone will be different.
Not really for those still on 8.4.1 or below, the trial period has expired, but then again that is a topic that has beaten around the bush. One can decide to take a chance. Since there is no way to go back to 8.4.1 or below, people have to rely on feedback they read on the message boards, good or bad.
I agree. Feedback good or bad should be known. But it's all the one sided posts that may mislead someone who actually wants to update and gain the latest features and so on, that's what is troubling. For many people suffering a bit of animation stuttering doesn't outweigh the feature gains. This is why others have had to chime in afterwards and provide feedback about the "bigger picture" so to speak. It might be detrimental to some to have fewer than 60fps animations, I get that. But in all honesty there is so much more to iOS than just animation performance. The hyper focusing on one single area is tiresome.
Oh, I see it now. Strange, I guess I never really noticed, so it wasn't a big deal to me. Sloppy work, though, hope they fix it by 9.1.1/9.2.
I'm seeing animation improvements on both my air 2 and 6s plus.
Alot of people making those one sided posts have asked for videos showing iOS 9 performance that is on par or better than 8.4.1, yet there is none to be found. Those one sided people have posted videos showing the opposite, sure some may be judgemental but in some it is clear as day the difference. Sure safari may be better but the users first impression is the user interface as that is what one sees the most. The A7 is perfectly capable of driving Infinity Blade 3,( yes, 2 years old but much more graphic intensive than iOS) yet we have animation issues with the UI in iOS 9?

My app switcher is most noticeably smoother on 6s plus and air 2. I got a good feel of the frame drop just prior to updating.
