iOS 9 won't feel as fast or fluid as previous versions until they let me tap an app icon mid animation on the home screen after closing an app. You still have to wait till an animation finishes 100% till the screen will respond to your touch. It's the very first thing I noticed when upgrading to iOS 9 and still my number 1 annoyance that makes things feel clunky and slow. Why they won't change this back I just don't know. It's a step backward and makes the phone feel clunky.

Fix this and I'll be happy. As of now I am content with iOS 9.2

Battery life is stellar! (iPhone 6s)
Is that after a full charge right after install or did you let it sit for a few hours after install then full charge?

I charged mine to 100% immediately following install and its dropping pretty quickly. My usage time is going up about 1/2 the rate as stand by even with nothing open or in the background. My CPU usage is relatively low, idling at 3-4% and my phone isn't warm at all. I tried a hard reset but no luck. Something is deinfitely running in the background but it's not recording in settings.
 
Is anyone else seeing a bug where the notification for new text messages shows the originating phone number rather than the saved contact's name? I've seen it in several betas sporadically since the first iOS 9 PB, and reported feedback on it as far back as July.
 
I actually like the fast scrolling app switcher. I don't agree that the fluidity is lost. It's just fast and most of all less input delay compared to 9.1. But if they changed it back it wouldn't bother me. As long as it's fluid and no input delay.

I think some people are stuck with the fast app switcher and some have the more fluid one at a time app switcher as I'm reading numerous different comments. As of pb2 I have the slow one at a time app switcher

I believe the one at a time is due to having reduce motion enabled. That changes it so a single one with one icon up top.

Mine is behaving really weird. It kinda jumps between pages when I'm swiping to the left (toward the home screen) but when I swipe right it's perfectly normal?
Seems like they may be toying with a feature to get it back to home fast. It was a little better in B1 but since B2 is faster that gets almost to fast now.
 
Siri cannot access my contacts on my 6S plus. I'll ask to text somebody or email somebody and they will act like the people are not in my address book. The contacts are definitely in my address book though. I reset all settings and it is still doing it. Anyone else?

OK scratch that. Is more than just contact. Siri literally cannot hook into the system at all. It will not open up apps saying that there is not an app named that but there obviously is. Anyone else having any issues or Siri?

All working fine here, can launch apps and get contact info without a problem. :S

Are you sure you don't have reduce motion on? Turning that on gives you a completely different effect. What your describing with the 'one by one' sounds like RM is on.
 
iPhone 6 is super smooth on 9.2 beta 3. Very pleasing.

same here, EXCEPT the stutters from time to time when I have whatsapp running.

and whenever I close whatsapp down at app switcher, the system immediately goes back to buttery smoothness.

annoying...

Is this NEW (Use Dictation without Internet)? I also notice dictation doesn't work in Macrumors or Safari search anymore? I'm wondering if this is a bug?

Animations are going off again. The home screen, app switcher just pop back without any animation whether you activate reduce motion or not.

This bug still presents and happening since 9.0

The only workaround is rebooting the device
 
Working solid in iphone 5s. Im glad it is. Usually if you upgrade 2 major OS. The device will slow down. But not with this ios9. This gives life to my 5s so i can hold onto the new 4" next year.
 
No its not highlighted anymore since iOS 9 as AlexNice stated. It shows before tapping the i, the phone label that was called from but not the blue highlight inside the info screen.



This is extremely annoying, I heard the solution is to delete the contact then re-enter them, what a pain, I hope they fix this.

I haven't tried any of the 9.2 betas myself, but this has been happening sporadically for me on 9.1...
When you open the message itself it then recognises the number, but on the first notification it only shows the number, as if it's not on your contact list!
