Loving 9.3 on my Air 2 especially. It's got it's snappiness & responsiveness back that it had on 8.4.1 when using pinch to home and other gestures. It just feels so much more fluid under the fingertips.
Got a tip for us?

I should have a proper read through first but i'm going to put on here what i've noticed. Was trying to upload some photos from iPhone to photo app. Both iPhone6 and iMac mid 2011 are running the public betas. The photo app sees my iPhone but there isn't anything to import, same goes with the image capture, sees the iPhone but nothing to import. Thought it might be that the photos were taken before the iphone updated so this week been taking some photos but still nothing to import. Anyone else have this issue? I've already spoken to apple and left feedback about the issue.
I agree with Anandtech, frame drops in iOS are not good;
"There’s also the issue of performance. While there was a time when iOS was just incredibly smooth all the time, I’m starting to notice a trend of apps and general UI tasks that show rather concerning levels of frame drops. I’m not really sure exactly when this happened, but something as simple as scrolling through the Notes app shows frame drops on par with scrolling through Google’s Play Store app. This is definitely an area where Apple should focus on improving, as performance problems shouldn't be a concern with a tablet that's as powerful as the iPad Pro."

I am not saying it's not an issue on the iPhone 6 (picture evidence says it is) ... but I'm not seeing that on the 6S Plus...

I remember that bug from the iOS 9.0 betas. They fixed it at one point, but it seems to have returned.
Om my iPhone 6 running 9.2.1, I can reproduce that like this:
1) from springboard double-tap home button to lower screen
2) swipe right
Fixes itself after you swipe back.
Thanks for that. Going to submit a bug report tonight. Unfortunately, it'll probably just get marked as a duplicate anyway
It's been an issue for a while now (at least as early as 9.1 that I know of) it doesn't seem to effect everyone. Mine works and always has but I know some people who's haven't worked since October. It's not tied to 9.3 or 9.2.1 or 9.2 or 9.1 or 9.0.2 or 9.0.1 or 9.0 specifically. It's the iCloud service.

Can someone confirm that once you 3d touch on a keyboard and go into trackpad mode it will not work second time?
3 times in a row for me, no issues with going in to track pad here.
"It's just indexing!"
"It's a beta!"
Etc... it's funny that iOS9 takes multiple releases to index, even the final releases are awful.
Obviously iOS9 at its core has FPS issues, and it's most likely due to the change in graphics API Metal.
We were stating this 3 months ago. Where are the stuttering apologists now ? Desktop class hardware my ass.
The hardware most likely really is desktop class. This is a software optimization issue.
You don't say ?
Based on response on here I'd state that the Anandtech reviewer is merely imagining things and everything is perfectly, buttery smooth. Because if there are "software optimization issues" that show on "desktop class hardware", how bad is it on "old" hardware then ?
I never said the reviewer was imagining things. I see the performance issues all the time. What I'm saying is that there are two sides of the coin. Software and hardware. If the software isn't up to par, no amount of powerful hardware can fix that.
