9.1 performance seems to be fine, smooth so far. Phone is really warm but it's charging and indexing so I'm sure that'll settle down in an hour or two.

News app confirmed to be in 9.1 here in the UK

If you guys paid more attention to your torrent program, you'd notice that your 6 plus GM torrent is not healthy. There are no 100% seed and if you check your peers you will probably notice none are more than 13.7% complete.

My speed is near 1.9 meg now and almost done so only really took a couple of hours. I'm moving through the posts right now but does it require an new version of iTunes? Forgive me if I haven't stumbled on the discussion yet.

iOS 9 will have its kinks ironed out much like iOS 8 did.

The only sad thing is that by the time iOS 9 is at its peak in terms of performance, it'll be replaced by iOS X and we'll go round again. For those who want optimal performance, the clear option for now is to stay on iOS 8.4.1.
Sounds like you are stating facts here without any knowledge. So please don't lecture me!

I KNOW! But 'OS X' is a brand name.
so why couldn't iOS X be a brand name? an opportunity to bring their brands into line? I'm not saying it's a given, or even likely. but it would be a lot less strange for Apple to call it X than it would be any other company to call their 10th software iteration 'X', cos of Apple's brand history. so not sure why you think it would be 'nonsense'. I think you're overstating the point a bit. cheerio :D

Give it a rest eh? I made the iOS X comment in passing, while making a general comment about iOS 9 performance and you leapt on it with a factual comment that the next iOS would not be called iOS X. You couldn't help yourself. Stop spitting the dummy because you've made yourself look like a fool by starting an argument over something so trivial. End this. Now.

I just don't think Apple will call it iOS X. What happens to the release after that? OS X is a brand name, and the version is a name. It would more sense for them to just carry on with iOS 10, 11, 12, etc.

Installing the GM on my Air 2 now, wonder if the app delay "bug" will be on that device as well. My iPhone 6 performs fine other than that.

Can someone explain the build number to me.. Beta 5 was 13A4325c and the GM is 13A340.. doesn't that mean its an older builder or am I just reading it wrong? :confused:

I'd be interested to know too
this is probably why after installing the GM it has prompted me to download beta 3 lol. hmm
edit: ah no, even beta 2 was 'higher' than GM. probably more to do with us not knowing their build number system

I hear you, that's another reason I hesitated installing the GM on 8.3 I get excellent battery life on my 6

How the heck did you manage that? I've never seen that kind of battery life on my 6 and I basically have everything disabled and brightness as low as it can go. Though could the rotation lock play a role? I know I'm grasping for straws here but stilll...

Installed 9.0GM on my iPhone 5S. Literally dropped 100% to 92% in less than 15mins doing nothing except flicking through the settings menu.

Installed 9.1 Beta 1. Been about 20mins, still on 100%. Will stick with 9.1 :)

Ha! My torrent just stalled at 99% and dropped to 1.2 k --

Womp womp...I was really hoping for the moving wallpapers. Time was, back when that old coot Steve Jobs was alive, they wouldn't make things like that available across all the devices that could (in Our Reality -- not Jailbroken Reality) support it. It seemed like after he passed, if the phone had the hardware to support it, it would be usable across those devices. And allowing the moving wallpaper on the 6/6Plus as well as the iPads would really unify the entire lineup. They all have the processor/hardware to support it. Hell, even the watch does it so there's no reason why it shouldn't on my phone. Dag nabbit!!

No. I believe they go through letters at the end first. Beta 5 has a "c" at the end, GM does not. They wouldn't release an old build as the GM lol

Any chance that maybe hopefully the lag when touching an app to open is being cause by apps not being updated for iOS 9 yet? If that little half second to second lag persists still after the public release I will remain on 8.4 for the duration of my iPhone 6 ownership! It's maddening!

Wow, they still haven't fixed the blank icons on the updates screen... How hard is this to fix!?

It has oddly passed. Apps are now opening instantly upon tapping the icon.

Very strange!
