They should check the refurbished devices better and not like a small company. Apple is a really big company, their product control shouldn't be bad like that.
My refurbished device was perfect from day one. 6 replacements is a very high number. I would venture to say that's not the norm.
 
Go to calls list and scroll.

Here is one that is driving me nuts o_O

Open Safari to a main news page. I scroll through the news and select several items of interest and open them in New Tabs. Until I select the New Tab, the title of the tab just says "Favorites" and doesn't load in the background. If I wait too long, it just "forgets" the link and opens to a blank page. :confused:

Did I turn something off I shouldn't have or .... ? Maybe it's a new feature!!! :cool:
 
That ship has sailed, fixed in 9.1.
Something tells me, that no matter how much iOS 9 improves, we we'll always have a post that will spot the tiniest bit of lag. I can't wait for beta 4 or the final, so the whole cycle starts again. Woohoo! ;)
 
Quick update: I tried first with reduced transparency and reduced motion. But I hated the look of it an hell, I refuse to have to turn down the OS on a less than one year old device.
Then I tried to force reboot it (read that somewhere that it could help - hold home and on/off button until screen goes black and the Apple logo shows), well it looks like this has made a difference. No lag what so ever when scrolling through recent call lists etc. I am still holding by breath but my iPhone6 seems to be faster now :)

I wish reduce transparency was not so ugly!! The folders just become the most ugly thing ever. Surely they could sample the background when you turn reduce transparency on and make the folder colour match... iOS 7 before 7.1 used to do something like this.

So perhaps one of the big longstanding bugs is the install of the upgrade, the installation does not clear old error code bit just leave it to corrupt everything.

Only on old devices.ipad Pro and 6S are flawless
 
I scrolled on my friends 6S running 9.0.2 and it stuttered when slowing down the scroll. I'll leave the benefit of the doubt for 9.2, or that you're in the camp of those who can't see the stuttering.
9.1 fixes that lag

I agree. Reduce transparency post iOS 7.1 was frustrating. The change also affected , the dock, and the folder colors too. Before 7,1, reduce transparency did not cause all of these to turn the ugly silver (with black text) that it does post iOS 7.1. (I always carry black backgrounds on my devices and, with reduce motion, the UI looks uglier!)

However, now with reduce transparency, introduces that ugly silver dock and, the folders turn from a grey background with white text to a silver background with black text! This is the only downside I have to iOS 7.1.x!
 
I've read a few posts were folks were saying the Mini 2's were having issues.

I don't understand how experiencs vary, but they do. In my case, my 6+ and Air 2 are doing wonderfully on b3. My wife's 5s is the same, it's running great. Her iPad 4 was not running smoothly on iOS 9.1. On b3, it's seen a huge jump in smoothing out iPad 4. Still needs work, but it's now acceptable in the animation department.

I've concentrated on reporting animation issues in detail on all the devices, because I believe they are focusing on smoothing things out in this beta run. From 9.1 to 9.2b3, on my devices, smoothness is night and day. My 6+ and Air 2 have never been better.

My Mini 2 will freeze up completely for more than 5 or 6 seconds. I've done the reboot bit, closing unused applications, etc, no change in results. And I've even noticed the freezing on an iPhone 5 that has been repurposed for nothing other than a Pandora player that uses AirPlay to feed audio into my Apple TV (2nd gen) and home theater system.

Being the Mini 2 is 64-bit and was working well before the upgrade to 9.1, I can only surmise that this is software-induced. Now, do I hate Apple for this? No, but I can certainly state that it seems they've gone from occasionally dropping the ball to making a consistent habit of it.

Sluggish device response from iOS upgrades are what motivated me to move from my iPhone 3G to the first of several Android devices back in early 2010. I liked the display on my Galaxy but other than that, it lost any appeal when new Android OS releases failed to make their way to the device (I was on Sprint back then.)

I'm far too invested into the Apple ecosystem here at home, so I'm not leaving Apple, but I have to pause sometimes and ask "Seriously, WTF Apple?"

I watched this video without sound as I do all videos of this ilk and see if I can discern a point to the video. I couldn't.

He posts a lot of video. Waiting for something positive, but don't think that's ever coming. ;)
