Difference is lag may be there.You just can't see it because of higher tolerance.Crashes can't be avoided

iOS 9 vs iOS 8.4.1 unresponsiveness due to input-blocking

If I had to prioritize the bad stuff; crashes are worse than lag stutter; which is why iOS 8 wasn't great but didn't kill my phone.
Both are important.Its no use if fluidity is completely sacrificed for stability.
By subjective I mean it's there.He either can't see it or is trolling.The hardware is the same.So if it lags on one iPhone 6 the other iPhone 6's also have to lag
So by that same logic if one phone crashes and restarts randomly then another one should too, right?
Yes. If they're both fresh installs to rule out any bad apps or configuration. However, the iPhone 6 lags on 9.1 freshly installed so therefore every iPhone 6 with a fresh install of 9.1 will be exactly the same.
what about accidental-double-tap ?
I think they are going to improve the situation, if many people complains about it, in the future revisions of iOS 9, but some design choices will remain untouched.
I was starting to like you posts, until you wrote how "beautiful and responsive" the Samsung S6 is ... the famous LagWiz UI.
Lol, I won't touch another Samsung's phone even if they give me one for free.
I could say the same for every people doing the opposite spending their time on an Apple centric forum when they basically hate everything Apple is doing.
I'm under the impression someone else is trolling the forum here....
I admit I haven't used it much, but it was consistently responsive in the home screen app test where iOS9 fails, that's quite beautiful after all the frustration I'm going through with iOS9. You might be right about the rest, I don't know enough to say.
Touchwiz on a Galaxy S6 is not the same as it used to be.You should give it a try some time.Speed and Responsiveness matches and sometimes exceeds the iPhone and the screen is much more beautiful
Being on an Apple centric forum does not mean we all have to behave like fanboys

But somehow it means expecting unrealistic perfection and believing that it was there at some point when it never really was?
This unrealistically perfect performance existed at some point of time on my iPhone 6.Watch some 8.4.1 vs 9.0 YouTube videos.You will see what I mean
It wasn't perfect that's the point. It was better in one aspect that has been your focus for the moment with iOS 9, but it certainly wasn't perfect nonetheless.
Only speaking in terms of UI frame rate, fluidity and performance, 8.3 was best (on my iPhone 6). 8.4 comes in second best because of the stupid Music app that made the phone a bit laggy if you left it open for too long, but it was only for a few seconds and was remedied by quitting Music.app.
Now perhaps 7 was better, but as you know, iOS 7 wasn't on the iPhone 6, so the only thing I can compare my iPhone 6 on is iOS 8 and iOS 9.
So in conclusion, my iPhone 6 performed best on 8.3 and therefore 9 is worse in every performance aspect. Also, I think iOS 8 was less glitchy too.
Tried. It's the same awful experience. Samsung can't make a decent UI.
The only Android device I would touch is a Nexus.
Dont even think about upgrading iPhone 6 to any iOS beyond 8.4.1.Its an unpleasant experience.Believe me
So you agree there has been a performance degradation but "fast enough" is good enough
I agree that some people are experiencing issues.
It must be pretty bad to see any commercials or ads for anything since marketing often doesn't represent reality.Just look at this BLATANT lie.I LOL everytime I see this
Have you ever seen this kind marketing by Apple before though ? Apple is usually spot on for delivering what they advertise. They aren't selling 3 dollar Big Macs here , lol.
I love you guys, I really do. At this point I'm more interested in seeing how long a group of people can be involved in an endless, pointless discussion.
On topic, I upgraded to iOS 9. The input animation glitch with Reduce Motion enabled is annoying, as I usually keep animations off. Hopefully Apple fixes this in a future update. It looks like the input delay is matched to stock animations and not the quicker fade animation. Surprised Apple hasn't addressed this yet.
Keeping my iPad on iOS 8, as its jailbroken. Once I demo an iPad Air on iOS 9 in person I'll decide if I want to upgrade for iOS 9's few features. This is, of course, assuming Apple will fix this glitch.
