Not sure what is "so good" about it on iPhone compared to 8.3, other than a small increase in battery life. IMO, 8.3 JB (and hopefully 8.4) takes the cake over this small update.
I will revert back to 8.4 if a jailbreak comes out for it. I love the new music app.

And you like more on jailbreak and its customise capability.
I like a more stock system, and utilise everything I have at hand though. :p
 
I love messing around with stuff but love Apple. Oh the life of a customiser...
Since apple does not allow you to mess system, your only way may be leaving apple or jailbreak.
For me, I find myself loving testing beta software with no reason. But I don't want to mess up my system. :p

I have used Android before. I loved it too but I prefer iOS.

I may jailbreak.

I'm the same exact way! Ever since learning objective-c development as well as Swift, I don't mind throwing beta software on my phone as long as it's going to function...okay....anything less than okay and I want to throw my phone out of my car!:eek:
 
The fact i refuse to restore to 8.3 for the jailbreak shows how nice iOS 9 is.

I've got my iPhone jailbroken... I'll remain jailbroken on the iPhone, yet.. On the iPad w/ SplitView is definitely keeping me stuck on iOS 9.

Don't see my self restoring to iOS 8.3 when iOS 9 has given me new life for my iPad.

And you have a perfect reason to buy a new phone: This trash doesn't work as I expect! :eek:
 
Would go so far to say that iOS9 is as or less buggy (springboard crashes/restarts) than when iOS8.0 GM got released OTA for the public. IOS9 beta 2 been pretty stable for a second beta.
Had the battery meter stall, and some other bugs but the battery usage is good for a beta.
Backup phone, all your iCloud etc beforehand but works in a main phone. Haven't seen too many apps not work since beta 2 either which is good.
 
I've started too. No major issues either and I already love the new features. I'm not gonna judge performance though, because it's a beta.
And the performance is still not so good for this beta. But battery goes normal is the best ever news for this beta.

Lol, people still jailbreak??
*sheesh!* I'm getting out of touch...
I saw a steep decline in people jailbreaking around iOS 7, as some of the requested features like custom keyboards became available. I work in a phone sales/repair shop & work with a ton of phones daily. I honestly haven't come across a jailbroke one in over a year now. I thought all the script kiddies had gotten bored with it, and Apple made it pretty much pointless.

Oh please...there is still a lot to jailbreak for.

Maybe the only reason this guy doesn't see jailbreak user is because users capable of doing jailbreak would not need him to solve software problems. :D
Hardware issue? Maybe they can un-jailbreak and call for Apple Store to help.

Lol, unless jailbreaking keeps screens from cracking... I doubt it!
I don't know what problems you imagine people go to the cellphone shop with, but trust me they're not anything where my response would be: "oh, I can fix that right up for you sir! let's jailbreak your iPhone!". Lmao...

It also HIGHLY amuses me that you think running a jailbreak makes you tech-savvy!!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! =0)
Ummm.... did you CREATE the jailbreak???? Oh, no...? You just ran a script? Wow!!!!! Anybody able to do that would NEVER need help with software problems... that's some next level tech genius skillz right there. Lolololol.

Well, sorry for any inconvenience. I end up in here.
 
Not if you use iTunes Radio :<

I hope whatever causes this pausing is do to the Apple Music launch and not a software bug, but until then I have Slacker.
 
It's also possible to play an entire round of golf with only a putter. You just have to accept that it may not be the best possible experience.

Battery life is better, and there seem to be less crashes and bugs, but IMO, it's still not a DD candidate - at least in my case. There are stiill a lot of issues to be fixed and many apps won't launch or run properly with iOS 9 beta 2.

Go for it if that's your bend, but I'm still running it only on a test device. YMMV.

For me, I use iTunes Radio occasionally.
However the lack of creating and editing playlist on device is a serious drawback. I hate this.
 
Haha you waited a grand total of 5 minutes.

Very stable in my opinion. Only issues for me are battery (first beta was much much worse), overheating and the occasional bug.
However iBooks crashes if we use the normal way to start it up.
I wonder if we can in fact use many apps with slightly different start up method? Just like what we do using Xcode on el capitan.
