Tried hard to replicate this so I tested Windows central with Safari on an iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus (with 9.3 beta), iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini 2 all on iOS 9.2 and on an Pad Pro. Silky smooth scrolling on the main page and in articles. Tested on wifi and 3/4G.
iOS 9 stutters. Don't start a discussion every time. All the demo phones at the Apple Store do as well. Has been discussed and proven to be true many times. Don't go there.
Please stop with these mass generalizations. We know iOS 9 is not perfect, as iOS 8 was not perfect. But it is not the lag and stutter fest as is portrayed in a number of these posts.
We are talking about the degree at this point. It seems that the video that was posted shows stutter to a degree that not everyone experiences.
It's rather simple. No one said its only you that can have worse issues than some others, as there can be others with similar degrees of issues, but there are also others that don't have issues that are anywhere close to the degree in which they are showing up for you. A fairly simple rational concept that is actually proven over and over by many threads in forums like this one where often enough people will bring up issues they have while many others have never even heard of those issues let alone experienced them. Now questioning that rather basic and given reality would certainly bring up "are you for real?" type of question.
You seriously expect me to believe that Google,Microsoft,Facebook all don't know how to optimise for iOS 9?Thats BS.I just have 6S in front of me and it is NOT stuttering as badly on that device.Its scrolling like how my iPhone 6 used to scroll on 8.4.1 .This sounds to me more like Apple exercises planned obsolescence on older devices as even Safari has slight scroll stutter
Clearly the only plausible explanation is planned obsolescence. Fits nicely with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation
As I said earlier,Safari has much less scroll stutter but it's still not perfect as it used to be in 8.4.1 .
the problem is when you bring chrome into the equation we can't guarantee that iOS is causing the problems.
Extra work using technology that is getting outdated for Apple. It's like creating something new website with the latest technology and then spending time making sure it also works on Internet Explorer 6.0 that is outdated by today's standards (despite the fact that there are people using it still). Basically it's something that happens quite a bit as technology progresses and isn't anything out of the ordinary.
I use WeBlock as I use Chrome only on WiFi.It blocks ads throughout the OS.Mercury and Dolphin are not available on Windows and Mac
Did an interesting test over the weekend.
Background: wife has a simless 64GB 5S that she uses on wifi running 8.4.1. Mostly photos, games like Smurfs and Hay Day plus email etc... My daughter's 5 is suffering from screen separation and we are giving her the 5S.
What I did: I took the wife's 5S and updated it to 9.2 by backing up, updating and restoring. I did not tell her I was updating, just backing up and restoring to get rid of the "Other" creep.
What happened: My wife got the phone back and I asked her to check it to make sure all was okay. She comes back in a few hours later and wanted to know "What did you do to my phone? It's a lot slower than before." Did not mention stutter, lag or anything else, just the speed. This was her initial impression after having owned the phone for over a year.
Was an interesting response. I was expecting a complaint on a game failing, something not being smooth, or an app not running properly. The device is unlocked and she does not use any passcode or touch id.

However there are a lot of 32-bit iDevices out there.
There are quite a few, but less and less given that Apple has been releasing mostly 64-bit devices for a while and hasn't been selling 32-bit iPhones or iPads for some time.Did an interesting test over the weekend.

I am not surprised.It would take a really bad eyesight to NOT notice the huge stutter iOS 9 has compared to 8.4.1. 9.3 does bridge the gap somewhat but it will be time to buy the S7/7 by the time iOS 9 finally (if) reaches 8.4.1 levels of performanceDid an interesting test over the weekend.

And we are back to effectively calling people blind. Yup, not surprising indeed.
