I prefer dark backgrounds. Reduced transparency gives me a white dock bar at the bottom. I'm on 8.2 so not sure if that has changed but it's hideous.
Got a tip for us?

It still does that in 9.1 for better or worse. I have a medium background so it's not so bad for me.
Glad it helped!
After doing this I had to restart my wife's 5s, because spotlight search was blurred. Her 5s is now running much smoother. I did it on my iPad Air 2as well. It was fast already, so it couldn't hurt!
Then don't update. Seriously, i don't see a reason to update the iphone, it will run slower than on 8.4.1 and there's no killer feature like on the Air 2 where you get side-by-side multitasking.
It's actually better. Take it from me. I am one of the guys that started one of the lag threads. This definitely helps for some strange reason.
Worked for me on 6 Plus.Yup, it worked for me and SCJR and myself solved the lag issue.

Super smooth again!!! Try it, it worked for my iPhone 6 Plus and my wife's. Both had major lag before.
IPad Air 1 did not have these issues.
I've always noticed the lag on the 6+ from the beginning. Reduce Transparency always has helped bigtime. I never put on "reduce motion". It does not seem to help make it any better. Turning both on and then off did nothing more. On the 9.1 beta the 6+ is just fine with reduce transparency on as the only change
It does not look good when reduced but doesn't matter, you change it back and everything runs smooth and looks normal. Told a friend and it fixed their lag too!
I downgraded to ios 8.4.1 yesterday and I wanted to try this with turning reduce motion and reduce transparency on, I just thought to give it a shot... and I restored my iphone and did clean install of ios 9 and it seems that it solved my problem. No more lagg or stutter. So, for those of you who did not do clean install maybe they should try this.
Same here. Plus Safari is tons better in iOS 9 and with no more jerky animations, happy days.
Jayson A commented earlier that it was much better for him as well and he vocal about the lag. I think it's worth a try to see if it helps
As an iOS software developer I cant really think of a way this fix works. But it does. Big thanks!!! (5s and 5)
Not much of a difference here on my iPhone 6. Control center still has that weird like slight 40-50fps stutter across the entire system that sort of irks me and scrolling past the home screen in the app switcher is still causing little issues. However spotlight now looks quite interesting.
