So turns out iOS 9 is actually laggy

Oh yes they did. From apple.com: "Under-the-hood refinements bring you more responsive performance, easier updates, better battery life, and tighter security. So your device works that much better — for everything you do with it."
Hello, I'm new here.
I also have feeling that my iphone 6 is bit slower and laggy on ios 9. It's not that big deal and some normal user wouldn't even notice it probably... but it really bothers me and I have just downgraded to ios 8.4.1 and I can really see the difference, it's much smoother experience.
I'll wait for 9.1 and hope it gets better.

Can we still go back? I was out with friends yesterday and switching to camera, taking photos, showing photos, etc really lags now. It really made the phone look bad because of the lag and occasional lockup. I'm on the 6 plus and it seriously is giving me performance issues everywhere. Simple games also lag now...
The 6+ performed badly on the version of iOS that it came with and it was always going to have longevity issues. No way will a new version of iOS make that phone run anything but worse.
Interesting (and sucks for 6 Plus owners). I wonder what's causing the 6 Plus to lag. Sorry to hear that.
The big miss with Android phones is you have too many hands in the pot.
You have a company that makes the phone/hardware (LG, Samsung, etc.), you have a company that makes the OS (Google), and you have a company that provides the service and usually skins the hell out of the original OS (Sense/etc)
My biggest issue is if something ever breaks, aka things are extremely laggy whose problem is it and who is supposed to fix it... is it the hardware not playing nice with the new OS that google put out? Is it the Skins that's not playing nice with the OS. There are just too many equations out there. I don't like it...
At least with Apple, they make the hardware, they make the software and there are NO skins that come on the OS. if there's a problem, you take it into an Apple store and they figure out the problem.
Everything you said is exactly why I prefer the iPhone. But some people don't mind rooting their phone and taking matters into their own hands. Me personally, I just want to know that my phone will work and like you mentioned, the Apple Store has been excellent to me when it comes to fixing hardware issues. But people have different priorities, and Android may be a better match for those people.
I might have stumbled upon something that gets rid of most or all of the lag. I have a 6+.
I slid the Reduce Transparency slider to ON and messed around with my Apps, Notification Center, etc. I then set Reduce Motion to ON. Same thing, I just tooled around iOS for a bit with both ON. I then set Reduce Motion to OFF and slid Reduce Transparency to OFF and bingo, no more lag!!
I've tried everything to get it to lag, pulling down spolight, opening tons of apps in the app switcher. I've seen that the jerky lag before, so I know what it looks like. It's much, much smoother now and dare I say fast!
Happy days are here again!
Try it out! YMMV.

I have a theory, y'all... iOS 9 has 3d touch support. Just like how when you alter the double and triple click speed in Accessibility, and it increases the time it takes for one home button press to register, perhaps this is why iOS 9 has that slight pause before registering an app opening.
Clearly you are just thinking you are not noticing it anymore and nothing in reality changed since everyone has the same problems that are just inherent in iOS 9.I might have stumbled upon something that gets rid of most or all of the lag. I have a 6+.

As crazy as I thought this sounded, I tried it in your order and it seemed to work for me. Go figure but thanks!
