Someone noticed that proactive on Apple Music don't appear anymore when the earpod are connected?
It does make it super fast but try it off again and it should still be super quick.
All the stutters come back when reduce transparency is turned off. I always keep it on
Well I tested out the settings fix on my wife's iPhone 6. Turned both settings to "on" and then "off" and did a restart. Definitely see the diff on search spotlight and app switcher!
I'm still not updating my Plus to 9 because I don't like the app switcher compared to the old one and I'm not a fan on the Siri change! When I hold the home button to activate Siri I start to talk and only after I start to talk does the verbiage come up "what can I help you with" which screws up me talking... Probably a bug but still. 8.4.1 is super solid so I'm hanging onto it for a while!
Great find on the fox though!!!

Reset my 5c and setup as new just to see if the delay on lock screen remained. Gone so far. Will monitor tho.
I too am having MAJOR issues. Overall, the iOS is neither noticeably faster nor slower for me...however, I'm getting TERRIBLE lock ups.
It seems to be something with the keyboard. It will work all day just fine, then I'll get a text, go to response by clicking the text box...but the keyboard never opens. It completely locks the message app. I've tried turning off spotlight suggestions, deleting anything but the english keyboard, deleted all messages in the message app, etc.
I can't purposely replicate the issue, but it always starts with issues in the message app which then translates into issues with the entire device.
I've got the 6 plus on iOS 9 with like 39gb free. And it's not indexing, I've had iOS 9 on the phone since the morning it came out.

I did a OTA update then did fresh install of iOS 9. I get a frame rate drop still in multitasking. It also takes about a second to open multitasking when I double click my home button. Apps take a half a second or so open once I tap them. Things seem just a tad bit slower. Using a 6 Plus. iPad Air 2 works just fine.
There are a few methods that have been disused in a few threads here about doing that kind of change.
Okay so, from what I've been reading here, iOS 9's "fix" for the lag has been working on iPhone 6+'s. Is anyone trying this fix for the 6? I updated to iOS 9 a while back and it was irking me how annoying the lag was. I ended up just going back to 8.4.1.
So basically, iOS is a bunch of crap 50% of the time each year from September to February. What a joy.
For a few people. For more it's not great but not necessarily bad during that time.
If you experience lag and stuttering on the 9.1 beta then you will most likely get a similar experience with the public release. I would recommend that you downgrade to 8.4.1 until upcoming patches releases with more smoothness to the device.
Just downgrade to 8.4.1. It's so much faster. 9.0 is just as laggy as 9.1 beta so far.
But hurry, hurry. The window to downgrade is closing.
Mine was running with a bit of lag on my Mini 3. So I tried a suggestion from another forum to reset all settings (Not all content and settings). Then I setup all my settings again and so far I haven't had a single bit of lag since.
My iPad 3 feels a ton more fluid to be honest. There's a slight bit of buffering before animations, but they complete far more smoothly than on ios8. Which I'd rather have.
It really worked!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.
Thanks man!
One question, how long did you mess around with apps and notification center?

You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Not that long at all. I turned those features on and off in that order.
It did. Worth a try.
My 6+ is much better. Got rid of the real jerky animations. Love iOS 9, simply for the fact Safari does not crash. It crashed regularly in 8.4.1.
I started a thread here and some said it helped. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/see-if-this-helps-with-your-ios-9-lag.1918745/
