The reality is IOS 9 is overall better than IOS 8, maybe not in every nook and cranny and corner, but starting with safari which is my biggest use case.
Sorry, I just follow this thread, but I couldn't just read past this comment. You're telling me your perception of better is reality? Bruh, I'll use your own argument against you.
"Right, for your device and the way you use your device. In the end the way it appears on the screen over the whole experience is what matters. If it were that bad and all that, we would all know it."
You just said yourself in that post that your opinion-based 'better' is based off of Safari improvements. Does it look like iOS 9 = Safari only? Others here are contributing on the lag and stutters on other apps you don't use and don't care about. Why do you even bother to chime in?
This is like someone talking how their coffee tastes bad because they think they added the wrong amount of sugar, cream or milk and you come in saying they're wrong because your burger tastes great.... What?...
