Thing is they promised improved performance which was one of the main highlights of the release
It's not horrible. It is less smooth and fluid than iOS 8, whilst Apple promised otherwise. They promised something better and we got something worse.
I simply don't believe that. All the phones in the Apple Store suffer from it, and you're telling me that besides these phones there are perfectly smooth phones out there? If so, why isn't there a single iOS 9 video which is buttery smooth?
Well, stutter and lag is almost everywhere, and completely random.
And when I play some games, this feeling is more than noticeable, just don't serious enough that I want to smash the phone.
Here is an I think good point. iOS 9 stutter and lag is unacceptable not because it is that lag and stutter, not buttery smooth, but this version is the version Apple has promised to improve on performance, on stage, on WWDC. Or Apple think such announcements are nonsense.

Certainly not for all. Many seem to be happy with iOS 9 with lag and stutter non-existent. Seems like the case every September.
Yep. I'm telling you that there are many people who are not having major issues with choppiness and stuttering. I'm telling you that I can compare an iPhone 6 and a 5 right here in my own house and there's no difference in the two I that regard.
Maybe I don't believe you at this point. I think all the symptoms of this supposed lag and frame dropping is psychosomatic. See how easy that is?
And I tested those places and told you it's no happening on my phone and that comparing it to an iPhone 5 side by side there is no difference.
You don't believe any of the videos showed to you? Its all a conspiracy, right?
Video looks just like mine. I see no issues.
I find it interesting that two people have posted videos of their phones (myself included) and we have no lag, yet nobody has commented on that other than you need to see it through this or it has to be 120fps or some other item that does not happen in day to day life. If I need XCode instruments to see what is going on, my life is ****ing boring.
Are there some glitches occasionally? Sure, will they be fixed in the next update? Perhaps. Am I happy with my phone right now? HELL YES!
Sounds like some of you really need to take a step back and re-evaluate the important things in your life or post a video of your perfect phone so others can tear into why it's still choppy and laggy even when it clearly isn't.
I was extending the same sort of logic that applies to this whole type of discussion.I wasn't talking about videos. I was replying to the "I bet 100 dollars the iPad Pro wouldn't stutter" that was said.
Going off all the logic of 8.4.1 > 9.0.2/9.1 then the iPad Pro will most definitely stutter too, since it's a iOS 9 issue and not hardware.

Yeah, we get it, that part wasn't really delivered in the x.0 release so far. It doesn't make it for a horrible or bad release though. It does make it so that it's not all that better in some respects.
So what now, we have dozens of threads repeating same thing page after page because that will make things better or change anything?
Because there are but people who believe there are issues will still see them somewhere no matter what. Just like those people believe that people who aren't having issues are just not noticing them.
Of course I do. I'm showing you what you guys look like when we tell you we aren't having problems and even post videos. You just tell us we are but we aren't keen enough to see it like you are. It's ridiculous.
Pulling down on the home screen to open spotlight definitely lags and this lag did not occur in 8.4.1.
The keyboard rotation is comical at best. Won't be fixed until there is a massive SoC performance increase. But that is ridiculous in itself. An alleged desktop class SoC can't rotate a keyboard smoothly.

People perceive lag like they taste wine. Some notice the difference, while others are completely oblivious to any change.
So some people use Xcode to prove the drop in framerate. Does that mean the drop is otherwise perceivable or that you also need to read the label in order to move beyond "it tastes like wine I suppose"?

So some users see this. Same thing has happened with iOS 8 and iOS 7 initial releases. It doesn't affect everyone, and with iOS 9 the issues are less widespread and less severe overall. What are we trying to prove here? Something that has been known for years now?
It does effect everyone, some people just don't care or notice. iOS devices are using the same exact software, its not going to magically only lag for half users and not the other half.
So this is where the discussion goes around in circles. Since this can't be proven either way for the masses, posts have to be taken at face value. Many different devices, different configurations, different app mix etc.
It won't magically do it, it will just do it realistically.
I must have been updating all my devices to iOS 9 the "wrong" way then.
Im talking about the same device (eg. iPhone 6) running iOS 9. Apps have nothing to do with the animation lag throughout the OS.
When apps are running in the background i will see lag. Such as, when restoring from back up and apps are being restored there is very little free CPU cycles to cope with multitasking. This has been the case for years.
I once saw an iOS 9 alert asking me if I want App X to continue to work in the background. This occurred despite having background refresh turned off.
There are some areas that consistently lag. Other areas that sometimes lag. I had enough of 9.0.2 and I'm using the latest 9.1 beta. Much better. I don't know if it's either updated apps or Apple finally getting their junk together.
Apps can have a noticeable impact on system operation.
I still have an old first generation iPad, had too many apps registered to notification center, and the UI response slowed to the point the home button wouldn't respond half the time.
Once I cleared notification center (since I only really use it to watch videos now), it ran a lot better.
