Is it still possible to go back to 8.4.1? Not at all happy with 9.0.2. Battery life is absolutely terrible compared to what I had in 8.4. Miss the good old stable iOS days.

I doubt it at this point. Have you tried restoring the device and setting up as new?

Apple just stopped signing with in the past couple of hours. Your just a tad too late.

iOS 9 has been pretty horrible. My wife complains about the issues every day and she's not even a tech person. If she wasn't on watch OS 2 or could downgrade that, she's put her 6+ back on 8.4.1 too.

What kind of issues is everyone seeing? 9.0.1 on my 6s Plus is running as smooth as butter.

It's pretty good on my 6s plus but my old 6 plus and wife's too, a lot of freezing and lag. We'll see of .2 fixes any of that.

Well battery life is bad compared to 8.41. And UI issues. I think 9.1 PB3 fixed most of my UI issues. Not sure about the battery life though.

It's fine on my 6s Plus. What do you consider bad? Have you checked all your settings and turned background refresh off? Have you toggled off most of system services in location services? Turn off location services for Facebook and Twitter? Do you perhaps use your phone more with the new iOS checking it out?

The latest iOS 9 is great on my 6 Plus. No issues that I have noticed. Battery life is great especially with the addition of low power mode. Everything is smooth.

I'm with OP: battery life on my 6+ has sucked since iOS9 (and 8.4.1 really). 0.1 and 0.2 haven't helped. I wiped the phone clean and restored, but no joy. I have AppleCare+ and an appointment at my local Apple store for Saturday to have the battery replaced. I guess I'm lucky in that these are the first updates on any iPhone that have had a detrimental effect on my device(s).
