I don't know what everybody is raving about here. I did a clean install on my iPhone 6 and I still have lag in the messages app when bringing up the standard keyboard after start up, there is also lag in the message animations initially. There is lag when scrolling in some settings menus and lag when opening the proactive search screen initially.

Once committed to memory these actions are smooth but it shouldn't lag/stutter in the first place.

Thought this whole iOS 9 thing was a maintenance release and was supposed to be an improvement on iOS 8. Well, it's not and all I've gotten are needless features like a proactive search screen which only populates with apps and contacts, a news app which doesn't work in my country and lag in certain elements of the UI which didn't exist before.

As far as I'm concerned there is really nothing to be happy about. I bet the experience is smooth on the iPhone 6S though due to the RAM upgrade.


Indeed. I still notice lag as well. There is really no excuse for it. iOS 9 doesn't seem to add any new graphical effects or add a bunch of new background processes, so why has performance degraded? It should run at least as smooth as iOS 8 did on the 6 and blaze on the S models.

One major positive with this release though is it appears Apple finally fixed my problem with bluetooth audio glitching/cutting out while playing mp3's. Finally, my $850 phone can play music correctly.

Re: Apple servers slow!!!

I also prefer to update via iTunes, it does an auto back up to my computer prior to commencing the update. Nice insurance to have. I performed my update via iTunes and I'm in Thailand, it completed in less than 30 minutes. However the Apple servers have been slowing down, it took me more than a day to get the 6 GB El Capitan upgrade on my iMac.

Before I update my Apple devices, I make sure I sync them first before letting them update. Just something I've been doing since my first iPhone.

So far I have had my iPhone 6 Plus reboot itself once and my voice mail would not function until I restarted the phone myself. Cannot say at this point that I am really excited about this release. :(

Visual Voicemail is a carrier dependent feature. Rebooting your phone probably resolved a whole bunch of network issues besides Visual Voicemail.

How is this a great release when the iCloud restore bugs that have plagued the iPhone 6s since launch still have not been fixed? I can't restore from any iCloud backup. Spoke to apple support and followed their poor advice and deleted all my backups and restored my phone as new and the same problems persist. I initiate a iCloud restore and it gets stuck at the white apple logo screen. I then have to turn the phone off and on to get it to continue and it won't restore messages, notes or health data. Health app won't register anything going forward also. Multiple built in apps won't have the 3D touch support they are supposed to have. Now I need to make iTunes backups after I've already restored as new. It's the only way for me to have any reliable backup right now. I'm not the only person experiencing this either. My girlfriends 6s exhibits some of the most of the same issues during a iCloud restore and there are multiple threads on Apple's support community website as well.

Yeah when I was habitually switching between platforms, I'd always have to call Verizon to get my visual voicemail straightened out on my iOS device!

I am aware of that. Still doesn't take away from the fact it wouldn't work until I restarted the device.

A hard reset (restart) works for many things. Your iPhone is a tiny computer. As such, it will, at times, require a reboot. That's normal. Enjoy your phone!

First time it happened for me, that's all. Recently I feel that iOS updates cause me more grief than good. Still enjoy it though. I may restore it if problems continue.

Mods, why hasn't my previous post approved yet? I used no derogatory language and noted a very serious bug with iOS 9 and the iPhone 6s that has been present since launch and Apple STILL hasn't fixed with iOS 9.1. I provided links from Apple's support community and imores forum site itself.

More than likely because no one saw it. We are volunteers and are not always online so please be patient. Thank you. We will get to it when we get to it.

I deleted all my prior backs ups and restored as new losing a lot of data in the process. I re-downloaded apps and now have to back up to iTunes to have any back up that can actually be used. Apple really needs to fix this issue. First it was iPhone 6s users getting stuck at the slide to update screen and now this. There is more info that apparently isn't restored through iCloud restores such as call data according to one of the threads I linked. It's quite ridiculous.

Oh, and how could I forget. Another bug with the iCloud restore on the 6s is many apps that are downloaded during the restore are broken. They're not grey so they are downloaded. But as soon as you press a app it flashes and then immediately crashes. You'd have to delete the app and re-download it for it to operate properly.

How to do a fresh install? Do I have to restore the device as new first and then proceed with the upgrade in iTunes? Or first update the device and then do a fresh restore in iTunes.

Put the device in either recovery or DFU mode to have iTunes download and install a fresh copy of the latest iOS version.

When the process is complete, I recommend you set up the device as new, but I understand that it's an inconvenience to many people, therefore, you can opt to restore from your most recent backup, if you'd like.

I hate that so many people are having issues. I updated my 6s, 6s plus & mini 2 and haven't hat any issues. All devices are running extremely smooth....couldn't be happier because 9.0.2 was terrible.
