iOS 9.2 (Beta 1) Bug Fixes, Changes and Performance Adjustments

[Radon87000]

But doesn't everyone have the same issues and it's just some people that are not noticing them or don't care about them?

Every iPhone 5 performs the same.6 will perform differently as different hardware.Not to mention iPhone 5 has fewer pixels to push than iPhone 6

I didn't think there would be any improvements in performance in this beta either, but they're definitely there.

1) App Switcher used to slightly stutter when animating back from the top most app (i.e. launch app switcher and then immediately go back to previous app or home screen). This has been fixed.
2) Rotation bug (either stuck in portrait or need to do various forms of voodoo to get 6s+ to rotate on home screen). This has been fixed.
3) 3D Touch laggy on 6s+. This has been improved, although not quite as smooth as a 6s.
4) Spotlight, Notification Center and Control Center are pretty fluid now.

I'd expect the GM to have some pretty solid additional improvements.

Regarding the 3D Touch, do you have a 6s to compare with? I'm seeing a MASSIVE improvement on my 6s+. It now performs identically with reduce transparency on/off for 3D Touch menus.

Edit: Ok, maybe not identically, but it's VERY close. I'd guess it's almost 60 fps. We're getting there. Keep submitting feedback, everyone. It's our only hope for improvement, and it's obviously made a difference. 9.2b1 is so much smoother than 9.1.

All of my music is missing, which is a huge bummer.

Less pixels but with a rather less powerful CPU and GPU which balances it out and makes that type of a point rather moot.

In addition ios 9 on iPhone 5 lacks many features of ios 9 on iphone 6

restrictions menu is not translated correctly..written like unicode style..

Gotta say. 9.2 is working great. Opening and closing apps, going in and out of the apps switcher and opening apps from the app switcher. I like that it scrolls faster when going back towards the home screen in case you missed the app you where looking for.

Dragging down spotlight is still really bad and the occasional stutter is still there when doing anything. But I like using my iPhone 6 again. Air 2 is a little bit better in the same areas but I noticed the biggest difference on my 6.

I don't have apple developer account. If anybody can make a feedback about that amateur fault, I'll be very pleased

You can have a free developer account for things like big reporting.

Can Apple Feedback do the same job with Apple developer account / feedback section ?

If you create a free Dev account you can submit feedback/bug reports at bugreport.apple.com - this remains the best method.

I tried reproducing your settings search issue but can't. I'm wondering if the root cause of the these weird UI alignment issues can be traced back to one or two bugs?

I agree with you 100%

I've seen this happen in many different places. This happens much less often now. It's the type of bug that refused to die.

So 9.2 fixes the frame rate issues?

 

[Michael Goff]

Many features?

It lacks the ability to lag and stutter like the 6+ can?

Not completely. Music app and Spotlight search are still iffy on iPad Air 2.

Yeah that works too. I have received feedback from Apple from bugs reported through feedback app. Bug reporting website works too with just your appleID.
