How do you figure that out? Just because they stopped signing it doesn't change the fact that they released iOS 9.0 first.
Got a tip for us?

Still really jittery for me. Animations are still all over the map in regards to consistency. Closing out of safari there is quite a bit of lag or it just hangs for a second then the springboard appears. Music is really slow to open and load.
It acts like there are thousands of apps running and it can't process everything.
Maybe next time Apple, you fired and missed....again

They still haven't fixed the landscape issue. If I turn the phone on while it thinks it is sideways, all the apps start out landscape. I have to hit the sleep/power button, make sure the phone is vertical and turn it back on again. This bug has been here since 8.3, and I hate it.
Assume you have rebooted and tried it again? If that didn't resolve it I would be tempted to run the settings>general>reset>reset all settings. Of course you will have to run back through your settings getting them like you want, re-associate all wifi networks, and reset your preferred wallpaper but most likely it will solve it. All your apps and data will remain intact. Easy enough to do.
I didn't have a lot of stutter, however I have noticed improved motion when using App Switcher and swiping to the Proactive screen. It's def smoother.
You have to give it a charging cycle or 2. I've always seen bad battery after an update, but always improves after a cycle or 2.
I was going to say that my battery was significantly worse today compared to yesterday on 9.0.1 (and I deleted the Facebook App), but I will take your advice and give it a cycle or 2.
One thing I've noticed is that the News app has appeared on my UK iPhone 6S+! Weirdly, it wasn't there straight away, but I reset the phone as an app had frozen whilst being downloaded, and low and behold there it is! Not complaining!
Update - it just vanished! I had set it all up and read a few stories. I then locked the phone. When I opened it, it vanished before my eyes! Not making this up I promise!!
You have a good point. Maybe "indexing" is a misused word. Maybe caching would be more appropriate.
I am not an IOS expert in anyway, so correct me if I am wrong with my following understanding: In Itunes, when you look at your device storage usage, you will see an "other" amount. If you do a itunes restore, and then restore your old data on top of the fresh ios install, you will notice the "other" amount shrinks - I have cleaned up 1 - 3 GB of storage this way. As we know, the "other" portion contains cached or indexed information about individual apps, maybe also ios specific data. When you do an ios upgrade of your device, especially doing a restore from itunes, you are basically wiping your device free of the cache or "other". Then you restore your previous backup on top of the fresh ios install and now all the cached info for all your apps are missing on your device - only the basic settings and configuration remain. So now whenever you open up the app or some settings for the first few times, it has to rebuild that base cache/indexing portion - thus a lag. That will happen initially, but once the cache or "other" portion has been built up by regularly visiting those apps or pages, the apps now have info cached away and the lag disappears.

For some strange reason apps open to a black screen and when I'm in settings, the arrow to back out of a particular setting vanishes leaving me trapped. It's very strange and have never seen this behavior in 7 years of using iOS. Hoping it's not the phone itself. I'm using a 6s Plus 128 GB model.
Doesn't work with specific voices, that's didn't happen when I got the 6s it only worked with my voice
Have a 6 Plus (AT&T 64GB) that I am testing 9.0.2 on.
The stutter on Safari is better and I am seeing less issue on intensive pages.
However, I have had a couple of pages "blow up" on me - tab just closes. Didn't see that on 9.0.1 or 9.0.0
Will be digging a bit deeper.
Apple published an acknowledgement yesterday that 9.0.2 fixed it for some folks but not for everybody.
I dont see anything differend on my air2. Wifi still sucks (2,4ghz). yesterday i had to toggle wifi on every 30min or so - not loading, spinning... They should finally fix the wifi they broke during ios 8.3/8.4... Before that there wasnt any problem, after these updates (tried fixing wifi for some customers), they broke more...
Pinch to close apps doesnt still work well... (Came after ios 9)
And this whole mess makes me rethink about buying 6s plus - wifi is obviously broken when using 5ghz band...

Seeing a noticeable decline in battery life on 6S without any changes and same usage. Nothing battery stats indicate why. Sucks.
Perhaps because we have a tendency to use our phones more immediately after an update causes the battery to discharge quicker than we're used to.
No. This is from 100% charge this morning and some usage while at work. I updated last night and it charged overnight. There's definitely something going on but nothing looks wrong in battery settings.
