Apple Seeds First iOS 9.2 Beta to Developers

Ever since I updated to iOS 9.1, my iPad Air and iPhone 6 has felt noticeably slower. The multitasking view animation is always laggy as hell on the iPad Air and somehow battery life got shorter on the iPhone 6.

Not interested in updating any further unless these updates can restore the speed of my devices.

Hoping they fix the lag on my 6 Plus.

Although I believe Apple has no interest in doing so and this is all part of their planned obsolesce.

Apple's strategy actually requires that prior models retain value! This enables the high initial phone price and the continual trade ups each year, and this ensures the massive iTunes/App store marketplace with relatively cheap app prices (vs hardware). That innovation and marketplace dynamic is what sets Apple apart.

When I had a prior model, updates improved speed. Initial software launch was for new hardware, but then subsequent updates were for optimization across all models. I have heard similarly from friends and colleagues over the years.

By contrast, planned obsolescence is exactly why Android's software upgrades require customers to buy new hardware .. or else do without.

The reason doesn't matter and is not worth discussing, imo.

We know for a fact that the iPhone 6 and 5s perform worse with iOS 9.1 than 8.4.1. If this is deliberate, that is worrisome. If it's not deliberate, it means Apple is somehow incapable of improving or maintaining performance of older devices, which is worrisome as well. Either way, it's bad.

Long tapping on the Reload button in the Safari View Controller will also offer options to reload content without content blockers and request desktop site, as in Safari.
