Apple Seeds Second iOS 9.1 and tvOS Betas to Developers

Sometimes there would be a little lag switching between home screens or when opening an app it would take a second to open. Now I open an app and its under a second before opening even apps that I haven't previously opened. Control panel and the notification shade are also fast and smooth.

Hopefully this is with the 6 Plus as well.
 
Now if they incorporate a toggle for disabling apples stock apps, we would be getting somewhere. And whats with the (yawn) emoji stuff? How about concentrating on the performance and stability thing!
There, I have vented for the day!

Tim Cook said the ability to hide or delete stock apps was coming in an interview a few weeks ago but the way he said it suggests it is not coming any time soon and not for iOS 9. I'd set the expectation of this to be something for iOS 10.

They're working on performance/stability, iOS 9.1 is faster than iOS 9 for sure for me on iPad Air 2.

The whole thing with emoji is just overblown because that's all people can see changes between iOS betas, the performance and everything else is under the hood, so you can't see it right off the bat.

Hoping this fixes my continued terrible battery life and heat issues...it probably won't.

Not likely. I had the same issue on my iPhone 5S, I had to do a clean install and it fixed everything for me. I suspected whatever was corrupted was carried over to new betas as well.

If you have the same issue, you won't see this fixed by Apple. You may have to do a clean install.

Problem: I had 9.1 Beta 1, but no Beta 2 update appeared.

Solution: I deleted my developer profiles, and performed two-button hard reset. Beta 2 appeared :)

The question is, are you able to downloaded? like others, I am getting a 'Software Update Failed" error

Just for kicks, I put the back the profile and then its says that 9.1 is the current version.

Any ideas....

-----------------
May have been a network issue - after a couple of reboots, I was able to download and installed in about 2 minutes.

I'm running the 9.1 Beta 1 (13B5110e) on a 128GB iPhone 6. And have uncovered some critters.

Photos app
Under the Shared folder, when I select (touch) an image in my Shared stream, instead of the image going full screen, it turns blurry, the app locks up for about 5 seconds and then crashes back to the Home screen. I can replicate this every time. Feedback sent to Apple. Side note: their feedback submission app is really well done.

Calendar app
When rotating from portrait to landscape view, my landscape view calendar is completely empty (unlike my incredibly full portrait view). The only solve has been rotating back to portrait and then immediately back to landscape again. Upon second rotation, landscape calendar matches the full calendar as seen in portrait. Can replicate this every time. Feedback also sent to Apple.

Grabbing the Beta 2 now. Curious to see if it addresses any of the above hiccups.

UPDATE: Happy to report Beta 2 DID successfully address the Photos issue I was seeing. My Calendar view issue remains.

To anyone wondering:

If you delete your public beta profile and restart your iPhone, you're going to see the update :)

Thanks! That did the trick.

On a side note: I wish iOS had an iStat menus feature that allowed me to see the current download speed like on my Mac.

Lets hope this addresses the lag issues that many here are seeing.

This lagging issue is worrisome for Iphone 6/5s - looks like these devices will not age well for IOS 10

I don't know what the issue could be but supposedly the UI is being drawn on the GPU using Metal so there shouldn't be any lag - - RAM could be an issue - I am hoping this is something they are looking very closely.
 
If 9.1 contains code that allow as the iPhone to interact with the new Apple TV then surely you would expect it to launch in time for the Apple TV release in October and we won't have to wait until the iPad Pro's release in Novemver as the article suggests could happen?
 
Odd: After the update. All of the apps I downloaded since 9.0 came out say they need updating even though they are the current version. OK my phone which is iOS 8 shows the same need for updates - I wonder if it is related to the hacked version of Xcode.

I don't have the calendar issue. Do you have the plus?

Nope. 128GB iPhone 6.

Interesting. I just went back to disable the Calendar of my suspect corporate account (Exchange / Google), and before doing so noticed my Calendar now seems to be functioning as expected. So from my POV, 9.1 Beta 2 is 2/2. Nice! ;)

Same here, both on my iPhone 6+ AND in iTunes, even though both were updated completely prior to installing the beta. Re-downloaded all apps on both and did another sync. No problem the second time around.
 
Update went smoothly for iPad 3. Still lags quite a bit, but hope that battery is better on standby now. iPhone 5 and 6 up next.

It will be out for sure in the next 3 to 4 weeks to the public as the Apple TV will most likely be out late october.
