So far the battery life seems to be vastly improved compared to Beta 1 on my 6 Plus. I will be putting the phone through its paces and testing out low power mode too and I'll report back soon.

If you were a public beta enrollee make sure to delete that profile on your phone. It should show up after a reboot.
 
So. I am probably the ONLY person who has run into this issue but I cannot accept or make calls on iOS 9 beta 1 or 2. Every time I click to answer the phone or make a call, the phone freezes up and I cannot end the call. Does ANYONE have any recommendations/has anyone run into this before? You guys' help is definitely appreciated.

Check settings-general-accessibility-call audio routing and make sure it is set to automatic.

OH. MY. GOD! I never even KNEW that was there!!!!! You have COMPLETELY made my week, kind person. I didn't think I would be able to live in the glory that is the beautiful iOS 9 beta and yet HERE WE ARE.

Thank you. Thank you very kindly. :)
 
About 25 minutes using it going through apps and not letting it lock once or have the screen go off. Little buggy but huge improvement.
 
I'm wondering how accurate their "Known issues" list really is.

My game was very buggy in Beta 1, now half of the obvious bugs I had in SpriteKit are gone, that's the good news. But there's still only one known issue in SpriteKit.
 
Have been running iOS 9 bèta 2 for a while now and battery life indeed has been vastly improved. Still not at the same level as with iOS 8.3, but hey... It's a bèta. :)

Anyway, the biggest problem did encounter this morning. When I put on my Apple Watch I noticed it could not connect with my iPhone because of some reason. Restart didn't help, so I decided to completely wipe my Watch and reinstall it. But it then showed an error message saying that it couldn't setup the Watch.

I did a settings reset on my iPhone and afterwards I was able to setup the Apple Watch again properly. Was really relieved at that moment. I mean, I do know it's a bèta. But I didn't have this problem with bèta 1 (which I downgraded back to iOS 8.3 after a day because of the battery issues).

But you know, it all works now. iPhone 6 performs incredibly well. In fact, I think that settings reset was a good move. It's definitely smoother than before. And again, battery life is noticeable better which is the main reason I'll stick with bèta 2. :)

Only a few small things that are still yet to be improved. App switcher and Control Center for example do stutter a bit. But overall it works great!
