I like that you can swipe forward in safari now without bringing up slide over, as long as you don't swipe in the middle of the page. If you do that, slide over pops right out.

Did anyone else notice that the wallpaper that Apple use on the website with the wave has now disappeared in Public Beta 4?

That's mean said a few times in this topic already ;)

Multitasking still feels laggy on the iPad Air unfortunately.
 
There's also a new WiFi Assist feature that will "automatically use cellular data when Wi-Fi connectivity is poor."

That sounds like quite a biggie - often i've logged into a public wifi hotspot that is open automatically or one i've been on before which either barely works or gets about 0.35mb down whilst i've probably got a 3g connection on cellular with about 5mb down that would work much better.

I just tested Wi-Fi assist and it doesn't seem to work.

I null-routed my iPad's Wifi IP at the router so it couldn't reach the internet, then tried to use a few apps. Nothing worked.

I'm not sure what the failure mode has to be for cellular to take over, but apparently "no packets getting through" isn't one of them. :(

Shame - One of my big annoyances is when I don't notice my iPhone has automatically connected to a remembered WiFi hotspot and I then lose all connectivity until I notice it's done so and go through the hotspot's service provider's connection screen in Safari

I can't believe nobody has commented on the App switcher (multitasking) interface change. I'm speaking about the Public beta here...maybe it has been introduced in earlier Dev builds.
 
Nope...for me, all the apps to left have been smaller in size than the right one, increasing in size as you swipe right...now they are all the same size.
 
One of my biggest rave's about iOS 9 is that they have fixed the annoying bug where, when you open safari, it would sometimes show an older page in cache and then go back to the last opened page after about 1.5 secs. This was soooo annoying, but so far, I have not seen this issue.

I didn't notice the Shuffle All option. I'm glad that they finally made it easier to do.

Edit: The Shift and Backspace keys are changed on my 5C as well. Not a change limited to the 6/6 Plus. Image

As an AT&T customer, wifi calling doesn't really matter to me.
 
This latest build is sooo smooth and quick.
AFAIK it's been like this since Dev beta 1

To reiterate I'm talking about the change in the app switcher between PB 2 & 3. All the apps to left have been smaller in size than the right one, increasing in size as you swipe right (in the previous build)...now they are all the same size

I checked some YouTube videos of iOS 9 Beta 1 and the size's haven't been changed at all. Perhaps it just looks different for yourself?
