Thousands of people already have late betas of iOS 9 running on their 6 and 6+. I'd think if it was a performance drain in the way you're describing, it would already be known. Also, your example doesn't quite hold because the iPad 3 was a lot further behind when iOS 8 came out than the iPhone 6+ will be with iOS 9.
FWIW, though there may be some bugs, I don't notice any performance loss on my 6 with iOS 9. And some of the features are going to be invaluable (Safari content blocking may even make your 1 GB of RAM go a little further when browsing
Gruber says no event in October, which to means no Mac laptop updates this fall. Will be interesting to see how Apple pulls this off in roughly 2 hours without rushing through things.

Why do they need an event to announce laptop updates though? Maybe for a new model like the Macbook, but just spec bumps, new chips, etc. could just pop up any morning like they have in the past.
That is one thing I don't understand. With the trackpad, that has a lot of the aspects of the touch OS in OS X. Where the touch interface is located is a matter of placement. It would seem that the software interface is already there.
Maybe it will run longer than 2 hours? Maybe 2 and a half. There has got to be a reason Apple are updating everything at this event rather than holding the 2 separate events like usual. Still I'm looking forward to seeing the iPad Pro!
It happened when all that turmoil happened on Reddit. Plus some paid Android (Samsung) marketing paid individuals to post on positive messages! You can really tell that one because when you annoce you like a non-Samsung Android phone.
Looking forward to this.
I'd like some software updates for iWork as well as the new OS releases. They normally get released in October but if there's no October event, would be nice to see them today.
Updates to iCloud Storage tiers would be welcomed too. I would say 20GB free is reasonable. I pay for 200GB.

YES! This needs to happen at some point. I loath digital zoom and never use it.
The 6+ is a fantastic phone. Faults? What faults? Bendgate is not an issue if you use a good case and don't try and bend it, obviously.
You have no idea what you're saying. You can't notice pixels with 326 ppi, stop trolling.
Mrs. thequik was a beta tester for the Windows Phone, and she loved it. I also appreciated the phone as well, as it was a nice bit of hardware to bounce things off of. A few minor things about it...
1. It didn't connect to Apple Server Contacts and Calendar, so I had to fire up my Windows Server again for Exchange (this is a good thing. I am a much better Exchange admin than an Apple Mail Server admin)
2. We have to buy apps twice.
3. I am a kinesthetic learner, so helping her was difficult, as I hadn't experienced the phone as she did, so I was forever being the dumb one on it.
However, having both in our house taught me one thing: We're at a great place with technology. It's like having a BMW (my personal favorite), Mercedes, Lexus, and a Tesla at our disposal. They're all good cars, and it's just a matter of taste of what you prefer to drive (I've only driven the BMW and Mercedes, so I cannot comment on the Lexus and the Tesla cars... yet.) So it is with Apple, Windows, and Android phones. We're just quibbling about the details now.
I'd like to see them surprise us with some more color options aside from Rose Gold, like the Slate iPhone 5, but I won't get my hopes up for any new additional colors until next year.
You missed my point. The 6+ has been crap since unboxing and knowing that there's a new model out which *fixes* the problems the 6+ has will be a further kick in the teeth.
If the 6+ didn't have insufficient RAM, didn't springboard crash, didn't freeze, didn't reload apps, didn't reload webpages, didn't scroll slowly etc etc then I would be perfectly happy keeping it for another year. It's the fact that I was sold a duffer phone and then 12 months later they're bringing out what the 6+ should have been all along that's the problem here.
The 6+ is the worst iPhone ever released. It's an underspecced, badly designed phone that never worked properly from day one.
Then you should've returned it if it was crap since unboxing.
And are you really pointing out that a year newer iPhone will be better than the old one? Surprise, surprise?
Again, you're missing my point. My phone has *never* been good and I'm not bemoaning the fact that a new phone is better. I'm bemoaning the fact that the old phone has never worked properly.
I'm assuming you think no 6+ has ever worked properly? Because if not, then your phone is defective and you should have had it replaced. And you did say it was crap out of the box, which suggests you should have immediately returned it during the return period.
If you still like iPhones and think the new one is going to be better (which of course it will be), you could probably sell your 6+ (assuming again, it's not defective
)and upgrade for not that much.

It isn't just my phone and there have been countless threads about it. The 6+ has insufficient RAM and also the scaling/non-native super high-res display causes issues with needing to be constantly scaled to HD. The phone has insufficient power and it performs worse than the 4.7" version as a result. Even the 4.7" i6 has insufficient RAM and reloads browser tabs and apps way more readily than the iPhone 5. That's not progress.
This household: current gen AppleTV and XBox One connected to the TV, my 2011 Mac mini, her brandnew Dell touchscreen laptop, our two Surface 3's, me a Lumia 1320, she, with her smaller hands, a Lumia 640. iPods in both cars (nano in hers, 30 GB 5G in mine). She uses Here maps on her phone for navigation, I'm using the TomTom branded one built into my dash.
We like technology. Well, I like technology and she appreciates it.
