Its very hit or miss on my devices. A lot of iPhone 6 owners commenting on a laggy scrolling in the iPhone section too. I'm assuming this will be corrected by Apple in an update.
I sense laggyness in the wallpaper section with my 6
The OP wasn't about choppy animation or laggyness. Settings app uses different scrolling compared to Safari.
With one swipe in the settings app you can practically go all the way down to the bottom of the screen (like in Android web browsers), while in Safari it only scrolls a bit (It feels more controlled), and will only switch to "smooth", less controlled scrolling if you swipe fast a few times.
This is programmed like this on purpose. When you're in Safari, most of the times you don't need to go to the bottom of the page immediately. You move slowly to the bottom of the page, while reading articles, looking at pictures etc.
When you open the settings app, more often then not, you open it to find something specific, and you know approximately where it is. So it makes sense to have "smooth", faster scrolling there. You can get to your desired setting faster (You don't go to the settings app to scroll little by little, reading everything on the page, you go to the specific setting immediately ).
It's been like that on iPhones pretty much all the time. So not likely something they have to "address" from their view of it.I've noticed only on my iPhone 6 Plus running 8.3, it's definitely as responsive as my iPad Air 2.
It's like i have to perform LONG swipes down just to get more of the page to scroll, whereas on my iPad it just flies with small flicks.
Any news if they're going to address this for the iPhone 6?

I see, that's too bad. Must be a limitation then if they're not able to address it. I see no reason why you would want to intentionally slow down the scrolling speed. It's terribly sluggish.
I see occasional stutter on my iPhone 6 Plus. Nothing terrible, but it's there.
I am starting to wonder if it's the 1GB of RAM on the phone which is the reason for it? If it is, it doesn't bode well for future iOS and apps updates, which get bulkier with every version (64bit is here to stay).
It seems very strange that they have full-on inertia scrolling in the stock Notes and Contacts apps but not the web browser.
I think it's one type of scrolling through screens that are lists of items essentially and then a different type on screens that are content basically, and in case of a browser all pages are content essentially.
When your browser has reloaded on you *again*, you need to scroll down fast to where you were previously. This slow scrolling does make things even more tedious due to all the reloading.
