iOS 9.1 beta

[Beefsteak]

Anyone here on the iOS 9.1 beta program?

Thinking of trying it out since its also available for the public. But heard that once you update to 9.1 you can't go back to 9.0

There is the latest 9.1 beta 4 recently.

How is it compared to the iOS 9.0.X?

For those who want to join the beta program.

They also tell you how to make a backup before upgrading.

On iOS 9.1 public beta 4 now. Fixed a lot of bugs and overall the phone feels smoother and faster. You can always roll back to iOS 9.0.2 if you want.

can roll back. but do all necessary backups before flashing the phone to 9.1 beta 4

The new beta 4 is huge. 1.6GB for iPhone 6s and 1.3GB for iPad Air 2. GM build should be coming after this since the beta code for this is very similar to the official public release.

How is it in terms of stability? Do you think its good to be used daily?

I ask about how stable it is. And also compared to iOS 9.0.X.

Of course I did not expect it to be perfect.

Btw are you on the beta yourself?

It's very stable for me. No random shutdown or hang so far. App compatability is much better in iOS 9 beta as compared to iOS 8 beta. iOS 9.1 beta 4 is much better than iOS 9.0.2.

Probably when the iPad pro launches.

9.1 will come at Apple TV launch first.


btw, on Beta4 now and it's quite smooth.

no app crashes yet.

 

[Beefsteak]

I also updated to beta 4. Seems smoother to me.

how about battery life .... does it take a hit ?

 

[GoToSea]

I concur what other bros said. ios 9.1 beta 4 is very stable, better than the official release 9.0.2

Battery life about the same. No noticeable difference. This build should be the last before the public release. Probably within the next 2 weeks.

just wondering, you all use which method to update to iOS 9.1 B4? update to iOS 9.0.2, then shift update to the iOS 9.1 B4 ipsw, or through the public beta OTA update? thanks!
