It's fine in the GM (which is identical to what will be released today) and Low Power Mode is awesome. If you're going to be out all day and you usually can't make it through the whole day without top-offs, just enable it. Unless you do CPU-heavy things you probably won't even notice. I love it.

That was only a serious issue in Beta 1. It's fine now.
Make sure you turn off transparency, reduce motion, etc. and it's fine all things considering.

Not sure about 4s but it was clunky as hell on my 5. Restored 8.4 last night then gave it to my daughter as I'm switching to Android for a while. But saying that I've had a few betas that sped up once it hit gm or at least close to it. Best bet is wait a week or two after the gm comes out. If there's a problem you'll hear about it pretty quick.
No matter what phone anyone has, one should always turn off motion.
It's so ugly and unnecessary.
Weirdly enough, Beta 1 was fine for me but Beta 2 destroyed my battery life. I would have to plug in throughout the day to keep it alive, even with light usage. It would also get really hot when I was using it. Now I'm on the 9.1 beta and my battery life is great and my phone runs much cooler.

For people that wanted the two finger touch pad feature in the iPhone, its 6S/6S+ exclusive. It uses 3D touch.
Weird, I thought 6 and 6+ would be able to move the cursor around and highlight from the keyboard with iOS9. The beta and GM don't have that?
Nope, was only on the iPad. Totally disappointing, there's no need to hold this back from the 6, typical Apple trying to sell new phones.
Oh look, a nice list of content blockers:

Crystal and Purify seemed like the two big ones. I think crystal is going to be good for a majority of people as it's install it and forget it. Purify adds a little more customization which I like. Some of the other ones add some really specific stuff that I wouldn't even know what to do with.

Will this allow gifs for iPhone 6/6+?
PiP is for the older Air and ipad mini 2.
I doubt that will sell any new phones. Probably just a time budget limitation.

So sounds like my 5S should avoid this update?

Apple pulled Watch OS 2 at the last second. I am none too pleased. I was really looking forward to its release, as OS 1 leaves a lot to be desired.
I was getting a failed message on my phone. Working through iTunes.
YAY! downloading.
