**Testing iOS 9.1: A Comparison with iOS 9.0**

In this article, we'll be putting iOS 9.1 through its paces to see how it compares to its predecessor, iOS 9.0. We've been testing various aspects of the operating system, including performance, stability, and overall user experience.

**Testing the Six Tests for iOS 9.1**

We started by running six tests to gauge the performance of iOS 9.1. These tests included a startup test, where we observed how quickly each device booted up. We also ran tests on the App Store, Maps, Settings, Control Center, and Handoff/Multitasking.

The results were clear: iOS 9.1 performed slightly better than iOS 9.0 in terms of speed and fluidity. The startup test revealed that iOS 9.1 loaded faster than iOS 9.0, with a noticeable difference on some devices. On the App Store, Maps, and Settings, we saw similar improvements in loading times.

We also ran tests on Handoff/Multitasking, which showed that iOS 9.1 was more responsive and had a smoother experience overall. Control Center performed similarly to both versions of iOS, but with a slight edge in terms of speed. Finally, the app switcher worked just as well, but with a hint of fluidity.

**Testing Web-Based Applications**

To see how iOS 9.1 affects web-based applications, we loaded several websites using Safari on both devices. The results were impressive: many websites loaded faster and more smoothly on iOS 9.1 than on iOS 9.0.

Maps also performed better on iOS 9.1, with fewer hiccups and a smoother experience overall. While some settings tests showed identical performance to both versions of iOS, we noticed that iOS 9.1 loaded certain websites just a little bit faster.

**Geekbench Results**

To get an idea of how iOS 9.1 compares to iOS 9.0 in terms of raw processing power, we ran Geekbench on both devices. The results were clear: iOS 9.1 performed significantly better than iOS 9.0 in most areas, with notable improvements in single-core and multi-core scores.

The iPhone 4s saw significant improvements in both scores, while the iPhone 5's multi-core score was only slightly lower than its predecessor. On other devices, the results showed that iOS 9.1 had improved performance across the board.

**Network Performance**

Finally, we ran a Wi-Fi speed test to see how iOS 9.1 affects network performance. The results were impressive: in every single case, iOS 9.1 outperformed iOS 9.0 by several megabits per second.

On our iPhone 6, we noticed that iOS 9.1 actually decreased wi-fi performance, while on other devices, the results showed a marked improvement in network speed and stability.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, our testing of iOS 9.1 has shown that it's a worthwhile update to iOS 9. While it may not fix all of the lag and stutter issues present in earlier versions, it does improve performance and overall user experience. We saw significant improvements in loading times, fluidity, and network performance.

Overall, we believe that iOS 9.0.1 is an excellent update for anyone running iOS 9. With its improved performance and faster speeds, you'll be able to enjoy a smoother and more responsive experience on your device. Be sure to upgrade if you're due for an update – it's worth the hassle.

**Upgrade Worth It?**

In our testing, we saw significant improvements in loading times, fluidity, and network performance. If you're running iOS 9, we highly recommend upgrading to iOS 9.0.1. The improved performance and faster speeds will make a noticeable difference in your daily experience.

With its numerous under-the-hood upgrades, iOS 9.0.1 is a great way to breathe new life into an older device. Even if you don't notice the improvements immediately, they'll be there when you need them most – and that's what makes this update truly worthwhile.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys everythingapplepro here and as promised i'm going to be comparing ios and 9.0.1 to the old ios 9.0 so today apple released this new firmware and it includes a number of new changes mostly smaller bug fixes but a lot of users are reportedly seeing improvements in performance and i wanted to see if there is a true difference between ios 9.1 and 9.0 in terms of performance so real quick i'm going to go ahead and run some tests on the iphone 4s 5 5s and iphone 6 to see if there really is a performance boost now the reason i'm not doing the 5c i've had a lot of people asking this is because the 5 and 5c share internals they're the exact same phones speed wise so it would be a little redundant to test the 5 and 5c but let's go ahead and get started all right so beginning with the startup test and on the left is 9.0 on the right is 9.0.1 starting with e4s here we go now remember both of these devices are freshly restored so they're completely evenly matched in all aspects and hopefully 9.1 not only helps with you know a little bit of a quicker experience but it's less buggy as well let's go ahead and see oh my goodness this takes so long out of 4s users live with this alright so we got about two seconds in between uh so ios and nine was the faster of the two and just show you guys 9.0 and 9.0.1 all right so on to the five all right on the iphone 5 so nearly identical maybe a fraction of a second faster on 9.0.1 and once again on the 5s and that's a much faster startup time on e5s so ios 9.0.1 was over two seconds slower in the startup which is getting interesting so it doesn't look like ios 9.1 is in any way faster so far but let's do the six and see where that leaves us and lastly the sixth startup test all right so that was pretty much identical all right so let's go ahead and get a feel for how ios 9.1 compares in terms of just sluggish and usability on the right 9.1 on the left 9.0 so let's start with the app store so 9.0.1 was actually a bit faster about a good one second next let's do maps so uh 9.0.1 doesn't hang as much and definitely load it a little bit faster here alright let's try these settings nine point one is just a little bit faster and let's try the app switcher wow i noticed a definite fluidity on 9.0.1 let's try control center oh my gosh so yeah this is a certain delay on 9.0.1 anyways onto the five so start with the app store 9.1 loaded it again faster let's try settings so nearly identical and maps and put on point one loaded it a little bit faster so let's go into the app switcher so as you can see bringing up the control center and notification center 9.0.1 does it a little bit more smooth all right to the 5s settings the app store and again 9.0.1 was faster so surprisingly i've noticed the pattern and 9.1 loads those websites a little bit better so overall seeing a little bit of a pattern here 9.0.1 is a little bit more fluid so under the cover optimization probably gone into making sure things appear a little bit smoother so animations in general just look a little bit better all right and last one on the iphone 6. so same principle let's do the app store and again 9.0.1 loaded faster so it's a clear distinction to me between all of these that the web-based applications load better on ios 9.0.1 here is maps almost identical settings and then put up on a little bit so hand on half switcher just as good a little bit more fluid bringing that up yeah definitely a little bit more fluid so 9.0.1 is a little bit more fluid now let's go ahead and do a geekbench and get some actual numbers as to how these compare okay so here are the final results and then almost all of these i can tell that i wish 9.1 has definitely made an improvement now when i compared 8.4.1 to 9.0 there was a definite downgrade apple's doing some under the cover upgrades and as these geekbenches show us there's definitely improvement in all areas so on the iphone 4s there was definitely improvement in both scores it was only on the iphone 5 with the multi-core score was a little bit lower but it's either identical or better so in most cases ios 9.1 did improve on the multi-core score significantly so you will notice a little bit of a difference and there's one last area i wanted to test and that's network performance so i'm going to go ahead and run a wi-fi speed test and report back all right and take a look at this looks like ios 9.1 in every single case was an improvement for the wi-fi now personally on my iphone 6 i noticed a decrease in wi-fi performance it looks like ios 9.0.1 remedies that so definitely an increase we can see on every single device here and i'm happy to say that apple has improved the wi-fi performance on ios 9.0.1 alright so guys that is just about it with this video i have shown you that indeed ios 9.0.1 is a worthy update to ios 9. it doesn't fix all of the lag all of these stutter but it does improve upon it and things like i said will keep getting better with time so we'll be seeing 9.0.2 then 9.1 and 0.2 and so on so things will be getting better performance will be getting better and so far i could see the biggest difference in terms of performance on the older devices but looks like ios 9.0.1 fixes a lot of issues and wi-fi performance is much better on that as well thanks for watching this video guys hopefully i gave you a good reason to update to ios 9.0.1 it's better than apple has made it out to be it's you know such a small firmware but it does fix quite a bit in the background be sure to update if you guys are on ios 9 it is worth it have a great day guys enjoy ios 9.0.1 and the improved performance peacewhat's up guys everythingapplepro here and as promised i'm going to be
