MacDailyNews Take: Hopefully, iOS 9 beta testers will see some improvements on battery optimization, too.
Not showing up OTA, yet.
It would appear that the battery life issues persist.
Agreed, MDN. With all the talk about improved battery life at the announcement, I was shocked to see just how bad the beta 1 drain was. Literally killed my iPad every 20 hours on standby. Planning on using it? Better give it a full charge twice a day.
On iOS 8 full release I was charging a few times a week tops. We always see reduced battery life in betas, yes, but this time around it was worse than usual.
Have beta 2 installed now, hoping for improvement.
