By the way, my 5S was laggy as hell and suffered bad battery life shortly after upgrading to iOS 9. But the lag resolved itself, probably indicating it was due to the revised Spotlight doing a deep re-index, and possibly other internal optimization processes. And the battery life practically doubled after I let it run all the way down after a couple days of annoyance, then charged it all the way back up. Yup, that trick still works, apparently.
