Do not install IOS9 on your iPad 2!!!

So, Apple released IOS9 with a bunch of PR hoopla about how well it was optimised for older devices.

So, I installed it thinking, well my iPad 2 is running okay, and Apple promises the new version will not make it any worse, so what the hey, lets install IOS9.

What I forgot was that I never installed IOS8 because I heard it was a dog. Now I have IOS9, and my iPad has massive, massive lag!

The onscreen keyboard has a few seconds lag before the letters appear, scrolling through the apps is glacially slow, the whole thing is sluggish- basically it is a terrible UX.

And would you believe it is impossible to downgrade any lower than IOS 8.4.

I can't believe that QA at Apple signed off on IOS9 for iPad 2 because the experience sucks.

If I was cynical, I might think this was a deliberate strategy to make perfectly usable devices useless and push people to upgrade.

So DO NOT UPGRADE TO IOS 9!
