Is 1h35m generally considered enough time for this connection? Factors: same itinerary, solo traveler, US passport. I've found some comments from the last few months which make me unsure as it sounds like it's a bit tight but doable assuming no inbound delays.

Trip report: on a Saturday morning around 8am, I did have to go through security after deplaning, but that and passport control were both pretty quick (<10 minutes each) - I think we were the first of several widebody arrivals around the same time. I arrived at my gate ~25 minutes before boarding time. No lounge access for me but it was more than enough time to go to the lower restaurant level in 2F and grab coffee and a croissant.
