Apple Seeds Second Beta of iOS 9.2.1 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming iOS 9.2.1 update to developers and public beta testers for testing purposes, nearly three weeks after seeding the first beta and almost one month after the public release of iOS 9.2. iOS 9.2, the second major update to iOS 9, introduced a very long list of bug fixes, along with feature improvements to Apple Music, News, Mail, iBooks, and more.

The second iOS 9.2.1 beta, build 13D14, is available as an over-the-air update for those who downloaded the first beta and it's also available from the Apple Developer Center.

It is not yet clear what changes iOS 9.2.1 will bring to iOS 9, but as it's a minor .1 update, it's likely to focus on performance improvements and introduce fixes for bugs that have been discovered since the release of iOS 9.2. No significant changes were discovered in the first beta, but we'll update this post if anything new is unearthed.

Comment I'm looking to make in a foreseeable future:

OMG I CAN UNINSTALL THE DEFAULT APPS, AND SET 3RD PARTY REPLACEMENTS.

Almost forgot this update existed lol

Not just developers, Public Beta testers as well.

Had to remove the public beta profile to get it.

I didn't.

Hows it running guys ?

Hows it running guys ?

safari feels snappier, the lag of the control center is gone, the framerate of animations has improved by 0.0000001! and my battery lasts all day now

33mb on my iPhone 6, cute

Idk. I'll tell after a full day of usage.

 

[Jukens]

Still didn't fix landscape 3D Touch frame rate.

I did not.

Oh god, I just noticed the lag. Never knew it was there before you told me, since i never use my phone in landscape mode.
Needless to say the lag is horrible and just painful to watch, it's like 5fps or lower.

 

[joueboy]

For quite sometime now the only thing that changes is the number. Always having an issues with the firware after fixing the other another one comes out. SMH.

Seriously, it is ridiculous. I have the 6s Plus, and even WITH reduce transparency on there is a very very noticeable lag when in landscape mode and using 3D Touch on the home screen.

 

[Merkie]

I did not.

Maybe I was impatient.

 

[TrowaNY]

Lag, lag, lag...Some glitch that has existed forever in IOS that no one notices, lag in another spot, and Apple is the best. Back to Snapchat!

 

[NoWayBehind]

Spotlight stutter is also still there, at least on my Air 2. At this point I think it will never be fixed.

And that ridiculous 6s plus landscape lag. WTF Apple. This is not polished ! I thought apple is supposed to be that

 

[LordQ]

I just want them to fix the super annoying quick reply bug that happens on the lockscreen. A weird outlined keyboard appears and the only way to get rid of it is reboot.

 

[TC03]

Installed it. Still a lagfest. Not that I was expecting anything else.

iOS 9 still feels beta to me.

 

[AppleFan91]

Seriously, it is ridiculous. I have the 6s Plus, and even WITH reduce transparency on there is a very very noticeable lag when in landscape mode and using 3D Touch on the home screen.

Weird. I'm seriously not seeing it look any different than in portrait mode on my 6S Plus. Not calling you a liar or anything like that, I'm just not seeing on my end. Either I'm blind or lucky lol

 

[AppleFan91]

Verizon Wi-Fi calling please?

 

[kch50428]

Verizon Wi-Fi calling please?

That's up to Verizon... wifi calling is already in iOS - Verizon needs to release a carrier settings update to enable the controls within iOS.

Or pull down to Spotlight search. It will open the normal keyboard and then you can close it.

Still lagging like an old lady on my iPhone and iPad.Thumbs down from me
