Apple Releases Second iOS 9.2 Beta for Public Beta Testers

[redheeler]

What's with Apple rolling out beta updates like crazy? I mean- I'm happy to hear that they are trying to fix most bugs, but rolling out a new update week after week seems a bit odd...

It doesn't seem odd to me, as Apple is trying to get new builds to beta testers as often as possible in order to spot and fix potential issues before release. If you don't like frequent updates, don't become a beta tester.

Installing now. Looking forward to the NumberSync technology

...if only Verizon could get their act together and not be the only major US without Wi-Fi calling. Then, I'd be a happy camper .

Hopefully by the time 9.2 goes out to the public, Verizon will finally get their act together and enable wifi calling considering that they already applied with the FCC a week and half ago

Is this build the same as the dev beta 2? I have 13C5060d listed as the build number for my 6S Plus from this weeks dev beta 2.

Most likely.

Is there a Cydia app that mimics the new swipe left -> right to close Safari View Controller?

Buttery smooth, zero lag and battery life has improved 400%! Awesome

I'm not against it, in fact, I'd gladly be a beta tester if I had a spare device to do it on. It's just that it seems a bit odd, they didn't do it like that last year or even the year before.

I'm thinking they may wait this long to release it so it will be completely perfect. That would be the hope anyway. Beta 2 is pretty good as is though.

How long do you guys figure till 9.2 is released to the general public?

I'm thinking late December, maybe January.

They a release a beta every week. There's no way there will be another 4-6 betas. With the holidays coming up it will be out sometime this month. By thanskgiving we will be at beta 4 or 5.

Given that I'm not aware of any "major" features, heck even minor, I can't see why they'd wait so long to release it.

My guess is they release it around the time the iPad Pro is available.

 

[JF Martin]

Yeah, I wonder what this means... iOS 9 didn't bring much in UI animations IMHO...

I'm thinking more like a month, early december.

Can someone post the build # if you have a 6S Plus? Thanks!

 

[eyeseeyou]

So far pb2 has brought my 6 plus back to it's snappy awesomeness even with animations on. So far so good.

 

[Westside guy]

With all these different versions of 9 that I've run I already feel like a beta tester!

Given my experiences with iOS 9, I'd say it's more appropriate to call us all alpha testers.

I can't get the WiFi calling working on my iPad running 9.2 PB. :/

is this sarcasm? if not do you mean iOS 8 level of snappiness or iOS 9.1 level of snappiness?

13C5060d

The same on my 6 plus

 

[BigHonkingDeal]

Works fine for me (iPad mini 4) running IOS 9.1. After installing the Beta on my iPhone and adding the iPad as device it can receive and make calls even with the iPhone turned off. I like it!

I'm running PB 2 on my Air 2 and no joy. It tries to place the call through my iPhone 6s Plus.

We can only hope.

I don't think my 5s will ever be smooth again
