Apple Seeds Second iOS 9.2 Beta to Developers

[redheeler]

Seems pretty boring for a .1 update.

Fixing the app switcher lag on my iPhone 6s Plus has already made it a worthwhile .2 update for me. The difference is noticeable.

- Videos with 'folw' track associations will no longer fail yo play on 32-bit devices.

Spell Check failed you MR.
EDIT: Fixed

Is the fullscreen option in the Podcasts.app on iPads back? I'm missing it since iOS 9 broke it.

This is annoying as hell. I'd switch to a different podcast app if they were as easy to use as the Apple one

There is still a slight delay between tapping an app and opening the app in which the icon turns dark for a fraction of a second. Annoying.

Also, opening control center animation still skips frames.

 

[Ironjer]

It's never going to be fixed, it needed 2GB of RAM from the start...

God, 2GB of RAM for handle a smooth animations? Baahhh

 

[markp-a]

I'm hoping for the GM radio fix.

With all this mention of lag (still) from some people, when are said people either going to re-eveluate their expectations, or sell their iOS devices?

What about the TouchID Lag on the i6S+?

The one people want Apple to ADD because it's too quick?

Nope, this one

I don't own a 6 Plus but my 5S is still nowhere near 8.4.1.

For me it is, if not even better!

 

[redheeler]

Nope, this one

Huh, I actually never noticed that before. Doesn't look like it's completely fixed in 9.2.

It's funny how people believe this. iPads with larger screens and 1GB of RAM ran iOS 8 perfectly smoothly. iOS 9's lag is down to poor optimisation, commonly found in early builds of iOS. So far 9.2 has returned by iPhone 6 and Air 2 to near 8.4.1 levels of performance, and that's only beta 1. By the time this goes public I have a feeling users of newer devices will be very happy.

Awesome! by the time I get around to getting an iPhone 6s it will be with 9.2 --- 9.1 works perfectly fine on my iPhone 5s and newness hasn't worn yet, maybe for the holidays I'll finally upgrade.

 

[RodGarfield]

Huh, I actually never noticed that. Doesn't look like it's any quicker in 9.2.

Apparently it's a bug affecting 128 GB iPhone 6S Plus models

Some users have replaced their phones, and they still have the issue though

It's now possible to dismiss the Safari View Controller with an edge swipe.

I can't get this to work. Anyone?

 

[jmantn]

I can't get this to work. Anyone?

What app are you trying to do this with?

Safari view controller is an in app view of safari and not safari itself.

Just wondering as most apps I use haven't taken advantage of the view controller yet

 

[thebro20]

They have not released the public beta 2 yet?

you can just delete your public beta profile and it'll let you download the developer version

 

[Aston441]

The one people want Apple to ADD because it's too quick?

lol so true.

I go back and forth between a 5s and a 6s+ and the difference in touch ID speeds makes me nuts. I wish it was a uniform delay across devices. I don't care how fast or slow it is, I just need it to be the same every time.

 

[skovira]

just tell me, apple did you fix the lag in iPhone 6 Plus?

that was fixed in the last beta

 

[hugomingoia]

I'm a bit upset to see that Apple News search still doesn't work. It's been like this since 9.1. And I've reported it multiple times, without any response.

 

[Ironjer]

that was fixed in the last beta

Are you sure?

Apple today seeded the second beta of iOS 9.2 to developers for testing purposes, one week after seeding the first iOS 9.2 beta and two weeks after releasing iOS 9.1 to the public.

The new iOS 9.2 beta, build 13C5060d, is available as an over-the-air update and through the Apple Developer Center.

The first beta of iOS 9.2 introduced some changes for the Safari View Controller within apps, letting it work more like the standard Safari app with support for third-party Action Extensions and the ability to long tap on the Reload button to reload content without content blockers or request desktop site.

iOS 9.2 also includes a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements, many of which are under-the-hood improvements. Thus far no other outward-facing changes have been discovered, but updates in the second beta will be listed below if found.

Bug Fixes in iOS 9.2 Beta 2:

- Un-paring and re-pairing the Apple Watch will no longer cause the Stocks glance to go missing.
- Syncing Music to the Apple Watch has been fixed.
- An issue impacting audio quality when playing audio over USB in some car stereos has been fixed.
- A bug with iCloud Keychain has been fixed, so users should no longer see "Could Not Set Up iCloud Keychain" errors.
- Videos with 'folw' track associations will no longer fail to play on 32-bit devices.

New Features in iOS 9.2 Beta 2:
- It's now possible to dismiss the Safari View Controller with an edge swipe.

[bbfc]

Definitely. My iPhone 6 Plus is so much more responsive on 9.2.
