iOS 9.2.1 Update: 5 Things to Know After 51 Days

Published

You Can No Longer Downgrade to iOS 9.2

You Can No Longer Downgrade to iOS 9.2

We warned you.

Apple's finally closed up the iOS 9.2 downgrade. What this means is that Apple is no longer signing off on iOS 9.2. That means you can no longer drop back down once you make your move to the iOS 9.2.1 update. 

Apple won't magically start signing off again so if you made the move to iOS 9.2.1, you're stuck. If you haven't made the move yet, keep this in mind before you upgrade.

With an iOS 9.3 update on the horizon, some of you might want to sit back and wait for the next update to arrive.

    After I downloaded IOS 9.2.1 my phone crashed and was not able to revive it. Apple says it is my fault.

      I updated about 2 weeks ago and I’m now experiencing similar issues. Phone freezing, slow or no response, apps registering the click but not opening. Have to restart many times. Feeling a lot of heat on top right side of the phone where the screen lock/unlock bezel is. And of course, horrible 2.5 hrs to a maximum of 7 hours battery life with regular usage. Getting really upset with it. Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Do you have a solution or do I cross my fingers and wait until the 9.3 software update in March?

      Mine too.

      Plus, Apple still haven’t fixed the performance issues on the iPhone 6.

      Unbelievable how long you have to wait for such a company to fix a problem that shouldn’t even exist on a €700+ phone!

      Hi Leslie,

      I am experiencing kind of the same problem. I usually have about +3000 unread emails but randomly my phone starts receiving every unread email I already had and when I try to open the app, it just crashes. It is really annoying :(

    My iPhone 5 has been updating (likely frozen) for two days now. Cycled it off and on numereous time, but it just continues spinning the gears. At least it’s not bricked as many iPhone 6s are.

    Since updated to 9.2.1 only 1/4 of my photos are still blurry. But the best thing is I no longer have to do a hard reset cause it does it on its own!!!! Whenever it gets the urge!!! So now when it freezes if I’m feeling lazy I just wait 2-3 minutes til it decides to reboot. Oh by the way this is an ipad2 wifi. I’m saving up for a Samsung Tablet cause if my Galaxy S4 has a lot less problems then my iphone4 did then their tablet has to be a vast improvement also. I still love Apple but I just can’t take the stress of using bad software anymore.

    When I connect my iPhone to iTunes, the summary screen says that I have IOS 9.2.1 but it also says that I need to upgrade to IOS 9.2.1. When I go Software Update in the my iPhone settings it says that I have IOS 9.2.1 and that my software is up to date. I’m confused.
