10 Things to Know About the iPhone 5 iOS 9.2.1 Update

The iPhone 5 iOS 9.2.1 update is still current and today we want to take a look at the most important things you need to know about it as we push away from the release date towards the next iPhone 5 iOS 9 update.

Apple’s iPhone 5 iOS 9.2.1 update was initially confirmed back in December with a release into the company’s beta program for developers and the general public. The iOS 9.2.1 beta didn’t confirm a whole lot.

The iOS 9.2.1 release date remained a mystery until mid-January when Apple deemed it worthy for public consumption.

A few weeks ago, Apple pulled the iPhone 5 iOS 9.2.1 update out of beta and pushed it to users around the world. If you’re on iOS 9.2 and you check iTunes or your Settings for a software update, iOS 9.2.1 will be there.

The iOS 9.2.1 update isn’t a milestone upgrade. It doesn’t bring any new and exciting features to the iPhone 5. Instead, the update is focused on performance and security. It’s a small update for the aging former flagship but that doesn’t make it any less important.

Here, we want to outline what you need to know about iOS 9.2.1 for the iPhone 5. This roundup takes a look at potential problems, the iOS 9.2.1 update’s performance, details about the jailbreak, and the update that might replace it in a few weeks.
