Install It If You're Dealing with One of These Problems

If you are dealing with unfixable iOS 9 problems on iOS 9.0.2 or below, you'll probably want to give the iOS 9.2 update a shot. 

Apple's loaded up the iOS 9.2 update with tons of fixes for lingering iOS problems. There are improvements to Podcasts and Safari, two apps that've been acting up for many iOS 9 users. There are fixes for Mail and Live Photos. There are fixes for Calendar. And there are a number of fixes for Accessibility. 

There's always a chance the iOS 9.2 update will fix a problem that's not listed on the change log. Broader problems like battery life issues and problems with Wi-Fi will often settle after a new update is put on board a device. So even if you don't see your problem listed here, you might want to think about installing this update.
