iOS 9.2.1 Release: 5 Things to Expect & 4 Things Not To

Expect a Familiar iOS 9.2.1 Release Time

It's difficult to predict the iOS 9.2.1 release date though we'd expect the company to roll it out in the early part of 2016.

The update's release date is hard to predict but it's actually rather easy to set expectations for the iOS 9.2.1 release time. Unlike its iOS release dates, Apple sticks to a predictable formula for its iOS release times and we expect the iOS 9.2.1 release to fall under the standard protocol. 

The company almost always releases new iOS updates around 10AM Pacific on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. The exact date and time varies but there's no reason to check for the iOS 9.2.1 release at 8PM Eastern on a Saturday night. 

Here's what we expect from the iOS 9.2 release time in the United States and other major markets like Japan and Australia:

• Eastern – 1 PM
• Central – 12 PM
• Mountain – 11AM
• London – 6 PM
• Moscow – 9 PM
• New Dehli – 10:30 PM
• Shanghai – 1 AM
• Tokyo – 2 AM
• Melbourne – 3 AM
• Auckland – 5 AM
