iOS 9.2: 5 Things to Know Before Christmas

If you get a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch on Christmas (or after it), there’s a chance that you’ll be asked to install Apple’s iOS 9.2 update. Before you do that, take a look at this roundup of important things to know about the iOS 9.2 update.

Earlier this month, Apple took its iOS 9.2 update out of beta and released it to the public. It’s the company’s second milestone upgrade for the iOS 9 operating system and it’s the most current version of software for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

If you are planning to open a new iPhone, iPad or iPod on Christmas morning, you might be prompted to download and install the iOS 9.2 update once you complete the setup. Some devices will likely run it right out of the box but others will need to be updated.

Downloading a new update might seem harmless but it could have a big impact on your device and perhaps your holiday if you install it blindly. With that in mind, we want to help get you prepared for the big day.

These are a few of the most important things to know about the iOS 9.2 update as we cruise into Christmas morning. If you’re confident that you’ll be opening up a new Apple device later this year, keep these tips in mind.
