iOS 9.2 Review: Should You Install?

iPad iOS 9.2 Review | |||||||
 | |||||||
We've been testing the iOS 9.2 update on three versions of the iPad: The iPad Air 2, the iPad Air and the iPad mini 2. If you are looking for feedback about another iPad iOS 9.2 update, you'll need to look elsewhere. For the most part, this trio of iOS 9.2 updates has performed well. We haven't run into any issues with connectivity, battery life is still excellent on all three slates, app performance hasn't degraded, and we haven't run into any bugs that require an immediate fix from Apple. We have run into some problems though. We've noticed some speed issues on the iPad mini 2. The lag typically occurs when we pull up Control Center or when we use the keyboard to write out messages or emails. The device will lock up for a few seconds and then return to normal. This is similar to our experience on the iPhone 5 only these problems weren't a problem with the iOS 9.1 update on board. They're new. It's worth noting that we haven't seen these issues on the iPad Air 2 or the iPad Air. We recommend iOS 9.2 for the iPad Air and iPad Air 2, especially if you're an AT&T user. AT&T NumberSync allows you to sync up your iPad to your number so that you can answer phone calls even when your phone isn't around. The bug fixes and security updates are useful as well. If you're using an iPad mini 2, you'll need to tread a little more carefully. We're still recommending the update for its features and security patches but know that there's a potential for problems. Be sure to prepare before you install. | |||||||

I’ve seen the lag you mention on my iphone 5s with 9.2 installed. It’s not mad slow but for the first time I am experiencing some lag at times when pulling up Control center and oddly when opening camera I get a black screen for a sec or two before the camera displays and image in view. Others than that my 5s battery life, and performance is still good for an aging device.

So all in all the iPad Mini 2 is being left in the dust despite being a very popular item this season. With an A7 and 1gb ram on iOS there shouldn’t be any lag issues. I might take the gamble and upgrade only because I have a brand new one with barely anything installed on it.
What?

Iphone 6 does not discover wifi networks after updating to ios 9.2. Tried all possible fixes only to achieve temporary solutions. hope 9.2.1 will fix this issue.

Sounds like NOT installing 9.2 is a good idea, at least for me.

Had a nag window pop up right around black friday to apply this update for features I never used. I resisted for almost 2 weeks but since Apple only gave the option to apply the update immediately, apply the update tonight or remind me tomorrow, I finally gave in and applied the update to shut it up. Now my ipad reboots constantly. Have tried a restore and full reset with no change. I have no doubt that this update was intentionally designed to brick old equipment and drive sales. Never again.

So what you are all saying is not to trust this review…..I will not upgrade.

This update completely destroyed my phone. It went completely dead, it would not restore power or even light up. I had it replaced two days later after my faith of recovery ran out. 3hrs of having my new replacement phone and losing ALL THE CONTENTS IN MY LAST PHONE, the new phone went dead… It still is dead… A day later after being on the charger over night ITS STILL DEAD OMFG, second phone same freakn issue as the first one so now I have to wait 3 more days for another replacement… I’m furious… iPhone 6s

iPad Mini, made space for the 1.3 GB 9.2 update but cancelled, I’m sticking with 8.3 as the update to 9.1 on my other Mk 1 iPad ruined it, it lags and often crashes while browsing Web sites with high content such. Not going to make the same mistake again. Mr Apple should warn all users of older ipads that they will likely run badly after..

Is the full text of the User Agreement for iOS 9.2.1 published anywhere? There used to be a way to request that the UA be sent via email, but I don’t see that option on this version. Google searches yield nothing… I’d just like to know what I’m agreeing to, before I push the “Accept” button.
Ok

My 6s won’t even let me download the new update. It just crashes whenever i hit ‘install now’. I guess it was a good thing though, cause of all the bugs im hearing about.
