iOS 9.2 just released

You can't scroll quickly as with previous iterations. Each tile moves one by one now regardless of fast you swipe across the screen.

Do I have to do a restore on my phone first and then continue with the upgrade in iTunes later for a fresh install? Or upgrade it first and then restore?

That is what reduce motion is about..... reduce motion

Upgraded. Haven't noticed a single difference in performance. Wasn't having any issues prior to the upgrade aside from some occasional unresponsiveness on the keyboard. Could have been the user at times though.

The app switcher with reduce motion enabled is atrocious on 9.2. Who thinks up this crap?

Better that than the lagfest that was the App Switcher in iOS 9.0 and 9.1.

Doesn't work this time around. I believe the last beta is exactly what they officially released yesterday. I also received a carrier update from TMobile right after I tried to update off the beta. So TMobile must have recognized the beta as the official release.

Anyone?

Has anyone happened to try with a device on an old version (like 7.1.1)? A user was scheduled to come in so I could get his phone updated, and today happened to be the day. The update screen actually gave a download size of 1.2k and stuck on Preparing Update. I'm trying through iTunes now.

It's always best to do iTunes updates as versus OTA unless you have no other option.

The build number for the last 9.2 beta (which I installed on my iPhone) and the final release (which I installed on my iPad Air 2, but not any of the betas) are the same: 13C75

Yeah, I just hate iTunes (at least on Windows).

Looks like the update is going through now.

 

[iknrisms]

Did they remove swipe left/right functionality in Apple Music between Music library and Playlists? I used to be able to swipe left to get to Playlists and back right to get to Artists/Albums/etc. view.

No longer.

Anyone else?

No issues with iTunes on Windows, I use it all the time.

I got the 9.2. but i can't seem to get the beta 4 to update. the download is complete. but it won't update.(Unable to install Update. An error occurred installing iOS 9.2 Public beta 4) And the 9.2 build i got is (13C5060d) Im confused!

Anyone?

If you're just going to upgrade from a previous iOS version, simply connect your device to your computer and make a backup via iTunes FIRST! Afterwards, go ahead and select to update your current iOS version. You will not have to restore anything afterwards.

You can also opt to do an OTA update.

With that in mind, if you plan to set up your device as new, go ahead and create a backup first, then put your device in DFU mode, connect it to your computer and then select restore via iTunes. It will install a fresh copy of iOS 9.2.

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

If the above method doesn't work (which it will) then delete the beta profile on your phone settings then try the OTA update again.

Exactly

I'm sad that there isn't a fix for the 6s battery life issues.

The fix is called a 6s Plus or band aid the 6s poor battery with a battery pack.

 

[jestalk]

Installed about 30mins ago and phone is running really hot and draining battery. Lost 15% in last 25 mins and it's only been in my pocket.

I hope it's just indexing or something.

Same problem here with my iPad Air 2, nothing weird on my iPhone 6s yet.
