Apple iOS 9.2.1 Beta Testing On iPhone, iPad, & iPad Touch Begins After Tech Giant Releases New Software Version For iOS Developers

If you're a registered Apple developer, there's good news for you because the biggest tech company just released the beta testing for the iOS 9.2.1.

According to 9To5Mac, the iOS 9.2.1 beta is now ready to be tested for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The new software version features build number 13D11, which compares to last week's iOS 9.2 rlease at 13C75.

The first iOS 9.2.1 update likely includes further bug fixes and performance improvements after last week's official iOS 9.2 release.

However Techno Buffalo noted that because this is not exactly the iOS 9.3, users are cautioned to not expect major updates for the latest Apple mobile OS.

Having said that, the new version included a long list of under-the-hood tweaks plus a few public facing features, which include more 3D Touch support in iBooks, better support for Classical music in Apple Music, Arabic Siri and support for Apple's Lightning to SD Card Reader adapters, both new and old.

In addition, there are also rumors saying that this update will bring back the NumberSync feature, which was originally included in the iOS 9.2 betas, but was pulled before the official launch.

NumberSync is a new tech from AT&T that will allow connected devices such as the iPad to take and receive phone calls even out of range of an iPhone.

As noted by Gotta Be Mobile, we would like to reiterate that this update is only available for developers, who paid for a developer account.

If you are a registered developer, tech experts strongly suggests that before you install the 9.2.1, you should be familiar with the iOS 9.2.1 first so that you won't face problems.

Some developers are complaining that they are encountering some problems that plagued the 9.2.1, so you better check a myriad of sources for feedback before installing the update.

We know that this might be obvious for you by now, but before you install the update, make sure that you are home or anywhere near a stable power source to minimize risk of draining your battery while updating. This will prevent loss of data and any other problems.

There have been reports regarding glitches wherein users' iPhones got drained while updating and when they turned it on, their handsets started acting up.

Furthermore, weigh carefully if the 9.2.1 beta update is really worth it for now, afterall, this is not a major update and will be officially available in just a few months.
