iOS 9.2 Beta 4?

No, Beta 4. Just a reminder that the teams are not the same for iOS and OS X. We could see a release for one and not the other.
Usually at the usual time, which has passed already (not that betas are out on just Tuesdays or that they are usually released at a different time on other days).
If not tonight then it's most likely either going to go gold master or general release by Friday
The build number is similar to that of a public release build number. Beta build numbers are typically longer with a letter at the end when compared to a public release build number.
Man you guys are impatient! (Me too!) But don't you think they should give us a couple more betas? 9.1 has only been out for like 28 days! I hope they take their sweet time and polish this baby up and get it right instead of just shooting out these releases that really haven't changed much. My 2 cents.
beta 3 has been my daily driver on ipad and its much better than 9.1
Daily on my Air 2 and 6s. Much, much better than 9.1. My battery is 3X better.
There probably won't be a gm. Public will probably be released next considering they skipped today.
The length of the "Bugs" list in the beta 3 thread tells me we need more betas. The more betas the longer I'll have to wait for a new jailbreak so I can update but I agree that they should really take their time polishing this one up.
I've gotten used to the performance of 9.0.2 so I'm hoping I'll notice some improvements when I do finally make the jump.

A lot of the discussion in those type of threads has been consisting of back and forth talk about essentially the same occasional stutters in animations that some people see and some don't.
But bugs, nonetheless. Are you saying they shouldn't be fixed before final release?
I know. The lag/stutter argument is like a cancer on these boards. Can't read a single thread without seeing it brought up. Luckily the thread I referenced is a wiki so I only need look at the first post to see how the beta is performing.
It is physically impossible to fix every single bug. Bugs that prevent use of the device are top priority. When you fix one bug, it usually creates another, thats just how software works. So because the majority of the bugs are aesthetic, I don't personally think it deserve top priority, until every single major bug is eliminated first.
Most of the "bugs" in the beta 3 thread are wacky bugs that it you happen to or 3 functions in succession rapidly, something no one would do in real life, the bug occurs. That's not a major bug that needs to be addressed now just because someone figured out an unnatural combination or sequence of actions to force a glitch.
Another 2 or 3 are bugs continuing from iOS 9.1 and earlier (one mentions iOS8), not new bugs caused by 9.2. They may never be fixed or sometime who knows when. Doesn't mean 9.2 is buggy.
Another 2-4 are MINOR visual glitches or animation glitches; minor at best as they only bother the true .01% of OCD people.
