iOS 9.2 beta?

[XTheLancerX]

FWIW. http://9to5mac.com/2015/10/22/ios-9-2-in-development/

Definitely a thing, as I suspected. I just hope it's an "iOS 7.1". Pretty much only refinements in other words.

I feel like there's a chance at it being the new 7.1. We had all the 8.x updates because there were tons of new devices to add support for, and even add in features that just didn't make it to initial public release! iOS 9 as far as I'm aware, is finished with the main features and device support. 9.1 was our iPad Pro and Apple TV update. 9.2 I think can finally allow for refinements.

Not much news there really as it's pretty much expected that Apple would already be working on the next update, just as they are already working on the next major iOS version update, just as they are working on the next iPhone (and other devices).

Yeppers. But, it's fun to fan the inferno once in a while - yes, it's a slow day here today for me...

I'm still thinking we're on the "new" 7.0.4, but I haven't made any clean installs yet on my updated devices. I still have an iPhone 6 - our office backup - on 8.4.1. My VZW LTE iPad 3 keeps dropping service despite being in between two towers with new LTE arrays, an updated carrier profile, and a network reprovisioning or two. I'll have some time over the weekend since for a clean install, then I can be judgmental about iOS 9.1!

I think my iPad 3 needs a big brother soon...

You should hop into one of the many iOS 9 "lag" threads.

More like 9.1.1.

x.x.1 updates don't normally happen outside of initial x.0.x releases and final builds of that version of iOS. Example of iOS 8 there was no 8.1.1, 8.2.1, 8.3.1. 8.4 got a 8.4.1 because 8.4 was the final version of iOS 8.

Well, there is and there isn't.

9.2 (or any non x.1.x release) usually include additional FEATURES or more defined enhancements to either base or new functionality or to address some serious deficiencies in functionality or features but not necessarily bad bug fixes.

These releases are generally reserved just for the actual developer community and not for the public beta community. (we only have a few examples so that doesn't necessarily a trend make)

We would probably get a 9.1.1. public beta, but my bet is that we wouldn't see a 9.2 PUBLIC beta.

There WILL be a public beta for 9.2. You're crazy to think there wouldn't. The Public Beta Program started with 8.3 and has had a public beta builds since (minus 8.4.1) Since the launch of the Public Beta Program there has been 8.3, 8.4, 9.0 and 9.1. It's not a "just a trend" when since the introduction of the program there has been public betas along side developer previews. (In many cases even same day releases for builds)

OS X has been the exact same since the Public Beta Program started summer 2014 with Yosemite. That got 10.10, 10.10.1, 10.10.2, 10.10.3, 10.10.4, 10.10.5, 10.11, 10.11.1

Possible beta for 9.2?

A little patience

I mean, they did publicly beta test 8.4.1. And seeing as that was more of a maintenance update than an emergency update like 9.0.1 & 9.0.2, we may get the same thing again, assuming nothing goes horribly wrong with 9.1.

They did ?
I forgot about it.
Thanks for the info update.

They didn't public beta iOS 8.4.1. Only a developer beta.

Still, the fact they did a beta of an X.x.1 was unusual.

That makes NO sense. You want the public to test your additional features to make sure they function properly. You want developers to make sure the changes in your sub releases (X.x.1) don't break their apps, since no new functionality is being added. If your way was true, we would have not gotten an 8.3, 8.4, or 9.1 public beta, and we would've gotten an 8.4.1 public beta.

No. Frickin'. Way.

The only lag I like involves an alcohol beverage or three.

same here, it feels "strange" to be normal again....

They usually pump out betas one after another.

@aldrinjtauro
Actually that isn't the case, there actually was an 8.1.1, (with performance improvements) as well as 8.1.2, and 8.1.3.

9.2 will just be another batch of new emojis...

Possible beta for 9.2?

What's the point of such questions? It'll come when it comes. Noone here has any inside information about it. If they have, they're certainly not giving it out.
