Orrrrrr again, Apple gave employees the whole Thanksgiving week off so how do you expect them to keep the same timeline a previous betas while losing a week of work/programming?

Some of you are just sad at this point getting over excited about a beta release and posting the countdown daily and oh today oh today, day after day over and over.

Go live a bit and follow @iOSReleases or @iOSOTA on twitter and you will get notified when the beta hits on twitter the minute it hits Apple's servers.

They keep it with El Capitan

Im in dilemma. I stayed on iOS 8.4.1 should I update to 9.2 when it comes out? Once I update theres no going back :(

Sorry for off topic
As I've mentioned to others before -- if you share concerns with others regarding speed or stutter or lag or such -- let others go first. Wait for comparison videos. See what those who are critical of iOS 9 say. Because, as you state, it is not reversible -- 8.4.1 is no longer being signed. I'm not aware of any major problems or critical exploits in 8.4.1 that warrant moving asap to iOS 9. And almost all iOS apps run on iOS 8. I'm sure you'd know already if any of your particular apps require iOS 9 to run.

Secondarily, at this point, I would ask you what is your desire or interest in iOS 9 for? If it's just to run the latest code, I'd suggest that is a bad reason -- on the basis that you'd get upgrade remorse. The biggest additions, for iPhone, in iOS 9 seems to be the so-called "intelligence" allowing Siri to help with different things or provide suggestions, the "news" app, and possibly the changes to "Notes". Those don't really strike me as a big deal. Smaller details like iCloud drive access, updates to Passbook (now Wallet), Transit directions in Maps, or Wi-Fi calling for AT&T might be more tangible.

On the iPad, you also get different levels multi-tasking which might be a bigger deal. Personally, though, I've never really had the desire to run two things at once. But, I thought maybe i'd be nice when I'm getting texts or iMessages, but i've not found it super useful. For me, its quick enough to double tap switch to Messages, read, respond, and switch back.

IMO, I think someone could easily pass on iOS 9. My interest in iOS 9 was more the smaller details. Never had any interest in Jailbreaking so losing that by upgrading wasn't a concern of mine.

I'm curious what others think.

Fake if Iv every seen it Siri points you to apples website when you ask about iOS
There was the same kind of Russian Siri answer for one of the previous recent updates (for iOS 9.1 I think), and that turned out to be correct. (Certainly could have been faked even then, and just a coincidence, but a few sources provided their versions of it in a similar release thread at the time, and, like I said, it turned out to be right then.)

Easy to guess, sure, and could coincidentally be right, sure, but as you have seen based on all the guessing in this thread alone, plenty of incorrect guesses all the time too, so perhaps not as easy after all. So far only one point of reference really, so hard to say much about it with confidence, so we'll see what happens in this case.

But I'm pretty sure Siri around the world will give everyone the same answer when they ask when will iOS 9.2 be released... It's run of the same servers for everyone.

Well, seems like it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility of having different answers provided in different areas or circumstances. Hard to rule it out. It's strange that anything would be provided about an upcoming release, but again, several people have provided different versions of it in one of the previous threads, making it somewhat less likely to be fake (even though it certainly could still be). So who knows.

I actually just quit my good-paying job, divorced my wife, and put my kids up for adoption. I donated all my belongings and burned my house down. I cut up my social security card and my drivers license.

The only thing I need now is my iPhone. I'm going to live in my local Starbucks until 9.2 hits because at this point, nothing else in life really matters. My life is in the hands of the Almighty El Timothy Cookenstein.
