Apple released iOS 9.2 download for compatible iPhone, iPad, iPod touch devices over aweek back, and today, the company is rolling out the next point update for its mobile operating system - iOS 9.2.1. And at this point, it's very early to tell what's new in this update, but given what past releases have brought with them, we're quite certain that iOS 9.2.1 is a big fixing and performance enhancing release, nothing more, nothing less. But of course, we could be wrong, and there are chances that Apple might've slipped in a big surprise or two along with the update that is bound to enhance the overall functionality of Cupertino's mobile device lineup.

The iOS 9.2.1 beta download is available to registered developers only at this point, which means that you must be a paying dev with Apple in order to grab the necessary pre-release resources.

Besides, the membership will give you straight up access to pre-release software before anyone else, which includes iOS, OS X, watchOS, tvOS.
