Apple iOS 9.2 Launched: Apple Music, Mail Drop, Siri Get Upgrade
Lastly, Cue sharing that Apple is developing a more featured Remote app for iOS is a change from the no comment given between the Apple TV’s launch at the end of October and yesterday’s fix. We already know this.
Apple also released updates for Mac software, OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 and it includes several improvements related to Wi-Fi reliability, Handoff and AirDrop. When a download of a song is completed, users will see a new download indicator next to the song.
Finally, Apple also rolled out an update to its most recent hardware – the fourth generation Apple TV. This is definitely a soothing piece of information for music lovers. Now it’s back, and lets you send large file attachments by storing the large file in iCloud instead of directly attaching it to the mail message.
With 3D Touch, users can quickly peek at pages from the table of contents, or their notes and bookmarks.
One of the long-awaited features is the AT&T NumberSync that allows users to make calls with other Apple devices like iPad and Apple Watch. iOS 9.2 now brings full support for NumberSync function.
Users still experiencing the problem after upgrading to iOS 9.2 can perform a hard reset by holding down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time until they see the Apple logo. The size of the OTA update on an iPhone 6s is 271MB, while on an iPad Mini 4 it’s 260MB.
Meanwhile on the security side the update brings a total of 30 fixes, relating to issues found by both researchers at Apple and those at other vendors, including Google and Yahoo. The official release stamps out a number of bugs. Apple has also fixed an iPad glitch that caused the screen to go blank when users tried to start recording video. Apple’s wearable operating system now supports a right-to-left user interface with the appropriate language, and Siri will understand each of the new dialects. However, making things sweeter is Apple Remote support for the new Apple TV (which is a first) and the new watchOS 2.1’s built-in Remote works as an d-pad for navigation as well. We believe that frequent updates and new services will not only help Apple to maintain its customer base but also expand its market share.
