New updates are always awesome and iOS 9.2 doesn't fail to satisfy expectations. It's smooth, fast as ever and less laggy. I have been testing the iOS 9.2 for about two days now. And before we go any further please note that I am coming from 8.4 so iOS 9 itself is quite new to me. So if I talk about things that were already there treat this as a basic iOS 9 Review.

The first noticeable difference is the new search page that is added to your home page. The last time I personally saw this was in iOS 6. It was missing in iOS 8. Basically its a search bar for everything on your device and on the web. It also includes a bunch of apps under the title 'Siri Suggestions'. I don't find much use there unless you are bored. The pull down search from your app page isn't gone though.
Coming to the biggest change since iOS 8 is multi tasking. Basically you can have two apps in the same page. Pulling the right side of your screen would give you a lost of apps which support multitasking and you can easily view another app on the side. This feature is quite convenient when you actually don't want to leave. Also videos can be played anywhere on the screen in a small space when you are doing something else. That's a plus.
The next one is the keyboard. There is a considerable change in the font and it feels different and nice to use. There's a clipboard on the left side, undo options and some editing options. On the whole it's a more stable and feature added keyboard which is pretty nice to type when you are working on a document or your normal stuff.
The notification bar is also different. The way it looks in landscape mode feels more organized. Widgets also look better.

Photos also now better organization. There are new folders for screenshots, selfies etc.
Two new apps, Find iPhone and Find Friends were also automatically installed.
Something I find extremely better is that there's a lot of noticeable bug fixes. Really good ones. When I was using Facebook on Safari, and tapped on comments some how the keyboard comes up weirdly. I don't know exactly if it's a bug but it was troublesome. But it's perfect now. And when using settings, sometimes I got only half the screen. The other half was hidden. Now it's perfect.
I felt something Apple messed up is the Original wallpapers they had. They were pretty good but now they removed all of them and most are black ones. That's pretty bad. Probably I will search for good ones.
So yes, if you are using an older iOS version, there isn't any problem in iOS 9.2 and in fact it's awesome. Go ahead. Sometimes you will be in the Que for the update. Wait patiently. It's worth it.
According to Apple, they have added 3D Touch to iBooks, improved Apple Music and improved the Email services. Thanks for reading!
