A week after the official launch of the final version of iOS 9.2, Apple released a couple of days ago the first beta of iOS 9.2.1 for developers and 24 hours later the public beta, so that all users want to help improve performance by installing it can do it. IOS 9.2.1 has been available for a couple of days and now the first speed tests have been carried out on older devices to check if the operation of this new version speeds up the operation of the most veteran devices and for the moment from what we have been able to see it is.
Despite Apple's promises during WWDC that they would focus on improving the performance of older devices, this improvement has been a long time coming in the form of updates. In the videos that we show you below, we can see some improvement in performance, it is not very big but everything seems to indicate that the guys from Cupertino have really focused on improving the operation of the devices that have been with us the longest.

Performance test iOS 9.2 and iOS 9.2.1 on iPhone 4s
Despite being a beta version, iOS 9.2.1, we can see how in the device takes less time to open certain applications native names such as Messages and Camera. Presumably, the next betas will improve the performance and agility with which the rest of the system applications that come installed natively run.
The guys at @iApplebytes, who have done the tests, periodically perform speed tests on all devices compatible with the latest version of iOS 9 to check if their performance improves or worsens with each new version.
It would be very good to stop testing the latest iOS against the previous one, and to do it against a much earlier version such as iOS 8 or iOS 7 .. There we would really see how it works….
Hahahaha very well said
Laments from users who have been restoring their iPhone from iOS 3 complaining that iOS 9 is fatal below the line ...

ios 9.0 and later, it is garbage for ipad 2, being my case closures of most apps
I totally agree with the first comment. You have to make comparisons between 9.2.1 and the latest version of 8, that is, 8.4
