iOS 10.2.1 Beta (14D10) Update

Apple has just dropped iOS 10.2.1 beta 1 for developers. The contents of the update are currently unknown. iOS 10.2 included newly redesigned emojis, the TV app for US users, a couple of new screen effects in Messages, amongst other enhancements.

The first seed of iOS 10.2.1 weighs in at 1.82 GB for developers over-the-air. Given the minor bump in version number, this is likely a simple bug fix release.

Apple seeded the iOS 10.2.1 beta for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch on December 14th to developers with build number 14D10. iOS 10.2.1 will undoubtedly be released to members of the public beta program in a few days. For more visit Apple Developers Blog
