Release Date (Rumors)

It is however not officially been stated that when will ios 8.2 update roll out. But since apple unveils everything at a convention where other releases are about to happen so ios 8 2 update is expected to release in March along with Apple Watch. Asides this watch feature there is not much to be excited about for this new update unless apple does something incredibly new in the next beta updates.However, for me, ios 7.1.2 is still the best on my iPhone 4s. Running smoothly with jailbreak.I could get any feature of ios 8 2 update version on my ios 7 using cydia so i think i’ll avoid upgrading my iPhone 4s from the ios 8.2 update.
