Apple Delays Release Of watchOS 2 Due To Unspecified Bug

Today Apple will release iOS 9, and Apple Watch users were also supposed to receive an update to watchOS 2 which comes with a number of significant improvements to Apple’s wearable OS. Unfortunately, it appears that those users will have to wait a bit longer, as the watchOS 2 update has been delayed due to an unspecified bug. TechCrunch shared the below statement from Apple confirming that the update will be delayed.

“We have discovered a bug in development of watchOS 2 that is taking a bit longer to fix than we expected. We will not release watchOS 2 today but will shortly.”

Apple has had issues with updates in recent times, such as the iOS 8.0.1 update that affected Touch ID and calling functionality on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Because the Apple Watch is managed from your iPhone and has no way to be connected to iTunes by a user for a restore it’s extremely important that Apple ensures the stability of updates before shipping them. It’s not clear exactly what “shortly” means, but it’s likely that Apple will not want to delay their planned launch for any longer than necessary.

The Apple iOS 9 Review

2015 has been a pretty big year for Apple as a company. Product launches this year included the Apple Watch, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the iPad Mini 4, the iPad Pro, and the new Apple TV. This month is a big month for their software launches, with today marking the release of iOS 9 as well as watchOS 2, and OS X El Capitan launching at the very end of the month. I hope to do some sort of review of the new features in watchOS 2, but today’s article focuses strictly on iOS 9 and everything new that Apple is bringing to their biggest operating system for both users and developers. Read on for the AnandTech review of iOS 9.
