During Apple’s event last week, it was announced that watchOS 2 would be released alongside iOS 9 today. That’s apparently changed according to Tech Crunch who has a statement from Apple that says that the OS for the Apple Watch family is delayed due to a bug:
Apple has delayed the release of watchOS 2, which was expected to be available today to owners of the Apple Watch.
“We have discovered a bug in development of watchOS 2 that is taking a bit longer to fix than we expected,” an Apple spokesperson told TechCrunch. “We will not release watchOS 2 today but will shortly.”
I actually like this. After the gong show that was iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite which were both clearly kicked out to the world before they were ready for prime time, Apple clearly has learned from that and made the decision to hold the software back until it is actually ready. Kudos to them for doing what’s right.
I’ll posting a story on iOS 9 when that hits the streets, which should be around 1PM Eastern based on Apple’s recent track record.
