iOS 8.2 is available today as an over-the-air download.

Apple is already working on the next update to iOS, iOS 8.3, and iOS 8.4 is also said to be in the works.

Update 11:52 AM: iOS 8.2 is now available as an over-the-air download.

OK, lets go!

Please tell me there is a way I can hide those two Apple Watch apps. No point on having them if I don't get an Apple Watch.

I've not kept track; aside from :apple:

Watch support, what's else is included?

Nothing. Well, bug fixes, one would hope.

Not available yet!

8.2 isn't OTA on Verizon yet. Maybe after the announcement.

Well, it seems that "today" was used rather than "now", so I guess not that unusual that it's not available just yet.

If there's no bug fixes, then Apple can jump in a hole. I'll wait.

There better be bug fixes or this update is pointless and no I am not running out to get a first gen Apple Watch, I will wait for the next gens and see where it goes.

Why would there be a release with no bug fixes?

If I got it right, you'll have to download them from App Store so no hiding needed.
