[nouveau-apple]

Wait! Hold on everybody. I wouldn't upgrade to iOS 9 either. Y'all know how this go.

Although I like that image, it would have pissed a lot more people

im calling wait and see.. if 10:00 am PST comes today and no watch OS 2 release then its delayed.

 

[Jsameds]

Well I have the GM installed

The GM will likely have this bug, you know..

 

[xPad]

This sucks. iOS 9 is incompatible with watch OS 1.0.1.

That's untrue. Don't spread lies.

Clearly Apple doesn't care about the Watch as a key product line. At wwdc they glossed over the watch, and didn't really highlight anything for it. And now it shows they aren't really devoting resources to it, having been through multiple betas.

I'm starting to regret my purchase of this expensive watch that only shows notifications

Really?

 

[mikezmac]

Well ios 9 is more performance so I wasn't too excited. Watch os2 however I was excited about.

Haven't noticed it.

watchOS 2 GM and El Capitán GM are running flawlessly on my devices (the same can't be said about 9.0 GM and 9.1).

I wonder what that bug could be? I haven't encountered any so far...

 

[Marc101]

Really?

He would have said the exact same thing if they released it with the bug. There's just no pleasing some people.

 

[bribri99]

Really?

yes. and i'm an apple fanatic. but catching major bugs at GM is a depature from best practices in the beta process

 

[bribri99]

How bout this: catch the but during beta, not GM?

 

[Jsameds]

Haven't noticed it.

How do you know? You don't know what it is. It could be a serious security flaw for all we know.

It's not like Apple to pull an update over something minor...

 

[tivoboy]

This sucks. iOS 9 is incompatible with watch OS 1.0.1. I get no notifications

Not related ive been on 9 a while now and 1.01 and everything works fine

How about this: Become a programmer and realise that this is not always possible.

 

[haruhiko]

This is going to be a problem because if you have iOS 9 and WatchOS 1, Siri on the watch is unable to open any apps or start a workout.

Seriously? Should I postpone my iOS 9 update since I use the workout app every day.

 

[vertsix]

I hope this doesn't screw up the iOS 9 launch.

Because, like, let's face it. How many people have Apple Watches? Like 6.

iPhones? Millions.

 

[navaira]

^^ liking because it gave me a good laugh and I needed one today!

 

[KPOM]

That's very unlike Apple, even after months of beta testing!?

After last year's debacle with iOS 8.0.1 I'm sure they don't want a repeat. Perhaps the issue was with the OTA updater. As you may recall, iOS 8.0.1 if downloaded in full wasn't buggy, but if you updated OTA then it disabled the cellular functions of your phone.

 

[bribri99]

How about this: Become a programmer and realise that this is not always possible.

So a programmer just found this bug today when they are going to release? Sounds like a crappy programmer

9.1 fixed that issue. In any event, I'm disappoint. But I guess I can wait.

My product red band arriving tomorrow partially alleviates my sadness.

 

[Newtons Apple]

Well at least no one on MacRumors will have anything bad to say about this.

I would not take a bet on that!

I've been running iOS 9 since beta 1 with WatchOS1 without issue. Now I'm running 9.1 with OS1, still no issues.

This is good news: now I don't have to run home to get my Watch charger to install the OS.
