Apple has announced that it is delaying the release of watchOS 2 due to a bug.

“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.”

Apple is still expected to release iOS 9 to the public today. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

I'm not sure what bug it is (the argument about the servers not being able to scale for both iOS and WatchOS seems plausible)--I'm betting it has to do with the wireless only update, and being unable to roll back without a diagnostic cable. Can you imagine Apple bricking a bunch of $500+ devices with an "update"? Either that, or it no longer tells time.

Watch AppStore not working, blank screen not loading. Anyone having the same issue?

It's their 2nd watch OS. Give them a break. At least we still have the great executed watch OS 1 before any more surprises come from OS 2. All the wait may pay off.

So, what happens to those with iOS 9 on the phone and WatchOS 1 on the watch? I have just installed the iOS 9 and the pairing was gone. Tried to pair it once and got an error. As I did a clena install of the iOS 9, I will wait for all apps to download (hours and hours to go) before attempting to pair again. Wish me luck.
