Nach dem Event am kommenden Montag dürften alle Besitzer von halbwegs aktuellen iPhones, iPads und iPod touches in den Genuss eines größeren iOS-Updates kommen. Version 8.2 steht vor der Tür und dürfte erste Vorbereitungen für die Apple Watch mitbringen. Fünf Betaversionen hatte Apple dem Update spendiert, so dass hoffentlich die nächsten größeren Probleme aus iOS 8 entfernt worden sind. Darüber hinaus bringt das Update aber auch diverse Verbesserungen, vor allem für die Health-App mit. Die Kollegen vom Boy Genius Report haben nun die Releasenotes der finalen internen Vorabversion veröffentlicht, die einen Komplettüberblick über alle Neuerungen bieten.
