iOS 8.2 disponibile per il download: supporto per Apple Watch e app Salute migliorata

L’evento Spring Forward di Apple ha portato con sé le novità che tutti quanti aspettavamo su Apple Watch, riguardanti inevitabilmente anche il sistema operativo iOS dei dispositivi dell’azienda di Cupertino che si trovano già in commercio.

Tra le novità, troviamo iOS 8.2 pronto per essere scaricato, con l’aggiornamento effettuato da Apple oggi stesso: diverse le migliorie in ballo, visto che il lavoro degli ingegneri della società guidata da Tim Cook ha riguardato anche una serie di interventi sulla stabilità del software, ma non solo. Gli elementi più macroscopici in termini di nuove funzionalità riguardano diverse migliorie all’applicazione Health, in arrivo insieme alla compatibilità ad Apple Watch in preparazione all’arrivo di quest’ultimo sul mercato.

Come al solito, iOS 8.2 è disponibile sia come aggiornamento over the air (OTA), sia in download attraverso iTunes. Per chi dovesse invece essere alla ricerca dei link diretti, li riportiamo a fine post insieme all’elenco completo delle release notes pubblicate da Apple. Ricordiamo che iOS 8.2 funziona coi modelli di dispositivo iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPod touch di quinta generazione, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad di terza e quarta generazione, iPad mini, e iPad 2.
