After iOS 8.2 released during the Spring Forward Event, many dedicated Apple fans were eager to upgrade their phone to experience the new features of the latest version of iOS. However, the feedback since the update doesn't sound good.
iOS 8.2 fixed many bugs in the last version of iOS, such as audio files you deleted but still stay in your iPhone, and to prepare the phone more stable to run new Apps, such as Music and Map. Furthermore, it improved the Fitness App.
Once your iPhone successfully pairs with your Apple Watch, you can check the Fitness data on Apple Watch. After upgrading, you are able to choose different units for distance, temperature, height, weight and blood sugar. It is compatible with iPhone 5 and other devices.
However, many people find their power drains significantly faster after upgrading. Some people claimed that, usually, their phone would lose 1% for every 20 minutes, but now, the battery drains around 47% within 30 minutes after upgrading to iOS 8.2. What's more, 16 GB version iPhones will randomly crash and restart to install the package as big as 278 MB.
After upgrading your iPhone to iOS 8.2, you will find some Apps you never installed silently waiting on your home screen. That’s the Apple Watch App! It comes preloaded with the iOS 8.2 update. Apple Watch will be available on April 10. In other words, the Apple Watch can be seen as a video ad in your iPhone until April 10th. What's more, the Apple Watch App cannot be removed.
Anyways, iOS 8.2 prepares your iPhone for Apple Watch. You can still wait for and see how iOS 9.0 will turn out instead if you aren't so eager to try out the Apple Watch.
