redesign_ios8_mf1
Well what do you know? After holding off on iOS 8.2’s release a touch longer than initially expected, Apple has pushed iOS 8.2 out to the public. As we noted in an exclusive report last week,
iOS 8.2 brings plenty of enhancements, stability improvements, bug
fixes and more to Apple’s mobile devices. It also includes a number of
improvements to the Health app, Apple Watch compatibility and some more
behind-the-scenes changes.
iOS
8.2 is available to anyone and everyone as an over the air (OTA) update
that can be installed by opening your Settings app and navigating to
General > Software Update. If you would rather connect to your
computer to install it, or if you don’t have enough free storage space
for the update, you can download it through iTunes as well.
As
for compatibility, iOS 8.2 will work with the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus,
iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, fifth-generation iPod touch,
iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, fourth-gen iPad, iPad
mini, third-gen iPad, and iPad 2.
Last but not least, here’s the full change log that was given to Apple’s carrier partners, and you’ll only find it here on BGR:
