watchOS 9.5 available for download. Alongside iOS 16.5, Apple has also released the latest version of the update for Apple Watch, bringing the system to watchOS 9.5, now available for download for all users.
Apple launches Beats Studio Buds+
The launch of watchOS 9.5, build number 20T562, took place after a short period of beta testing, with the third experimental version provided to developers for the usual tests on April 25th.
The beta versions have not shown significant changes in the functionality of the operating system, which is why it is likely that this update will focus mainly on bug fixes, as well as bring performance improvements.
It is also probable that, in view of the upcoming launch of watchOS 10 at WWDC 2023 next June, Apple has preferred to postpone new features, precisely to present them with a dedicated keynote.
