Many of us are wondering right now when reading the headline of this news that of: what the hell are all the beta versions that are previously released for? It seems that in this case they have not been of much use to a few users who have seen how their Apple watch stuck on apple after restart and does not update.
In this case it seems that only affects Apple Watch Series 4 modelsAll of these new watches are susceptible to this bug when upgrading to watchOS 5.1. Of course Apple is already working on it and we will have an update available again soon, but for now some users will have to wait for Apple's move ...
What if I am already up to date?
Well, congratulations, in my personal case I can say that the update of my Apple Watch Series 4 Nike + has worked perfectly and therefore we do not have to do anything. It seems that not a large number of users are affected for this failure, but with a few it is enough for Apple to withdraw the update as it just happened.
For now If you skip the update and you have an Apple Watch Series 4, it is best to wait and do not update ... It has material that we say this, but so it is this time until Apple does not solve the failure with this new version. We understand that it will be in the next few hours when version 5.1 will be available again with the correction to the failure (they are usually fast in these cases) so being patient is what we have to do. Those who have the problem on their Apple Watch will also have to wait for Apple to release the fix.
Exactly that happened to me yesterday, the apple remains after the update. Solution: force restart the watch. The problem is that I have also had problems linking it back to the iPhone. But once achieved, when checking from the iPhone the version of WatchOs gives me 5.1. If the "corrected" version is uploaded again, I will update again. Apparently the clock is fine, I have not seen any malfunction. I have to check if the battery lasts longer with the new version. All the best.
Another brick here. Call Apple and start up repair / replacement. I understand that they send a new one, really.
No restart option works for me (as it does for many people around the world), that is why what is indicated in the news of "waiting for a solution from Apple" is none other than sending the device and they will send you another or repair it ... because with devices that do not "connect" little we can do at home. 22 days it lasted me.
Auspicious days
And I still have the same problem as with the previous version, my contacts do not appear in activity, I only appear
The same has happened to me, I have Apple watch series 4 nike with 15 days. And there is no way to reboot. Apple told me that the only solution is to go to Apple to get it fixed or change it for a new one.
Another with the apple in an Apple Watch 4, unfortunately Apple.
Another one that joins the group I have it for only 5 days and it is unusable, I am waiting for them to repair or change me
The only solution is to take it and have it exchanged for another. They already changed me into mine.
If they change it and the new one is updated normally, the problem should be hardware.
The unfortunate thing is the silence of Apple and the passivity of the addicted apple media.
We await news, comments, opinions. The matter is serious, very serious in a company of the relevance of Apple. It is not acceptable that those of us who have bought this item 20 days ago are in doubt as to whether we will have the right to replacement. Any "repair" is not admissible.
This is Apple !!!
