Apple watchOS 6.1 is here, Watch Series 1 and 2 also invited
Apple released watchOS 6 for Watch Series 3 and 4 back in September, and earlier this month the company rolled out watchOS 6.0.1 with some bug fixes. Now, Apple is seeding watchOS 6.1 for all models of its smartwatch, including Series 1 and 2, which were excluded from the initial rollout.
watchOS 6.1 doesn't come with any major new features but brings in some improvements and bug fixes. However, users of Watch Series 1 and 2 should expect a new digital clock as well as new Calculator, Voice Memos, and Audiobooks apps. You can head over here to learn more about watchOS 6.
