Apple must once again release a software update, this time landing on watchOS 11.1 Beta 3 for Apple Watch developer models. Following reports of users experiencing issues such as device freezing, locking up, and being unable to do anything other than restarting after updating, Apple has temporarily halted the release of beta 3 updates.
Previously, Apple had issues with software updates, leading to the suspension of updates for both iPadOS 18 on the iPad Pro with M4 chip for general users experiencing device crashes, and HomePod 18.1 Beta 2 software causing devices to shut down completely.
The problem with watchOS 11.1 is likely to affect developers specifically, similar to the HomePod case, and may not have a widespread impact on general users like the iPadOS 18 situation. However, with three consecutive cases within less than three weeks, it does become a point of concern.
