There has been a lot of love for the Apple Watch since it was released into the wild, however 9to5Mac report that there is a seeming growing issue with Apple Watch owners not being able to downgrade the Watch OS.

Well its that time of year again! WWDC 2015 or as I put it, Christmas in June for Apple fans.

True to the title of a developers conference, and despite some earlier rumours of Apple TV refreshes and possible new Macs, no new hardware materialized. Todays focus was completely on software.
