Apple Says Watch Has Connectivity Issues, Fix in the Offing

AAPL FORM AMAT

Apple Inc (AAPL - Free Report) has acknowledged that its latest Apple Watch OS 3 Series has issues with cellular connectivity and assured that its engineers are working on the problem and the fix will be “soon” available with the future software release. Shares were down over 1.6% yesterday.

Apple’s comments came after several prominent reviewers lambasted the Watch for its repeated failure to connect to LTE. Apple had touted the built-in cellular as the USP of the Watch.

Lauren Goode of The Verge said that she persistently faced troubles connecting to cellular network. After having her first review unit replaced by a second unit by Apple, the problems remained. The “untethered” experience was intermittent. Plus, Watch seemed to connect to random wi-fi signals. Plus, Siri didn’t work smoothly. She was able to make calls manually via Watch but the battery drain was quick.
