Apple releases iOS 9.2, OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan, watchOS 2.1 -- here's what's new

Apple must believe that all good things come in threes, because it just released new updates for its three major operating systems, bringing iOS 9.2, OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan and watchOS 2.1 to its users.

The updates are quite extensive, packing lots of bug fixes, performance and stability improvements, and new functionality. Most changes are brought by iOS 9.2 and watch OS 2.1, while OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan is more focused in the areas it is designed to improve upon.

To name just a few of the changes listed by Apple for iOS 9.2, we now have the ability to create a new playlist when adding a song to a playlist in Apple Music, a new Top Stories section in the News app, support for Mail Drop in the Mail app, support for 3D Touch in the iBooks app, improvements to the stability of Safari and Podcasts, and bug fixes for Live Photos, Contacts, Calendar, Camera and Health apps.

On the OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan side of things, Apple claims to have improved the reliability of Wi-Fi, Handoff and AirDrop, fixed issues with Bluetooth, Mail and importing photos, and improved iCloud Photo Sharing for Live Photos.

As far as Apple Watch users are concerned, watchOS 2.1 brings with it support for new languages (and the right-to-left user interface, to match that), new complications for Islamic and Hebrew calendars, and bug fixes for Calendar and Power Reserve, to name some of the changes.

All three updates are available now for all the usual suspects: iPhones, iPads, iPod touch devices, Macs and Apple Watch.
