Apple may be launching version 8.2 of its iOS mobile operating system as soon as Monday – the same time tech firm is expected to reveal more about its Apple Watch.

The update will come with a number of new and improved health features and bug fixes (listed below).

The company was going to release iOS 8.2 earlier, according to blog Boy Genius Report. However, the Cupertino-based firm decided to push out one final build to testers.

Credit for the information goes to BGR, which got its hands on the complete changelog and build number (12D508) from internal testers.
