Introducing the Apple Watch

Watch connected Apple is finally here! Presentation of a watch that could change the way you look now.


Expected for many months (years?), Apple shows was finally officially unveiled in a Flint Center in turmoil. It must be said that the watch was entitled to the famous "One More Thing" and finally little information had leaked around this rather important announcement for Apple.

Let's start with the name of the show which will surprise to some because Apple decided not to use the term "iWatch" taken for years by the media, but Apple Watch.

Shows a rectangular connected to minimalist design, we note the presence of two buttons including a scroll wheel value that will replace the HD Retina display touchscreen. A screen that is entitled to protection sapphire. Finally we appreciate the bracelet with magnetic closure.

Note that three versions will be available (Apple Watch, Apple and Apple Watch Watch Sport Edition and a special edition 18 karat gold) to be compatible with the iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 More .

In terms of the software part, there is a redesigned version of iOS in which Siri is obviously present and who is entitled to his own store.

As for features, the watch can interact with the Mac to control the music, for example with the iPhone and it is an extension. Indeed, as with Android Wear watches, it remains dependent on the smartphone, Apple Watch can also use the GPS of the iPhone, and relies heavily on health. We also appreciate its water resistance.



Watch Apple will indeed be able to give us information about our physical activity (calories burned, heart rate, exercise duration) through three applications: Activity, Fitness and Workout. It will be recalled that the theme of Health had already been discussed during the WWDC and the presentation of the application Healthet Healthkit. In addition, the watch will also be able to use a remote control for the Apple TV.

Finally, the watch connected Apple will benefit from Apple Service Pay with its NFC chip.

Two bad news is, however, worth noting. The first concerns the autonomy of the watch that has not been revealed, Apple chose to highlight the induction charging system. The second is the release date since the launch of this watch is scheduled for early 2015.

Apple Watch will be available from $ 349.
