And say you come across a flyer for an interesting event. Just click and you can add it to your calendar. Details about the event title, time and date, and location are automatically entered for you. And then there’s that cute little puppy you see at the park. What kind of dog is that? Click, and now you know. All of this is done privately using a combination of on-device intelligence and Apple services that never store your phone. And there’s more. The camera control is also your gateway to third-party tools, making it super fast and easy to tap into their specific domain expertise. So if you come across a bike that looks exactly like the kind you’re in the market for, just tap to search Google for where you can buy something similar. And if you’re studying notes from your college lecture and get stuck on a particular concept, just use the camera control to ask ChatGPT for guidance.

Every Ultra case is made with 95% recycled grade 5 titanium. It’s the same material used by the aerospace industry. There is also a beautiful matching dark zirconia back crystal. Completing this new look are updated bands with matching black titanium hardware.

We’re also excited to introduce a new Ultra band: the Titanium Milanese Loop. Inspired by stainless steel mesh, historically used by divers, this new band is made from corrosion-resistant titanium and designed for scuba. Titanium wire is woven, flattened, and polished to create a smooth surface that wraps fluidly around your wrist. The parachute-style buckle has dual side release buttons that close with an audible click. And like all Ultra bands, it’s designed to stay securely on your wrist.

It’s surprisingly lightweight and elegant enough for any occasion. Available in both natural and black, the Titanium Milanese Loop joins new colors of the Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band. And this year, we’re extending our partnership with Hermes to Ultra.

This year, Q-ish Outdoors is bringing their Oceanic Plus app to Series 10, with features designed specifically for snorkeling, like the ability to track time, max depth, direction, and other metrics underwater. For activities like surfing, fishing, or simply playing in the waves, we’re introducing the Tides app in watchOS 11. It shows seven days of information, including rising, falling, high and low tides, sunrise, and sunset. And there’s data for coastlines all over the world.



iClarified - 2024-09-09 10:20:15
This year, Series 10 gets a built-in depth gauge and a water temperature sensor, making it even better for activities in and around the water. The Depth app launches automatically when submerged, allowing you to see depth to six meters, or about 20 feet, along with water temperature, which is also visible in the Workout app for pool and open water swims. These new capabilities make Series 10 perfect for snorkeling, a popular way to explore the underwater world.

Like health, fitness is one of the core benefits of Apple Watch. To tell you more about what’s new, here’s Jules. Apple Watch helps keep you active. The activity rings motivate millions of people every day to take a walk, hit the gym, or go for a ride. And the redesign of Series 10 makes it even better for workouts. Runners, cyclists, and athletes of all kinds will appreciate the lighter weight, and it’s easy to read your workout metrics on the bigger display.

In addition to Series 10, sleep apnea notifications will also be available on Series 9 and Ultra 2.

The detection algorithm was developed using advanced machine learning with an extensive data set of clinical-grade sleep apnea tests. It was then validated in a clinical study unprecedented in size for sleep apnea technology. We are so excited about the incredible impact this feature can make for the millions of people.

Every 30 days, Apple Watch will analyze your breathing disturbance data and notify you if it shows consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea. As always, your data is secured in the Health app, which will tell you when sleep apnea may have occurred and provide education on the importance of speaking with your health care provider, plus a detailed report to support that conversation.



iClarified - 2024-09-09 10:18:11
One of the biggest challenges is that 80% of people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed, so they don’t know they have the condition. To detect sleep apnea, Apple Watch uses the accelerometer to monitor a new metric during sleep called breathing disturbances. You can view your nightly values in the Health app, which can also help you understand the restfulness of your sleep.



iClarified - 2024-09-09 10:18:05
And now Series 10 can also alert you to a major health condition that impacts over a billion people worldwide: sleep apnea. It’s a potentially serious condition where breathing stops repeatedly and causes disrupted sleep. Sleep plays such a vital role in our overall health and well-being. People with sleep apnea can experience excessive daytime tiredness, have difficulties concentrating, and be more irritable. If left untreated, sleep apnea can also have significant consequences on your health, including increased risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiac issues.

We hear stories nearly every day about the impact these irregular rhythm notifications have had in helping users seek and receive critical care. While you’re sleeping, Apple Watch can measure risk temperature to detect when you likely ovulated, identify changes in your daily health status with the new vitals app, and determine how much time you spend in each sleep stage.

With the compact design of Series 10 plus the fastest charging ever, it’s so easy to wear your Apple Watch day and night, unlocking insightful and intelligent features for your health. Your Apple Watch can remind you to take your medications and alert you to loud environments that could impact your hearing. It can also notify you if your heart shows signs of atrial fibrillation.

To improve phone calls, Series 10 uses a new neural network to suppress background noise, so you sound clear and crisp on the other end. Even in noisy environments, like a crowded restaurant, city street, or a windy day, watchOS 11 brings even more intelligence to Apple Watch.

The sleek shape, expansive display, sapphire front crystal, and sophisticated finishes make Series 10 the most refined expression of Apple Watch yet. Titanium Series 10 joins the lineup as our next carbon-neutral product. It’s made with 95% recycled titanium and manufactured with 100% renewable electricity. And to reduce emissions from transportation, we prioritize non-air shipping.

We’ve also updated the elegant Milanese loop and classic link bracelet to perfectly match the titanium finishes. The uninterrupted lines of the case, back, and watch band celebrate the beauty of metal. To complete the metallic look, the Reflections face has an intricate shimmering dial that reacts subtly to your movements and transitions gracefully to always-on mode.

This year, grade 5 titanium replaces stainless steel. With titanium’s remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, Series 10 weighs almost 20% less than the stainless steel Series 9. The case is made of aerospace-grade titanium that’s polished to a mirror-like shine, then PVD coated in one of three stunning colors: natural, gold, and a dark slate gray.

The smaller speaker, metal back, and other innovations make Series 10 not only thinner but also lighter weight. Aluminum cases weigh up to 10% less than the previous generation. And we’re introducing another lightweight material in a gorgeous new finish, polished titanium.

Also contributing to Series 10's thinner design is an innovative metal back that fully integrates the antenna into the housing itself, combining two layers into one. A thin isolation split encircles the metal back for great cellular performance. And is bonded to a watertight layer that maintains 50% of the size.


iClarified - 2024-09-09 10:12:41
Achieving this radically thinner profile required further miniaturization of several already tiny internal modules, like the SIP, Digital Crown, and Speaker. The Speaker System was completely re-engineered to be 30% smaller without any compromise to acoustic performance. And for the first time on Apple Watch, you can play media like music or podcasts directly through the speaker. It's great for when you don't have your AirPods handy.

The comfort of Apple Watch is so important because you wear it day and night. For anything you wear continuously, comfort is a function of size, shape, and weight. And on your wrist, every millimeter and every gram matters. That's why we pushed the limits of technology to make Series 10 the thinnest Apple Watch ever. At just 9.7 millimeters, it's nearly 10% thinner than Series 9, a significant reduction considering how compact Apple Watch already is.


iClarified - 2024-09-09 10:12:21
The case is made from our durable aluminum alloy and polished using silica nanoparticles until the surface achieves a reflective shine. Then it goes through a 30-step anodization process, which bonds organic dye to the housing at a molecular level. Joining Jet Black is a beautiful warm rose gold, along with our ever-popular silver aluminum.

You can see the effect on flux, a bold new watch face that takes full advantage of the large display, filling the screen with color second by second. It was designed to compliment Series 10's new aluminum finishes, starting with Jet Black. It's our first ever polished aluminum finish for Apple Watch. This deep glossy black was developed specifically for Series 10.

Under the front crystal is Apple's first ever wide angle OLED display. Each pixel has been optimized to emit more light at wider angles. Often you look at your watch from an angle. Like while you're walking, typing on the keyboard or when your hand is resting in your lap. So we made the display on Series 10 up to 40% brighter when viewed from an angle. Which improves visibility and makes it easier to read your watch with a quick glance. We also developed wide angle OLEDs to be extremely power efficient.

With a larger screen, you can increase the font size without sacrificing content. And you can see an additional line of text and apps like messages, mail or news. It also makes it easier to type a message, enter your passcode or pause your workout. Both the display and the case have more rounded corners and a wider aspect ratio. Which makes Series 10 appear softer, sleeker and more streamlined. The front crystal of Series 10 is made of durable ionic glass and extends further down the sides of the case, creating an expansive top view.

Apple Watch is an indispensable companion. And the display is central to everything you do with it. From discreetly checking the time to scanning a notification to a quick glance at your workout metrics. How easily you can read the screen is crucial. That's why for Series 10 we developed the largest and most advanced display ever for Apple Watch. It's the biggest wearable display we've ever built. Even slightly bigger than Apple Watch Ultra. And compared to previous generations, it has up to 30% more screen area.
