CUPERTINO, California (Sep. 9, 2014) – Apple today has just introduced its newest product on the market, the Apple Watch. Tim Cooks, the CEO of Apple, took the stage to have his viewers gain more knowledge on the newest product. The watch itself has so many different, amazing features that are all user friendly. The watch has a small, rounded square, touch screen that allows the user to be able to guide their way to the different apps allowed on the watch. Like any watch, It allows for a digital clock to appear right on the front home screen but that’s not all. You are also able to have a stopwatch so you can accurately time things, or you can set timers on the device and once the timer goes off your watch white vibrate right there on your wrist to notify you. The watch itself is super customizable and allows users to make their watch have their own style. As stated before, the app has so many different features and apps like a health and fitness app that allows for the user to check and keep track of their heart rate, their steps and many more. 

Apple introduced their new product, the Apple Watch, with new innovative technology similar to the iphone. A student at Indiana University checked his calendar on his new Apple Watch and ensured he made it to class on time.

The Apple Watch has more than just a touch screen as well. On the side of the watch there is a small circular dial that is a major tool the user is allowed to use to have more convenience. The dial or as Tim called it “The Digital Crown” works as a function for people that need to use the touch screen but don’t want to cover the screen with their fingers while they are trying to zoom in or scroll. This amazing and helpful feature allows the user to scroll up and down on the screen or if they are on an app that allows it, it can be used to zoom in, like on the maps app for example. The feature is very important to have on the watch but it also does more. If the user would like to navigate to the home screen to view all of their apps, they just need to push the dial and it will take them back to the home screen. This feature is amazing and super helpful. 

As mentioned earlier, the watch has many different apps that it allows. One of the super helpful apps that is on the watch is Messages. This sounds exactly how it is, it’s the same app on your iphone and allows you to message your contacts that you have synced on your iphone. This is super helpful in times where maybe your phone is dead and your watch is the way you are able to contact someone. Simpler to the messaging app, it also allows calls. Yes you are able to call someone right there from your wrist. Another app is the photos app. This is an app where you are able to look upon some of your favorite memories that you captured on your phone. You are able to select photos you would like to keep, or would like to delete and complete this task right there in the app. 

The watch allows for the user to have their own style, taste, and diversity with the different customizations. The Apple Watch body comes in many different colors which you are allowed to choose which one you want. There are different straps that the user can purchase to have it be 

Seated at a table at Raising Canes, a man enjoyed his meal and glanced at his Apple Watch to check his notifications. The new Apple Watch made it easy to stay connected without interrupting his dining experience more comfortable or to change up their style. You’re also able to change the way your screen will display like the clock on the front and a wallpaper to go with it that can be set to whatever you please with your own photos you have saved. As Tim Cooks said during this announcement “the watch is made to be as personal as you want it”. 

This new amazing product by Apple is life changing  for the users that buy and create a whole new way of communication and lifestyle. It brings convenience to the user for day to day tasks. The watch working as a normal watch but also as a smaller, personal, version of an iphone is a new life changing piece of revolutionary advanced technology that is bound to be a must have for the apple community.

CUPERTINO, California (Sept. 14, 2014)— Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the newest invention in the company’s storied history, The Apple Watch, in front of a sold-out crowd in Cupertino on Tuesday.  

The watch world, as it is known, will never be the same.

The advancement of the watch was so dramatic that even Cook was blown away by what the company could accomplish.

“We love to make technology more personable and allow our users to do things they never could have imagined.” Said Cook.

 

Lisa checked her Apple Watch as she received a message from one of her teachers. It was important she prioritized work outside of the school too.

The Apple Watch is far from a one-size-fits-all all device. The Apple Watch delivers state-of-the-art accuracy and is customizable to each user who puts it on their wrist. From health and fitness to its slick exterior design, the Apple Watch blows users away in every way imaginable. From its flexible display, designed for easy magnetic charging, to the guts of the system, which include a custom-designed chip with sensors to detect your pulse and daily activity. Wearing the Apple watch is essentially wearing a computer on your wrist.

Leah inspected her Apple Watch and made sure her heart rate and pulse were at a normal level after being in the sauna. She needed to keep track of her health.

The Apple watch will, “Redefine what people will expect from its category,” said Cook.

The Apple Watch is not just another fitness watch. The Apple Watch comes with a slick, smooth exterior that is perfect for all walks of life. From the stainless-steel Apple Watch to the Durable Apple Sport, which includes sixty percent stronger alloys, and the Apple Watch Edition a watch that is made of 18-karat gold

.
Apple Vice President Kevin Lynch was more than thrilled to describe in detail the life-changing features of Apple’s newest design. The Apple Watch is so accurate, that it can tell time down to one fiftieth of a millisecond. Interesting enough, the Apple Watch includes features that give users the ability to analyze the moon, as well as tell where they are on Earth.

The Apple Watch will change the way that we communicate. With a taptic engine, the Apple Watch alerts the user with a subtle tap on the wrist when they receive a notification. It is easy to respond to messages on the Apple Watch. From Apple’s quick board, which includes accurate, generated responses, to creating your own custom messages the Apple Watch makes it so that users do not have to pick up their phone to stay in contact with others.
Traveling has never been easier, thanks to the Apple Watch. Apple has partnered with countless companies to revolutionize the way that we travel. From unlocking hotel rooms to accessing flight tickets to providing maps and mass transit directions, traveling has never been simpler.

On a personal level, the Apple Watch enables users to track their parked cars, keep track of the big game, and even control the temperature of their home from their watch; but, those are just some, of the ways that the Apple Watch can change lives.
“Being active is one of the best things that you can do to improve your health, and Apple Watch gives you the ability to be a bit healthier,” Cook told the crowd.

Apple Watching features fitness, and workout apps, that track a user’s activity right to the very last step. Apple Watch is designed for everyone; from beginners on their fitness journey to elite athletes, Apple Watch provides state-of-the-art and never-before-seen data to improve the workout experience. Apple Watch gives users a complete overview of their activity, from calories burnt, to comprehensive workout plans that allow users to compete and get the best out of each other, as the Watch adapts to each users preferences.

The video we put together emphasizes the variety of apps and uses provided by the Apple watch. This revolutionary product offers lighting control, health monitoring, ect, and is functional for all. The subjects we chose were based on age and how each individual used the Apple Watch product. The first subject, Leah, who is a teenage girl, tracks her fitness, how active she is and monitors her heart rate before, during, and after her workouts. This is important for Leah because she has asthma which is a chronic lung condition that can make breathing difficult if not watched and managed. The Apple Watch made Leah’s life easier to navigate and keep track of rather than relying on relying on her phone to do so. The second subject is Lisa and she uses her apple watch for different reasons, however, just as important. As a mother of three along with being a principal, reliability and availability at all times is crucial to Lisa. For the most part, she utilizes the phone call and message apps to stay in contact throughout the day.

“This is the most personable device that Apple has ever created,” said Cook.

Apple Watch will become available in early 2015 and will retail for $349, symbolizing another revolutionary release, in a long-standing tradition of life-changing creations from Apple.

Tim Cook proudly announced the next chapter in Apple’s story with the introduction of the Apple Watch at an event held in Cupertino, California. Cook emphasized that the Apple Watch is the most personal device they have ever created. It is precise, highly customizable, and offers new, intimate ways to connect and communicate. The watch features an elegant design that seamlessly integrates with the user’s lifestyle, offering a range of materials and colors to choose from. With its innovative display, users can easily access notifications, apps, and messages with just a flick of their wrist. “The Apple watch is something that has never been done before,” said Cook.

It serves as a  health and fitness device. This includes advanced health tracking capabilities, such as heart rate monitoring, calorie counting, and activity tracking, encouraging a more active lifestyle. Users can also set personal fitness goals and receive notifications to keep them motivated throughout the day. “The Apple Watch can cater to different needs, from tracking workouts to managing daily tasks, all while remaining a stylish accessory,” said Cook.

College students are excited about Apple’s announcement of their new smartwatch. This device tracks both heart rate and mileage for running and walking. It also allows students to map out the locations of their classes and other destinations on campus.

Cooks and his team added extra functionality to a mechanism that has been on the watch for decades: the dial. On the Apple Watch, this mechanism is called the digital crown. This crown includes infrared LEDs and photo diodes that translate rotary movement into digital data. “It is simple, elegant, and amazing input in a navigation device,” said Cook. “The Apple Watch is so personal that you don’t put it in your desk or your pocket; you wear it on your wrist,” said Cook.

A local professor is taking a moment to engage with her new Apple Watch before class. She considers it a game changer for increasing her efficiency. With just a touch on her wrist, she can check all of her notifications and announcements. “It’s been one of the best purchases I’ve made, and it has made my life so much more efficient,” said the professor.

During the event, Cook invited Kevin Lynch, Apple’s vice president of software, to the stage to give the very first live demonstration of the Apple Watch. They have been working to enable third-party developers to extend their apps for the Apple Watch, allowing these apps to appear on the device’s screen. Lynch mentioned that you can even unlock your hotel door using the watch, which thrilled the crowd. There is a feature that helps you locate your car if you lose it, enabling you to track its location and find your way back.

“It’s amazing what you can do with your wrist,” said Cook. The Apple Watch enables us to motivate people to be more active and healthier. “The Apple Watch helps you live a better day,” he continued. This device combines the features of an all-day fitness tracker with those of a highly advanced sports watch, allowing you to wear it all the time. It offers a new, innovative, and personal way to communicate directly from your wrist. Cook concluded his speech by mentioning that there is so much more to discuss, but they did not have time to cover everything.

The list of features is extensive. Ranging from health monitoring tools that track your heart rate and sleep patterns to customizable watch faces that reflect your personal style. He kept expressing the Apple watch is not just a new piece of technology but empowers users to take control of their health and well-being in seamless way. He left the crowed with excitement for what the future of Apple holds.

 

Tim Cook unveils the first-generation Apple Watch. He explains the groundbreaking innovation in precision, design, and health tracking—changing the way we connect, stay active, and monitor our well-being.

CUPERTINO, California (Sept. 9 2014) –Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, revealed today, the company’s new groundbreaking product–The Apple Watch. Available in two sizes, 38 mm and 42 mm, the Apple Watch is the most personal device Apple has ever created, featuring sophisticated capabilities that seamlessly integrate into the user’s daily life.

Cook began the presentation by saying, “We love to make great products that really enrich people’s lives. We love to integrate hardware, software and services seamlessly.” Cook highlighted Apple’s commitment to creating technology that enhances the experience of its users, and producing products that are functional and natural to use. 

The Apple Watch is highly customizable, offering the users a variety of ways to express their own personal style. The watch has intimate ways to connect and communicate, and serves as a comprehensive fitness device, a navigational tool, and much more. It’s designed to not just be a device, but an extension of the buyer, fitting into their lifestyle.

The Apple Watch has a rich design story,  with the goal being to take cutting-edge technology and make it more accessible and practical for everyday use. Johny Srouji is Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Technologies saying, “Creating beautiful objects that are as simple and pure as they are functional. Well, that’s always been our goal at Apple. We designed the Apple Watch as a whole range of products, enabling millions of unique designs, unparalleled personalization, both in appearance and capability.” 

The Apple Watch was created to be worn for both special occasions and for everyday use. It reflects personal style and demonstrates how technology can fit seamlessly into that. The combination of Apple’s hardware and software delivers a product that is not only functional but also inspiring

Personalization was a large focus in the design process. “You can personalize both the appearance and the capability of the Apple Watch. Personalization extends way beyond the interface. We’ve designed six different straps, and a mechanism that makes them easily interchangeable, with a level of refinement and precision that also serves a functional purpose,” said Cook. Whether users want the elegance from the 18 carat gold base with leather loop strap or the stainless steel base with practical, sweat-resistant silicone sports strap, they can easily change the look of their watch to match their style.

One of the biggest challenges Apple faced when designing this product was the watch’s small size. To overcome this, Apple introduced the digital crown, a revolutionary input method that allows users to interact with the device. The digital crown functions as a dial that lets the user scroll to find which app they would like to use. This addresses the issues with having to work around a smaller display effectively. So the user can use Apple’s apps such as notes, message, timer, etc.. or third party apps like Pinterest, Instagram, Spotify, etc..  

Cook said, “Apps are designed for lightweight interaction that let you respond quickly to messages. And with digital touch, we’ve developed an entirely new way for you to connect intimately with others. You can get someone’s attention with a gentle tap. You can send a quick sketch, or you can even share something as personal as your own heartbeat. These are subtle ways to communicate that technology often inhibits rather than enables.”

 

In addition to the digital crown, Apple introduced another remarkable technology in the Apple Watch—the ability to sense force as well as touch. This added a new layer to the user interface, creating an intuitive experience that felt even more natural. The Zaconia backing of the watch has four sapphire lenses– infrared with visible light LEDs. Allowing to direct a comprehensive picture of your daily activity, the crystals house a one of a kind inductive charging system. 

Cook continues with “At the heart of the watch is a custom designed chip that integrates many subsystems into one remarkably compact module, which is then completely encapsulated to protect the electronics. It’s essentially miniaturizing an entire computer system onto a single chip.” Those qualities allow the watch to be an incredibly accurate device that was created for everyday use and functionally is user friendly.  It was built with everyday use in mind, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with an intuitive design.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Unveils Company’s New Product: The Apple Watch

CUPERTINO, California. (September 9, 2014) – Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, revealed Apple’s new product the Apple Watch to a large crowd in Cupertino, CA on Tuesday, Sept 9, 2014. 

On the morning of the launch event for the iPhone 6, there was one more exciting product to share with the audience. Cook proudly described the Apple Watch as the most personal device Apple has ever created. The watch is synched with the universal time standard, customizable to personal style and taste, a new way to connect with others from your wrist, works seamlessly with the iPhone, and acts as a health and fitness device. Before moving into a detailed description of the Apple Watch and its many uses, a short video was shown, highlighting its various components up close and showcasing the different band colors. The crowd cheered with excitement at the innovation.

An important part of the design process for the company was ensuring the smooth transition to a breakthrough user interface. Cook emphasized that the watch is not just a smaller scale version of the iPhone, as the display would be too small to be used effectively. One of its key innovations is the Digital Crown, a navigation tool that allows users to zoom in, scroll, and return to the home screen without obstructing the display. The watch also includes technology that senses both touch and force, enabling different commands based on the app being used. 

As for aesthetic and style choices, there are three distinct collections and six different watch band choices. Apple designer Jony Ive narrated the watch’s design story, highlighting the thoughtful craftsmanship and smooth transition to a wearable interface. The watch is available in three distinct collections: Apple Watch, crafted from a custom alloy of stainless steel; Apple Watch Sport, featuring a lightweight aluminum case and strengthened ion-exchange cover glass; and Apple Watch Edition, made from luxurious 18-karat gold that is twice as hard as standard gold. The first of the six interchangeable bands for the watch is the Sport Band which is durable, sweat-resistant elastomer offered in a range of bold colors. Second is the Leather Loop which is soft quilted leather with concealed magnets for a comfortable fit. Next is the Handcrafted Leather Modern Buckle band which closes with a solid metal clasp and wraps symmetrically around the wrist. Fourth is the Simple Leather Classic Buckle band which is inspired by traditional watches. Next is the Stainless Steel Link Bracelet which is a sleek, adjustable bracelet with a secure clasp. Finally is the Milanese Loop which is made of a flexible stainless steel mesh, has a magnetic closure, and is infinitely adjustable.

New Digital Touch feature allows users to communicate through sketches, gentle taps, or even the sensation of a heartbeat sent directly to their wrist. Smart replies, dictation, and emoji responses make messaging quicker. The device also introduces Glances, a feature that allows users to swipe through essential information such as upcoming calendar events, weather updates, etc. Notifications are felt as a gentle tap on the wrist.

A major new aspect with the watch is the Fitness App. It encourages users to sit less, move more, and get exercise through three activity rings. The Move Ring tracks calories burned and motivates users to stay active. This ring closes when you’ve hit your personal goal. The Exercise Ring measures physical activity and tracks progress toward the recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise. Finally, the Stand Ring reminds users to stand and move throughout the day to reduce sedentary time. The default goal is to stand for at least one minute in 12 different hours during the day. The Workout App provides real-time stats for activities like cycling, running, and walking. Users can set specific goals based on duration, calories burned, or distance traveled, with detailed summaries available post-workout. The Apple Watch syncs with the Health App on the iPhone, delivering personalized insights and fitness reminders to keep users on track.

When looking to the future, Kevin Lynch, Apple Vice President, described the opportunity for usage of third-party apps on the watch. He talked about the application “Watchkit” which is a way for these apps to become user friendly. Third-party apps would be able to send notifications, provide travel updates, and even offer unique functionalities like airline check-ins with a simple tap. This capability will open the door for endless possibilities in wearable technology. The watch will retail starting at $349 and become available for pre-sale purchase on April 10, 2015.

“New innovative intimate way to communicate directly from your wrist,” Cook said in closing. “And it’s a comprehensive health and fitness device, and it is so much more that we don’t have time to cover this morning.”

CUPERTINO, California. (Sept. 9th, 2014) –

Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled the companies new Apple Watch which utilizes a brand new user interface to infuse it’s iPhone technology with a wrist watch on Tuesday.

The introductory video for the Apple Watch was met with a standing ovation by the audience at Apple’s WorldWide Developer Conference held at Apple Park, the companies HeadQuarters. In this video, Apple highlighted many features that grant users the ability to make each Apple Watch unique. Features include customizable layouts, a simple to use interface and interchangeable wristbands. 

The Apple Watch, set for release in early 2015, will come in three different editions; Apple Watch, Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch Edition. With the release of their new product, Apple has continued its line of groundbreaking technology.

“It’s so simple and elegant, it’s something only Apple could do,” Cook said. 

Cook and Vice President Kevin Lynch showed off the three main purposes of the Apple Watch. First, it functions as a fast and reliable time keeper with a clock that “is accurate within plus or minus 50 milliseconds,” Cook said. Second, the Apple Watch’s communication system has created a new and fun way to get in touch with friends. With the simple motion of your wrist, the user is able to view notifications and even respond to messages. Using the Quick Board feature, messages can easily be responded to with analyzed responses or silly emojis. Finally, Cook mentions its ability to work as a fitness band for all types of individuals. It is able to accomplish this through the two separate apps that come installed on the watch, the fitness and workout apps. With the Apple Watch, the potential for fitness growth is limitless.

“Apple builds great products that enrich people’s lives,” Cook said, “and arguably, we can take that to a whole new level with Apple Watch.”

Developers at Apple understood that a change would need to be made for the interface to be optimized for this new device. Instead of using your finger to scroll, Apple implemented a sleek dial on the side which they are calling the digital crown. This digital crown allows users to zoom in and out as well as navigate the user interface without blocking the user’s view of the screen. This proactive step of incorporating a more useful function to an everyday device like the dial on a watch, Apple proves they have spent deep thought on both form and function.

“It can be worn all day, for any occasion,” Cook said.

Each user can make their Apple Watch unique, not just with the interface but with its six boldly unique types of straps. All of these straps, which come in many vibrant colors, can be easily interchanged with one another with a simple interlocking system. These bands can be used for function, with the user’s choice of a chemical resistant band or a leather buckle and stainless steel straps.

“Apple Watch is the most personal device Apple has ever created,” Cook said.

The Apple watch will start at $349 upon its release. The Apple Watch will work with your iPhone, allowing the Apple Watch to pull up messages and allow responses. Due to this, the iPhone is necessary for use of the Apple Watch. 

The Apple Watch comes with its magnetic charging cable which easily attaches to the back of the watch for charging. With its 18 hour battery life, the Apple Watch can last users all day and charge rapidly overnight.  The Apple Watch comes in a 38 or 42 millimeter screen and comes in two separate finishes, stainless steel or space black.

Apple Watch changed the traditional payment methods. They let the transaction become more secure, fast, and convenient.

The launch of the Apple Watch coincides with the introduction of the new iPhone 6 which features larger screens, and improved performance.
