Today, developer Hamza Sood tweeted a short video demonstrating how users will be able to reposition apps on their Apple Watch Home screen using the companion app found in iOS 8.3. He previously posted screenshots that detailed a variety of settings and preferences for Apple Watch, as well as a closer look at the Activity companion app.
9to5mac is out with a report detailing how Apple plans to allow customers to try on the Apple Watch in its retail stores around the globe, when the wearable will be put out on tables starting April 10.
Given the jewelry nature of the Apple Watch, it won't be like walking into an Apple Store to try out an iPhone or iPad. According to the well-connected publication, starting on April 10th, Apple will allocate 15 minutes per customer for a guided and directed in-store try-on experience, using 10 try-on stations.
Apple's jump into wearables, the anticipated Apple Watch, has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission, ahead of its launch in April, an update to Apple's website indicated on Tuesday.
Accessory maker Nomad has created a “methodically designed, expertly crafted” stand for your Apple Watch that is just as pretty and functional as Apple's wrist-worn gizmo. Dubbed the Stand, it suspends your Watch mid-air while providing MagSafe access to its Zirconia backing.
Another accessory called the Pod will be available as well, basically a mobile charging solution for your device with a built-in rechargeable 1,800mAh lithium polymer battery that quadruples your Apple Watch battery life.
It's been a long time coming, but now that we know just what the Apple Watch will cost, how much we will need to pay for additional bands and when pre-orders will be open, the only thing left to do is choose which Apple Watch will order.
At least, that's how it seems to us here at iDB. After months of waiting for concrete information on availability and pricing, the decision on whether to actually pick up an Apple Watch was one that didn't need much thinking about. The argument over whether to plump for the Apple Watch Edition was taken out of our hands by its price, too, so really all it comes down to is whether the Apple Watch or Apple Watch Sport is the watch for you.
The iDB team got to discussing this very subject recently and we thought that discussion might be an interesting one to share with everyone. After all, if you guys are struggling to make a decision as much as we were, then every little bit of help is no doubt appreciated.
So, with that elongated preamble of the way, let's see what the iDB team will be ordering come April 10th.
You'll be able to spend hands-on time with an Apple Watch at Apple's retail stores without making a purchase. Although some sources previously mentioned trying on Watches by appointment, 9to5Mac has learned that try on appointments won’t be necessary after all.
Apple will start taking pre-orders for the Watch on April 10, ahead of its April 24 launch. April 10 is also when the Watch will arrive for “preview” in retail stores. Apple Retail will begin training employees on selling the device at the end of March.
Apple's first pop-up store dedicated to just the Apple Watch has begun construction in a luxury Tokyo department store, ahead of its April launch.
The pop-up store is nestled between other popular luxury brands, including Tiffany's, Mauboussin and Chaumet, as first reported by the rather reliable Japanese blog Macotakara.
The announcement that the Apple Watch Edition will start at $10,000 and be priced all the way to $17,000 when it begins shipping April 24 perplexed many. Apple is a consumer electronics company. Why is it trying to jump into the luxury space?
Here's your answer. On Thursday, Andreessen Horowitz analyst Benedict Evans penned a blog post on why Apple is bothering to sell the Apple Watch Edition. It's full of some brilliant analysis of the new, luxury product, but it boils down to something simple - it's a marketing tool for Apple.
Apple Stores across the globe have posted backlit displays showing off the new Apple Watch and 12-inch MacBook, ahead of the devices' launch next month.
The new graphics are in typical Apple fashion, showing large images of the products and their detail for customers to see.
Online retail giant Amazon is working on an official Apple Watch app that will permit its users to purchase goods on Amazon.com right from their wrist, TechCrunch reported Friday.
“The company does have an Apple Watch version of its mobile shopping app in the works, we understand,” reads the report.
Today, developer Hamza Sood, known in the community for his in-depth analysis of iOS betas, tweeted screenshots of what the Apple Watch companion app for iPhone will look like when an Apple Watch is connected. The layout is similar to iOS's Settings app, but features a dark theme and rounded icons.
After sitting through Apple's “Spring Forward” media presentation from start to finish, I couldn't help but notice a slide tim Cook briefly put up, depicting an iOS version of the Apple Watch's Activity app. I immediately took to Twitter, wondering when users could expect to see the software on their iPhones.
Last evening, developer Hamza Sood tweeted out a series of screenshots of the Activity app from iOS 8.2, released for public consumption on Monday.
The app is hidden and would only appear on a user's Home screen once an Apple Watch has been connected and paired with an iPhone using the Apple Watch iOS app (which by the way cannot be deleted from the device).
