It's the moment we've all been waiting for: Apple has finally announced the availability of its Apple Watch Edition, available for $10,000 when pre-orders begin April 10.
Given the price of the Apple Watch Edition, Apple CEO Tim Cook told attendees at the company's media event on Monday that it will be available in limited quantities and only in a limited number of Apple Stores.
We're watching the “Spring Forward” event currently underway in San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Performing Arts and CEO Tim Cook has revealed that the aluminum Sport edition of the wrist-worn device will cost $349 for the smaller 38mm model and $399 for the larger 42mm one.
The other model, the stainless steel Apple Watch, will set you back between $549 and $1,049 for the smaller 38mm version, depending on your choice of wrist band. The larger 42mm version will set you back $599 to $1,099 — again, depending on your band of choice.
As for the Apple Watch Edition, it's going to start at a whopping $10,000 and all the way up to $17,000. Quantities and availability will be limited.
On stage at Apple's media event on Monday, Tim Cook announced that iOS 8.2 will launch to the public today. The software update, which has been in beta for several weeks now, will bring about the Apple Watch companion app that will allow your iPhone to talk to the upcoming wearable.
We saw a preview of the app back in January, when it was unearthed from a developer beta. It will allow users to customize a wide range of things on their Apple Watch including the Clock app with personalized monograms and alerts for notifications, people in your Contacts list, and more.
We've been waiting for months to hear how long the Apple Watch's battery will last, and luckily the Cupertino-based company has appeased us during its "Spring Forward" media event on Monday. Apple says the Apple Watch will have an 18-hour battery life, or what Apple calls "all day battery life".
"During a typical day you can expect 18 hours. This works for most people I think," Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, told attendees at the event.
Apple has announced new updates for the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, following the unveiling of the new MacBook at its event on Monday. While it doesn't bring any new, life-changing features, the updates bring a speed boost.
Apple’s “Spring Forward” event is underway at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Performing Arts and CEO Tim Cook said that Apple has challenged itself to “reinvent the notebook” before he took the wraps off a brand new MacBook model which weighs just two pounds and is available in silver, space gray and “a stunning gold.”
Featuring a twelve-inch screen with a Retina pixel resolution of 2304-by-1440 pixels, the display produces clearer images and consumes up to thirty percent less energy. The trackpad, now called, Force Touch trackpad, ditches away the mechanical design in favor of four sensors and Haptic Engine from the Apple Watch.
Apple's Jeff Williams has just taken the stage at the Apple Watch event to talk about a new venture for the company: medical research. The SVP of Operations explains how working on HealthKit for iPhone led the Cupertino firm to release a new platform to aid in medical research, called ResearchKit.
"For all the amazing breakthroughs medical researchers have made, they still face big challenges," Williams said. "Sometimes, researchers see patients only once a quarter, making it difficult to get a complete picture of their health." And that's where ResearchKit comes in—now researchers can create apps.
Apple has cut the price of its Apple TV from $99 to $69, following the announcement of HBO Now coming exclusively to the Apple TV in April.
"We would like to make it accessible to more people," Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said during the company's "Spring Forward" media event on Monday.
Apple is holding its “Spring Forward” media event at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Performing Arts and the company has just announced that HBO's rumored subscription service is debuting on the now discounted Apple TV set-top box next month at a fleet monthly fee of $14.99.
The CEO of HBO Richard Plepler took the stage to say that the service, dubbed HBO Now, will be exclusive to Apple at launch. Past, present and future programming will be available on Apple devices, via a brand new channel on Apple TV and a dedicated iOS app.
Apple's 'Spring Forward' event in San Francisco has begun this morning, and as usual, Tim Cook has taken the stage first to talk about the company's performance over the last several months. As you may recall, Apple had a monster holiday quarter after launching new iPhones and Apple Pay in the fall, so the CEO has plenty to talk about.
Apple's highly anticipated “Spring Forward“ media event is due in less than two hours and a report by The Wall Street Journal is now alleging that the company has been evaluating platinum for future versions of the Apple Watch.
Apple promised to offer the wrist-worn device in three versions created from custom alloys of stainless steel and aluminum, each in two finishes, as well as “unique formulations of 18-karat yellow and rose gold.”
Despite a huge unveiling of the Apple Watch at its September event in 2014, Apple remained incredibly quiet on specific details of its wearable, including some features and pricing. Luckily, Apple is holding a "Spring Forward" media event on Monday to help ease our minds.
Like its past events, Apple will be streaming the Apple Watch event on Monday for its customers to watch from its website.
