New smartwatch runs autonomously
On September 12, Apple presented new products at its developer conference in the Steve Jobs Theater of the newly opened Apple Park. The company presented the new 'Series 3' smartwatch, which is now more independent of the iPhone.
At its developer conference, Apple presented the latest version of its smartwatch, which is now more independent of the iPhone thanks to a mobile network connection. The third generation of the Apple Watch project, which was launched around two and a half years ago, can now connect directly to the LTE data network. "That was our vision from the very beginning," said Apple manager Jeff Williams. The idea is that you can also be reached on the watch using your cell phone number.
Williams emphasized that the additional technology has been accommodated in the housing in the same size. For example, the antennas have been integrated directly into the display. A reprogrammable SIM card for the mobile phone connection was permanently installed in the device. Williams demonstrated the function with a call on the watch of an employee who was paddling in the middle of a lake.
The Apple Watch has been the best-selling computer watch since its launch in spring 2015. Now it is also the number one watch brand overall, said Cook. It remained unclear whether in terms of unit sales or - more likely - in terms of turnover. The Group is still not disclosing any sales figures.
