With the Apple Watch, Apple wants to push the “sporty” cursor even further and offer a default design for apps that has been revised thanks to watchOS 10.
Apple didn’t unveil a new Apple Watch on Monday night, but the upcoming update to the apple-tipped smartwatch promises to shake up the user experience and even the system software design. With watchOS 10, there is also a rapprochement between the Watch, the iPad and the iPhone.
Reconciliation ? But why? Since widgets are now integrated into the Apple Watch. When you’re on the lock screen, you just have to scroll down to see new widgets appear. Health, stopwatch, or reminders, these widgets will list everything you need to know regarding your day. It will be possible to add or remove some, and others will be added throughout the day, such as a new timer launched.
The applications benefit from a small visual overhaul. More intuitive, most of the information is offered. A template will be made available to developers so that they can easily adapt their apps to this new design.
Still on the lock screen, Apple offers two new Lock Faces. The first, Palette, will be extremely clean, with three hands and pretty colors, and that’s it. So no complications. The second is a partnership signed to celebrate ten years of the OS. It is Snoopy who is honored, with many different animations, as we have already seen with Toy Story or Mickey.
Focus on cycling and hiking
With watchOS 10, the focus is on new sports and health-related functions. In terms of sport, cyclists will be delighted to learn that new data will be accessible on the Watch, such as pedaling power and a zone indicating where you are and if you can still push, in order to improve your performance at bike.
Finally, if you launch a cycling program on your Watch, the iPhone will display a Live Activity containing all the information. By clicking on it, you will even have the possibility of interrupting the exercise. Golfers will be able to know the angle of rotation of their wrist, while tennis players will also be honored with more data.
On the hiking side, the Apple Watch hiking compass will now be in 3D in order to know the altitude of this or that important point when walking. A new typographical map will also be included, displaying real-time elevation changes.
On the health side, Apple is emphasizing two new aspects of your well-being: your mental health and your visual health. The first, which “impacts all of us” according to Apple, will require your intervention. At several times of the day, you can encode your state of mind and find, at the end of the day, an overview of the evolution of it over the day.
Apple finally considers that your visual health is important, and gives figures to support its interest in the thing. 30% of people are affected by myopia today, and it is estimated that 50% of people will be affected by this phenomenon in 2050. Whether on iPad or iPhone, you will receive a notification when you are too close to the screen. And, at many times of the day, you will receive a notification on your Watch urging you to go outside to take advantage of the external brightness.
