Apple Watch Series 5: New display, always on
10.9.2019
Translation: machine translated
The Apple Watch is new, but apart from a few colours it still looks the same. At least on the outside. On the inside, however, a lot has changed.
An emotional video played by Apple CEO Tim Cook at the Apple Special Event in the Steve Jobs Theatre shows how people in extreme situations have benefited from the Apple Watch. Pregnancies, heart attacks or even just a diet, the Apple Watch helps, according to the video.
The new Apple Watch is set to go one better. In a new design.
New studies should make people healthier
Three new studies are running on WatchOS 6.
- The Apple Hearing Study aims to analyse the noise in our world. Not only does it warn you when the world around you is getting too loud, it also collects this data in an attempt to find out the long-term impact of today's world on our hearing.
- The Apple Women's Health Study aims to analyse the menstrual cycle in order to detect diseases and other issues
- The Apple Heart & Movement Study will collect data on the heart .
If you want to take part in the studies, you have to install an app on your watch and then agree to the study. Apple itself will not be able to access data that could directly identify you.
Retina on your wrist
The new screen on your Apple Watch Series 5 is always on. It has a variable screen refresh rate that oscillates between 60 hertz and 1 hertz. Even with the new Ambient Light, the compass and the new international emergency call system, the battery should last 18 hours.
The watch cases are made from 100% recycled aluminium and are available in a wide range of colours. A new addition is the colour titanium, which is not actually a colour. It is a polished metal. It also comes in a really biting bright white colour that really suits Apple.
This also applies here: Apple is going all out and offering the old Apple Watch Series 3 for under 200 dollars. The new Apple Watch Series 5, on the other hand, costs 400 dollars.
The event in a nutshell
Unfortunately, you can no longer watch the entire event, but Apple published a summary within minutes of the end of the event. Congratulations to Apple's video producers. That's a great achievement.
