WATCH
4
On September 12, 2018, Apple held its annual special event where they released the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max, and the Apple Watch 4. After taking it all in, I knew I had to have the new watch.
I recently had the opportunity to daily drive the Apple Watch Series 4 (44mm) and it is a beautiful combination of machinery and technology.
- A larger LTPO OLED Retina display in same form factor (40 mm and 44 mm), previously (38 mm and 42 mm).
- Along with a 2x faster S4 processor
- Better Haptic Feedback
- New Digital Crown
- FDA approved ECG feature (coming soon)
- Fall Detection that can contact Emergency SOS if you've taken a hard fall
- Optional Improved Cellular Connectivity
- Louder Speakers
- New watch faces
- New workouts added
- Apple Pay
For me, personally, it's a nice extension of my phone and productivity while tracking various health elements. I'm sure as time goes on there will be various applications that one could use straight from the watch. On top of all that, it gives me the excitement and feelings of a a child with a new toy. What more could you ask for?
