The new watch with WatchOs will include Apple’s Force Touch technology, which has been introduced on several Apple devices including MacBooks and iPhones, according to reports. The new Apple Watch with built-in Lte will include non-movable buttons to mimic button presses using Apple’s Taptic Engine. Only the watch’s crown will be movable and vibration mechanisms will be included to imitate clicks. The buttons are rumored to include sensors that can assist the daily activity of the watch screen. For non-moving buttons becoming a reality, in the near future we are likely to have access to smart wearables that do not have moving parts. .072 Apple has also revealed a bunch of new Apple Watch app updates with its WatchOs update at the Wwdc. Automated exercise monitoring is WatchOs 5’s biggest draw and will allow Apple’s intelligent wearables to monitor user activity without needing manual input. The Os will also use Ai-learning to remember your exercise timings and if you skip any workouts, alert them. Other new improvements include a Siri Shortcuts walkie-talkie app improved controls and alerts, and podcasts that will be available in the current WatchOs edition.

The new Apple Watch will take full advantage of all of WatchOs 5’s new features, and will include a range of hardware upgrades to improve performance.
