The day has come, Apple's Keynote has already been held, so we know all the news that the Cupertino company leaves us. Among the products presented at the event we find the Apple Watch Series 4. The new generation of the firm's smartwatch, which, as mentioned in recent weeks, comes with various changes.
Many new features compared to the previous generation. Therefore, below we will tell you all about these new Apple Watch Series 4. The aspects that have changed in these new watches, and also when we can expect them to arrive in stores and at what price.
The new generation of the firm's watches arrives marked by a design change. It is the main novelty, which had already been rumored these months. We are facing the biggest improvement or change that Apple has introduced in its watches so far. So it is undoubtedly a generation of great importance.
New Design
The Apple Watch Series 4 presents a new design, much more modern, current and very elegant. In addition, it promises to be very comfortable to wear on the wrist, which is an essential part of every watch on the market today. The screen is the aspect in which we find the most changes, as had been announced.
Since the firm has introduced a larger screen in this model. We are facing a screen that is larger than that of most smart watches on the market. So it will be much more comfortable to use, giving a much better user experience. It comes in two sizes, 40 and 44 mm in diameter, larger than the previous generation.
The Apple Watch Series 4 bet on an OLED screen, which stands out for its very thin edges and rounded corners. Thanks to this, the appearance of the watch in general changes, obtaining this more modern look. In addition to taking much better advantage of the screen surface.
To take advantage of this design change in the watch, Apple also introduces a new interface in it. It has been changed in order to make the most of the device screen. We can see that in the menu, the applications are now shown in a rounded way. A very visual design, easy to use and something more current.
New functions
A new design is also accompanied by new functions. There are quite a few new features in terms of this Apple Watch Series 4. The firm has sought to innovate with this watch, and they leave us with functions that no other brand has today. So they take advantage again in this regard.
The first is the most striking of them, which is the ability to detect if the user suffers a fall sometime. The most interesting thing about the function is that it will be able to detect if it is a fall, a bump or a slip. So that depending on what has happened, you can contact a person who is marked as an emergency contact. In addition, in case of detecting something out of the ordinary, the watch will ask us to go to the doctor.
Although the star function of the Apple Watch Series 4 will be the electrocardiogram. The function is to be integrated with the user's phone. Thanks to this, the watch is the first device on the market that is generally launched to consumers to measure this aspect. The measurement will be very simple and can be carried out at any time, it will be possible to do it from the watch app.
For that, Apple has introduced new electrical sensors in the watch. They are responsible for measuring the heart rate of the user. This function promises great precision in its operation, as well as being useful for detecting arrhythmias. Health again gains prominence on the watch of the Cupertino firm.
The clock speaker and microphone have also been improved. In terms of autonomy there are no changes. Like the previous generation, gives us an autonomy of 18 hours. Where there are changes is in Bluetooth connectivity, which in this case becomes 5.0.
Another novelty, although not at the software level, is that the Apple Watch Series 4 has a new processor. It is a 64-bit processor. Thanks to it, the watch will work in a much more fluid and powerful way. Apple claims it is twice as fast as the previous processor in its watches. It comes under the name S4.
Price and Availability
As with previous generations, there will be several versions of the watch available. We have two versions in terms of size, as we mentioned at the beginning. But there are also other versions, depending on several specific aspects of the watches.
We find an Apple Watch Series 4 with LTE and another without LTE. In addition, there is a variant made of aluminum, which will be available in rose gold, gold, gray and silver colors. While there will also be another in stainless steel, available in black and silver. Finally, it is expected that there will be another Nike + variant, designed for sports and the other Hermès, something more for the city and a less sporty use.
Regarding its launch, Apple Watch Series 4 is expected to launch on September 21. But, this same Friday, September 14, the reservation period will open for all users interested in the American firm's watch. In the case of Spain, both the version with LTE and the one without LTE can be purchased.
If you are interested in the version with LTE, it will be possible to get it in operators such as Orange and Vodafone, the only ones confirmed so far. Its original price is $ 499, which in Spain is expected to be 429 euros. While the version that does not have LTE will be somewhat cheaper. In the United States, its price will be 399 dollars, which is about 342 euros.
Without a doubt, the new generation of Apple watches comes stomping. The firm had promised news, and we see that they have more than delivered in this regard. Now, we will have to wait and see how consumers receive the Apple Watch Series 4. What do you think of the clock?
