Apple is already preparing the new major software update for the Apple Watch in all models that can support this new version. It must be said that it looks very good, such as the rumored new home screen and the application management system. But there is much more that we can tell you little by little or make an entry like this detailing what has been said so far about this new version. Let’s go there.
I think that after the Mac, the Apple Watch is perhaps the best device from Apple. The evolution that it has had since its launch to what we have right now, guarantees that it is a product that has grown older and that it will continue to be one of the best sellers and loved by users. Much of this is to blame for the operating system that it has. Something in which Apple is a true master, because the symbiosis that they achieve between software and hardware is amazing. For this reason, we wait like rain for the new version, which will be watchOS 10.
According to the latest rumors, it is likely that among other things, Apple will launch with watchOS 10 a new home screen and a new file management systemLet the truth be told, we have been waiting for a long time. There is less left, because Apple is expected to launch this new version in the fall of this year 2023, after it is announced at WWDC that will take place in June of this year. So there is less waiting. Of course, it will not be launched until the betas that are launched are tested and well tested. We will already have the first one on the same day that WWDC is held.
The features we can expect with watchOS 10
The new version of watchOS will include countless small tweaks designed to improve existing features. As always so called performance improvements and bug fixes. Although what is really important is the new functions that we can see and do with the Apple Watch. Let’s see what they can be:
As we said, it had to a new home screen which means that the interface can be updated. Now, according to Gurman, from Bloomberg, what is thought is that it will change some things but it will not be an update that changes it completely. There will be certain details that change and that will mean that there will be something different but we don’t really know what or how much.
More concrete was the user and Apple analyst Analyst 941, who launched a message through the social network Twitter, stating that the home screen would be much easier to use, move and act. It would be something more similar and familiar to iOS, including the application management folders. So we can have a home screen with the installed applications grouped as iOS does now. But we could also have them as we have always seen on the clock. In that beehive shape.
New applications including some news in health
Almost every time a new operating system has been released for the watch, an interesting functionality has been released for users. For example, we remember the application of Breathing or mindfulness. However we have not heard or read any rumors about this. We have not detected, for example, that a new application is launched such as pulse measurement, hand washing…etc.
What is talked about in the specialized media is that if there are no new applications, we could indeed see a new centralized health panel where the application get more importance and have more weight within the watchOS and Apple Watch ecosystem.
New spheres and complications
What we have Of course, it is that with the new version of watchOS 10, we will have new spheres with which to customize our watch and that in some of them the ability to establish complications will be a success and we will be able to fill the screen with numerous notifications and warnings.
Not much more is known, at the moment, because as we have already said, until the WWDC starts, the rumors will not begin to come to life and will not materialize, but what is clear is that this entry can be used as a basis and keep updating it because, we will have from here to the beginning of June, many rumors that they will be putting us on notice as it will definitely be watchOS 10.
By the way, no Apple Watch model is expected to become obsolete with this new version since the American company usually does it every two years. So, if in 2018, watchOS 5 stopped being compatible with the first generation Apple Watch; in 2020, watchOS 7 released Series 1 and 2; and in 2022, watchOS 9 released the Series 3, watchOS 10 will not cut models. If you have a series 4 it will live another yearthough you may not have access to the full range of new features.
