Some friends and former colleagues are focusing on wearable products developing, and invited me to participate with them. Got to admit, it’s intresting.
And here is a big news in the field of wearables from Apple.
An Apple Watch iPhone companion application got unveiled recently along with several novel features.
An Apple Watch companion app for iPhone is in the works. That’s for sure. The news is just in that in circles within Apple Incorporated, it is termed the Apple Watch Companion app for iPhone.
9to5Mac reveals complete details about how this companion app works and how iPhone owners can use this companion app to control and manage the Apple Watch.
Apple Watch iPhone Companion app handles settings for both the Apple Watch and iPhone integration with the Apple Watch. There are quite a few new functions that are arriving on the platform.
Among these one of the most important one’s is the home screen. It will be manageable and manipulable via the app. There will be a clock to boot. The clock features include a Monogram that can be clicked on or off depending on your mood.
A stamp can be embedded within the clock face comprising of a few letters which will be your personalized logo. This will make your clock yours and yours alone.
A red dot will make an appearance on top of the clock face whenever you get a new message. And you may play the high stakes on the stock exchange via this watch which will give you 10,000 hints as to how to go about it.
Coming to messages, since the Apple Watch does not possess a keyboard, you may reply to incoming messages via a voice recognition system. A lot of changes can be made on the setup.
These range from dictation choices all the way to default message replies. The choice ultimately lies in the hands of the Watch wearer. In fact, you may even block spam messages at will.
There are mapping facilities on the Watch too. You may get all the directions you want via the Taptic Engine available on the platform. And it has scores of accessibility features to boot. By triple-touching the Digital Crown, Accessibility Settings can be turned on.
A Voiceover feature alongside various tapping amenities will make this gadget the best thing to get your hands on (or to fit on your wrist to be exact). As for the 4 number passcode, it is something which is changeable and can be altered as per security need.
It also acts as a health monitor in the same manner as Fitbit. Your activity levels along with heart rate not to mention number of calories burnt will be noted down by this app. Finally, the About Screen will display all that has been stored on the Watch.
Also Bluetooth and Wi-Fi details will get broadcast via this nifty device. Shipments of this Apple Watch along with its app will occur some time in March of the current year. Be on the lookout for it!
