Apple on Monday launched the next generation of its smartwatch, series 10. The new Apple watch series 10 is the thinnest wearable from the company and it comes with a new wide-angle OLED screen.
The new screen is the largest display Apple has put in a smartwatch to date. The watch runs on a new Apple S10 System in a Package that includes a number of features and capabilities.
It will include a feature to track sleep apnea, a condition in which people stop breathing while they are asleep. The new sleep apnea feature will be rolled out to the series 10 and Watch Ultra 2 as well. It uses an accelerometer to detect the condition and will be rolled out in a phased manner.
The new watch will also be able to play music and podcasts using the built-in speakers. The company has introduced features like Translation and more.
They are also claiming that they’ve extended the battery life of the watch as well. According to new claims, the watch should last around 18 hours on a single charge. It also includes fast charging that will top up 80% battery in just 30 minutes.
The new curved OLED display will have a bigger screen and better viewing angles. The combination of both will make it easy for users to reach and interact with the watch. Both the display and the watch have a wider aspect ratio.
The Watch Series 10 from Apple also comes with a depth gauge, a feature reserved for the Apple Watch Ultra last year. It will also include water temperature measurement, haptic direction sensors, a Tides app, and more things for water sports like Snorkeling.
The new Watch Series 10 will start at $399 and the Watch Ultra 2 will start at $799.
