Apple Watch Series 4 Updated With WatchOS 6 At WWDC19

To quickly recap, the last time we checked in with the Apple Watch, the platform had just received its biggest update ever in the Series 4 Edition, with a slew of new functionality that pushed the device far beyond the definition of any watch - smart or otherwise For Apple's 2019's Worldwide Developer's Conference, the tech giant is giving the Series 4 Apple Watch another shot in the arm with the new watchOS 6, which boasts a fresh series additions and refinements to the outgoing operating system, promising to make the Apple watch an even more indispensable part of the wearer's daily life As mentioned, the updates we saw in 2018's Series 4 watch pushed it into an entirely new category as a health device.

Last year's haptic additions to the watch OS have also been updated with something Apple is calling 'taptic chimes' - a series of new tactile & audible alerts that are a little more pleasing to the ear than the traditional set of alarms Finally, and much to the joy of many attendees at WWDC, the Apple App Store is now available directly from the Apple Watch where any app can be purchased or installed directly to the watch On the heels of the keynote event, the store has been refreshed with new strap options that are designed to complement the dynamic new watch faces, but in keeping with the WWDC traditions, Apple won't be bringing any new hardware updates to the Apple Watch until its Fall event.

Pricing for the Apple Watch Series 4 remains at $399 for the entry-level edition, and $499 for the GPS-equipped models. . Source
