Apple Watch Series 3 unveiled with cellular built-in By Global News

Introducing Apple Watch Series three, and it has cellular built-in. Now you have the freedom to go anywhere with just your Apple Watch this. This has been our vision from the very beginning, and we believe built-in Cellular makes series three, the ultimate expression of Apple Watch. Now you can go for a run with just your watch and still be connected. You can leave your phone when you go to the beach or just run a quick errand, and it's really nice to know you can be reached if needed. While staying at the moment, you can receive an important call with just your watch and, and the number is the same numbers your iPhone, you don't have to manage a separate number.

The apps you rely on like messages just work in series at your beck and call anytime anywhere. You can use maps and get directions and the location for find. My friend automatically switches to your watch when you're away from your phone and third-party apps like WeChat work over cellular as well and coming next month. Cellular is going to change the way we listen to music because with Apple Watch Series three and Apple Music, you can stream 40 million songs on your wrist. You'll have access to all your favorite music.

You can listen to beats one live or any Apple radio music station. Furthermore, you can even ask Siri to find you the perfect track. Now. The best device for staying motive for staying active has all the music. You need to stay motivated.

What to enable these features on Apple Watch. We have packed Series three with the most advanced technologies ever in a watch inside is a new dual-core processor, delivering up to 70%, more performance. It's really, really fast. Siri is quicker than ever, and thanks to the new processor for the first time on Apple Watch, Siri can talk. It's 64 degrees right now in South, Lake Tahoe.

It's! Actually it's really convenient to not have to look at the screen. When you ask it a question for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, we developed a custom wireless chip. We call w2 there's nothing else like it. It delivers up to 85% faster Wi-Fi, while being 50% more power efficient for both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and we've added a barometric altimeter. So now you get flights of stairs climbed and elevation gains after a workout we're also releasing an app for developers.

This can be great for skiing and snowboarding. Apps, of course, got a snowboarder out there. Of course, the biggest challenge of all was adding cellular. You see, our little watch is already packed, and you have to add antennas radios, power, amplifiers a SIM card, and if you don't do it right, it gets so big. It looks like a house arrest, bracelet, and you're not going to want to wear it.

So our engineers have been hard at work, and they've come up with some really creative solutions, for example, rather than add an antenna. The display itself is the multi frequency antenna for both LTE and UMTS, and of course you have to have a SIM card, but even a NATO SIM would be way too big. So instead we integrated an electronic SIM, and it's a fraction of the size. So here's where we ended up even with all these new features, faster, dual-core, processor, w2, altimeter, all the stuff you've got to put in for cellular the case for series 3 is the same size as series 2. The only difference is we extended the back crystal Amir 0.25 millimeters. That it is thin as two sheets of paper.

It's its really magical to make a stand-alone call on a device. This is small and I'd like to do that for you right now, I'm going to switch watches, so you guys can see. What's going on, this watch is connected over the AT&T cellular network. This is our new Explorer face, and I'm going to tap on the phone app, and I'm going to call Deidre who's, a colleague on the watch team, hi, hi, Deidre, hey I'm, calling you from the new Steve Jobs theater. How are you doing? Oh, yeah sure you are? Why don't we pull in some video and show everybody where you are yeah? That's you DJ, give give give well, it looks beautiful out there.

Well, so so far, so good DJ I should probably cut it off before something goes awry but be safe out there, and thanks for doing this, I'm going to go rogue for a minute I. You know you got you guys get it, but sometimes people take technology for granted and just for perspective, I might in fact I'm actually double miked in just the right location. So you can hear me DJ's out in the middle of a windy lake, and the only microphone on Deidre is the little tiny one on the Apple Watch. It's a foot or two away from her mouth she's paddling and the signals being sent over cellular coming in and that's just darn close to magic. We would apply series three comes in a wide variety of cases and bands.

We have a beautiful new gold, aluminum finish along with silver and Space Gray, and we're excited to introduce a new band. Furthermore, we call the sport loop, it's designed for an active lifestyle, and it's light. Stretchy and breathable for Apple Watch Nike, plus we have exclusive new colors, and they're. Releasing a new version of their Nike Plus run club app with great new features like in run, audio coaching, and we have some wonderful colors across all of our bands that you just have to see in person. We have a great partnership with Hermes and the tradition continues this year with some new watch face styles, some beautiful new bands like the one on the left, that's inspired by the classic Hermes driving glove, and last year we introduced a white ceramic watch this year, we're adding a ceramic watch in a gorgeous gray finish.

All of these watches were built with a great deal of care, as well as a concern for the environment, and they're free of these harmful materials. So that's Apple Watch Series three cellular, GPS swim proves 70%, faster, dual-core, processor, barometric, altimeter, all the features of watch, OS, four, and it still has all day battery life up to 18 hours across a mix of LTE, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. We have two versions of series: three there's one with cellular at 399 and a version without cellular.
