Apple Watch Series 4 announced

Apple’s big September event just kicked off and the first to hit the limelight is the Apple Watch Series 4. It brings with it a bigger screen and a whole lot of new watch faces.

First up, Apple stretched the display to fit the watch’ body. There are two sizes that are 35% and 32% larger than their predecessors. Apple is also adding in different kinds of watch faces, with the most important ones showing a lot more information to the forefront. For a little more flair, there are three new ones with different animations — Flame, Water, and Vapor.

The crown of the watch also received a redesign, it now has haptic feedback and a new look. The microphone was repositioned for better audio and reduced echo. On the hardware front, we have the new S4 chipset with a 64-bit dual-core processor. It will also come with watchOS 5, the series’ new OS.

The Series 4 is bringing in new features that are targeted on health. Particularly, fall detection, Low heart rate notification, atrial fibrillation detection, and an electrocardiogram (ECG).
