Later this year, watchOS 3 will bring new enhancements to the Apple Watch experience.

  • Wait. I came here for *all* of the announcements that I missed... and I only see one heading for WatchOS. Was there anything NOT WatchOS related? Or are we expecting that tomorrow or something?
  • Never mind... didn't even realize the day's event wasn't over yet.
  • Another article posted too early. Lmao. All of the announcements before the announcements are even over?!?!
  • wow, that's all they brought to the table?
  • WatchOS is the only thing I would upgrade maybe my Mac but last time it took like three more updates to work fine. Ios 10? Nothing really ground breaking and the biggest release yet? Maybe I missed something but try to catch up with Android I guess s
  • I was too busy today to catch the keynote but was looking for a brief what I missed kinda thing. I'll be honest. Imore is pathetic. Went over to macrumors and there was what i wanted...articles describing changes in iOS, tvOS, macOS. and watchOS. The imore team that posted idiotic "what's in my bag" stuff all week? Nothing. Just the B team "writers" regurgitating left and right about a feature here and there. Your frontpage is a joke.. Is this really the best you can do? You've finally lost a long time reader. I don't have time to sift through the nonsense anymore..
  • Did you follow the links in this summary to the full articles on each item? I'd call you a name, but it's not worth my time. :)
  • Hello lol
