It’s also worth mentioning that the iPhone 5S introduced Apple’s M7 motion processor. This reference is even more topical in China, where the Guardian reports that “a 17-year-old student from Hunan sold one of his kidneys on the black market for 22,000 yuan (£2,224) in 2011 to buy an iPhone and iPad“. And, as we discovered first at WWDC in June, that’s exactly what Apple has done with watchOS2, its full software overhaul of the platform.

The delayed watchOS 2 from Apple is finally available to download.
Apple Watch is still an accessory for iPhone users.
This is a welcome addition.
The biggest change in watchOS 2 is that the Apple Watch will now be able to run native applications directly on the wearable, rather than offloading processing tasks to a paired iPhone.
Here’s what you do: With one app running, swipe in from the left to pull in a second app. Swipe the second app from the top to see a list of other apps you can switch to.
These days I, and many others I’m sure, ask Siri about the Blue Jays score.
You may want to find a good chunk of change lying around beneath couch cushions and beneath mattresses. A different album pic shows each time you raise your wrist. This improves overall response and performance of third-party apps. One of the challenges in testing this feature out so far is that we need to see how app developers incorporate it. Let’s tack a travel itinerary app, such as TripIt. But if you read an email when it pops up as a notification, the only way to trash or flag the mail is to scroll to the end with the Digital Crown.
Killer feature: Complication for watch face can let you know whether the site skies will be suitable for star gazing. Apple may also be using a queue system to ensure speedy downloads.
Appleinsider also looks at the fresh feature called nightstand mode, which allows the Watch face to be viewed on its side when charging. Later this month its Watches are coming to numerous resellers [full list] across 12 countries, or just over half the countries where the Watch is now available.

Along with receiving notifications, checking the weather and accessing Siri, the action for which I use Apple Watch most is looking up transit information. Apple has jumped on the 4K bandwagon, too, letting you plan for the future by capturing your own Ultra HD content, although unlike some of its rivals it doesn’t forcibly shut-down from overheating while it does, which is nice.
