And in many ways, Apple devoted the first part of its presentation to what its hardware could do, rather than on new designs. They’re including an adapter for analog headphones (the ones you’re now using) in the box.

Apple Watch Series 2 will go on sale sometime late October this year. Interested buyers can pre-order the same from September 9. They’re in no way subtle, but then, fitness gear rarely is. The new software, iOS10 rolls out on September 13.
