In 2007 the original iPhone fundamentally changed the mobile landscape, a trick Apple repeated in following years with its App Store, fingerprint-sending Touch ID, Apple Pay and best-in-class camera. The software update was expected to greatly improve upon the watch’s features, specifically giving it better support for third party applications.
There’s also some new watch faces designs which Apple has bundled with watchOS 2. Those native apps will be able to do more too, since watchOS 2 gives developers access to the accelerometer, heart-rate sensors, microphone and speaker, the Digital Crown, and even the Taptic Engine that provides tactile feedback. The Apple Watch Sport silver aluminum is now available with new orange or blue Sport Bands.
