History

The Apple Watch was announced by Tim Cook on September 9, 2014. The Apple Watch integrates fitness monitoring and health-oriented features, as well as integration with iOS and other Apple products and services. Apple presented the Apple Watch in three collections: Apple Watch, Apple Watch Sport, and Apple Watch Edition. The watch distinguishes itself through various combinations of cases and interchangeable bands. The watch relies on a connected iPhone to perform many of its default functions (such as calls and messages) and will be wirelessly compatible with iPhone 5 or later models running iOS 8.2 or later, through the use of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Its screen is a pressure-sensitive touchscreen capable of distinguishing between a touch and a press, and features a digital crown, which can be rotated to scroll or zoom and pressed to return to the home screen. The watch also has a button to display a contacts list. The watch is charged via inductive charging, using a cable similar to the MagSafe cable of Apple's MacBook laptop family. Apple designed a new typeface called San Francisco for the Apple Watch, which Apple states was designed for readability on the device's small display. The device was available for pre-order from April 10 and began shipping on April 24, 2015.
