Apple has added new videos for Apple Watch Guided Tours section on its website, showcasing how we are going to interact with Cupertino’s new wearable once it starts shipping out on the 24th of April. More details on the new videos can be found here.
The Glide messaging app has just been handed a substantial update, which, among a host of tweaks and enhancements, offers video messaging support for the Apple Watch. Full details can be found after the leap.
The Apple Watch isn't available to the general public yet, although if you happen to be, say, Drake, Pharrell Williams or Katy Perry, then you will already be enjoying the device. As the mere mortals among us count down the days to April 24th, designer Karl Lagerfeld has also been gifted the device in advance of its release, and while the aforementioned names are all currently rocking the Apple Watch Edition, Lagerfeld has been treated to a one-of-a-kind special version.
The release of the Apple Watch is fast approaching, and while many continue to decide which model best suits their requirements, those who've already secured their orders are probably scanning around for the best accessories and peripherals. From Apple's side, there's precious little by way of extras at this point, but given the buzz surrounding the forthcoming wearable, it's no surprise that third-party manufacturers are already promoting their latest Watch-related products ahead of the big launch. Here, we feature a slick Apple Watch dock that not only looks the part, but cleverly conceals the charging cable from view.
The popular and irreplaceable Workflow app for iOS has just been updated to version 1.2, and adds support for the Apple Watch. With over 200 automated actions, the app's availability on the Apple Watch comes in ahead of fans actually getting their hands on their pre-orders, and to add to your excitement, the updated piece of software is on sale for a limited period right now.
Plenty of people who were unable to get to the Apple Store website quick enough on Apple Watch pre-order day have found that their orders have an expected dispatch time of somewhere around June, which is quite frankly, ridiculous. We knew that Apple’s first wearable is proving popular, but that’s just madness.
The latter stage of last week was dominated by the opening of Apple Watch pre-orders, and with some analysts suggesting that the wearable could well be the Next Big Thing, the number of folk who've already secured their unit seems to corroborate this notion. In the United States alone, it is estimated that Apple Watch has been pre-ordered over 950,000 times, and with a number of other nations able to preorder, it seems certain that worldwide, Apple is comfortably over the million mark.
If you were a little late to the Apple Watch pre-order party then you are likely to have joined the back of a lengthy queue. Not long after pre-orders started, shipping times soon stretched into June.
Here's our hands-on and first impressions of Apple Watch Sport, Steel and Gold Edition models. For more details, check out the photo gallery and the embedded video below.
Now that the dust is starting to settle on the Apple Watch pre-order madness that we encountered yesterday and buyers wonder just when their watches will arrive based on Apple's somewhat vague dates, one of the more interesting things to happen was the start of try-on sessions in stores. As people started to fill into stores around the globe, we started to get our first reports on the Apple Watch from normal buyers rather than reviewers.
