Cupertino-based Apple Inc. has used the 2019 WWDC opening keynote in San Jose, California to give the world its first introduction to watchOS 6.
Built for Apple Watch, watchOS 6 is the next-generation of watchOS firmware and comes with a number of improvements and notable upgrades over earlier versions.
Apple has a history of keeping those in attendance guessing when it comes to the “will they/won’t they” question about firmware announcements.
It’s a total given that the company will introduce the next-generation of iOS during the opening keynote but it’s generally anyone’s guess as to whether the company will look to make further announcements about less popular firmware, such as watchOS.
With this announcement, we now know that Apple has deemed watchOS 6 worthy and ready for an immediate discussion.
