Apps with your Apple, Sir?

With Watch, Apple has again built an attractive platform that it hopes will lure developers to truly secure its wearable future. Maps, Pay and Remote for iTunes are there, of course, and third parties include Facebook and Twitter. BMW has an app that will find your car, smart home giant Honeywell has one for wrist-mounted thermostat control, while Starwood Hotels is looking to use the Watch as your room key.

Fitness will play a big part, of course, and Nike is on board with an app to let friends know when you’re jogging (cheers for that). Apple’s own fitness apps are pre-loaded, though, to feed into iOS 8’s Health.
