Apple Watch 4: A massive upgrade
At the 2018 keynote, Apple introduced the Apple Watch Series 4 and it is a wearable with advanced health sensors found in no other smartwatch till date. As with every product upgrade, Apple improved on its cosmetics as well as giving it a larger display and a slimmer case, while also bumping up the internal specs — faster processor power and advanced sensors.
At first glance at the new Apple Watch Series 4, you can tell instantly that the design has been altered — and massively while keeping the same design language in place. The Digital Crown has been updated and now comes with a haptic feedback and by default, this feature is turned on. The display is by far the most noticeable difference from the previous Watches. Apple has eliminated the huge bezels surrounding the display and has made it almost edge- to- edge.
The new Series 4 now comes with an ECG feature ( available in certain countries only) where you can quickly take a reading on your own if you feel you need one and this information can be exported ( remotely) via a PDF to your doctor. The watch also features heart rate notifications which also includes atrial fibrillation ( AF) — a notification appears when the watch notices something out of the ordinary with your heart. The next major health feature introduced with the Series 4 is fall detection. ◗ The Apple Watch Series 4 comes with a starting price of 40,900, and goes up to 80,900 ◗ The new watch is a wearable with advanced health sensors found in no other smartwatch till date
The accelerometer and the gyroscope detect if you have accidentally fallen and then tries to measure the impact if it is unintentional.
The Apple Watch Series 4 comes with an all- new dual- core S4 built on a 64bit architecture which is 50 per cent faster than the Series 3. It has less reliance on the iPhone and loading of apps are blazing fast. This Watch benefits from the buttersmooth experience of the WatchOS 5. Apps open instantly and toggling through the various notifications feels similar to the experience on an iPhone — instantaneous. Apple has upgraded the watch to include the new W3 chip with Bluetooth 5.0. The Apple Watch Series 4 is said to deliver 18 hours of battery on a single topup; the same that’s found on the Series 3.
The Apple Watch Series 4’ s price ranges from ` 40,900 to ` 80,900 and if the price is not a concern, the larger display and a multitude of healthfocused features make it an alluring option for those interested in having a state- of- the- art smartwatch on their wrist.
