It wouldn't surprise me if the new hand-washing app on Apple Watch and face mask Memojis emerges as some of the big stories of WWDC. I never cease to be amazed how gimmicks like this capture the public's imagination #WWDC20 https://twitter.com/...

watchOS 7 no longer recommends force touch. Next watch is probably axing it

Using the Modular face with all-custom SwiftUI-drawn complications is the closest we've gotten so far to third-party watch faces.

Building sleep tracking into watchOS seems to point to some pretty dramatic improvements in Series 6 Apple Watch battery life. I regularly end my days at ~20% battery with a Series 5 Watch.

If Apple Watch can detect hand washing now then it can probably detect other activities involving vigorous hand motions and I for one would like to know what Apple is doing with the data

watchOS 7 drops support for Series 1&2, requires Series 3+ 🥳🥳🥳🥳. That is a tremendous baseline to work from. https://www.apple.com/... https://twitter.com/...
