Apple releases watchOS 2 for Apple Watch
Apple knows that the success of the Apple Watch, like the iPhone, depends on a healthy ecosystem of useful and entertaining apps.
Developer Darius Kazemi has been working on “The Ethical Ad Blocker”, a Chrome extension/ad blocker that will not let you see a website if it runs on advertising.
It has been hard to escape news about ad blocking over the past couple of weeks, after Apple’s iOS 9 software was released, allowing ad blocking on iPhones for the first time.
The Xcode library used by iOS software developers was copied and modified by hackers to put bad code into apps available on the App Store, as previously reported.
All the same, Apple’s “solution” to this problem is utterly ugly .
It features new faces, features, and functions such as being able to pick an image from the Photos app on the watch and set it as the watch face. “Now, apps live on the watch “natively” – that is, they can store and process data using the watch’s hardware, while in the past they relied on the phone for everything“.
Will speed improvements and watchOS 2’s other new features be enough to sell apps on the Apple Watch?
Apple Watch wearers can additionally play audio through the watch.
Swipe down from the top edge for missed notifications, with the most recent on top.
Do the same on your desktop web browser.
BEIJING, Sept 23 China’s “Great Firewall” may have been partly to blame for the first major attack on Apple Inc’s App Store, but experts also point the finger at lax security procedures of some big-name Chinese tech firms and how Apple itself supports developers in its second biggest market. And it’s clearer whether you’ve already earned credit for standing during a given hour. If you want to criticize a religion, write a book. The Apple Watch’s heavy dependence on the iPhone was extremely evident and was perhaps a factor users considered before deciding to purchase the wearable. Or choose time-lapse video from one of six cities. Basically, you have to make the choice every single time.
Starting again, the update then crashed the watch.
“These reviews are legendary for how particular Apple is”, said Robert Walker, founder of mobile dating app Cuddli who worked for Microsoft in China.
Until now, app logic for apps was running on the paired iPhone and being streamed to the Watch.
Wearers can additionally use multiple colours to draw and send more colorful sketches, and now reply to emails from their watch.
Apple removed the malicious versions of those apps from the App store and those developers replaced them with clean updates. But those apps are just starting to appear. But Apple is headed in the right direction, and the update should improve the experience for those who do get the watch now.
