Apple held their September 2018 event at the Steve Jobs Theater on Apple Park campus today and unveiled a few new products, which include a few new iPhones and the newest incarnation of the Apple Watch.
Tim Cook began the event with the Apple Watch Series 4. The new Apple Watch Series 4 will come in both 40mm and 44mm sizes and the screen is now over 30 percent bigger than the previous versions of the Apple Watch.
What makes this Apple Watch more significant that the others is that it has a lot more features when it comes to the health portion of it. The Digital Crown’s ring now has a sensor on it so that a user can measure their heart rate. On top of that, the watch can do an ECG and predict when you are going to fall. Essentially, it could be one of the newest forms of Life Alert.
The new Apple Watch starts at $399 for the regular Series 4 model for both sizes and then cost $499 for the cellular version. Pre-orders for the watch begin on September 14, 2018 and the Apple Watch Series 4 will be released to the public on September 21, 2018.
