Apple's series of smartwatches is one of the best-selling in the world and graces wrists around the world, but it's not perfect. The Apple Watch 4 is the company's most stylish device yet. It's at the top of our list of the best smartwatches. It is also packed with many new high-end features. The Series 4 saw Apple introduce an ECG monitor, though it has yet to be activated in most countries around the world, as well as fall detection and a new design that ensures existing straps can still be used while offering more space. So why are we already talking about the Apple Watch 5? Judging by the past few years, it won't be long before Apple tells us about a new device. At the moment, we're expecting it to be called the Apple Watch Series 5, and we've rounded up all the rumors we've seen so far below. There aren't many rumors yet, so you'll find a selection of improvements we'd like to see in Apple's next smartwatch.
Apple Watch 5 release date and price
At the moment, we don't know when the Apple Watch 5 will launch, but we can stick to an educated guess. The Apple Watch 4 is worth buying right now because this device is only a few months old and we don't expect a refresh from the company before September 2019. The Apple Watch 3 and Apple Watch 4 were introduced in September of their respective years. We expected the company to follow the same procedure for its next device. Often Apple introduces devices and releases them 10 days later. Once you've heard of the Apple Watch 5, it probably won't take you long to buy one. We also expect to hear about watchOS 6, this is the software that should work on the Apple Watch 5, at WWDC 2019, which is expected to start on June 3. Regarding the price, we have no reason to believe that this price will increase compared to the RRP of the Apple Watch 4. This watch started at €399 / €399 / AU €599 for the smaller version of GPS and €429 / € 429 / AU €649 for the larger 44mm. If you want mobile internet, you'll be able to buy the smaller watch priced at €499 / £499 / AU$749 and €529 / AU$529 / AU$799 for the larger watch. The price of the Apple Watch 5 may fluctuate, but it's the clearest indicator of what it will cost when it launches.
Apple Watch 5 news and rumors
So far, we haven't heard much about the Apple Watch 5 yet, but a report might give us an idea of what to expect. The first major report was published by trusted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said the company would be about to introduce a "new ceramic case design" on at least one model. Mr. Kuo also believes that Apple will bring ECG monitor support to a greater number of countries with the Apple Watch 5 (although this may also be a software update for the company). Apple Watch 4), as well as a new way to recharge your watch. He thinks Apple will adopt two-way wireless charging in its next generation of smartphones, which means you'll be able to place your Apple Watch on the back of an iPhone 11 and charge it on the iPhone. using phone battery. Elsewhere, it has been reported that Apple was working on a sleep tracking feature. The Apple Watch 5 could finally track your sleep without you needing to download a third-party app. Since much of the stuff should already be in place, sleep tracking may also appear on older models as a software update. However, the report says that the functionality is expected in 2020, so we may not see it before the Apple Watch 6. A Reuters report also announced that Apple would turn to Japan Display to make OLED panels for the Watch 5. This probably wouldn't have any effect on the final product, but it's interesting to see that the company is already preparing its manufacturing contracts for this. appliance of the year A patent filed by Apple shows a system that monitors chemicals in the air to "sniff," which could track your body odor or detect the quality of the air where you train. The Apple Watch 5 is almost totally unknown. Rumors consistent with Apple's proprietary round displays and other technologies surface every year, but for now, we have no reason to think this is true of this smartwatch.Apple Watch 5: What we want to see
I hope Apple's new smartwatch represents a significant innovation. The Apple Watch 4 has been a big change for the mobile lineup, but we expect even more in the next generation smartwatch. This is what we expect:1. Improve battery life
The Apple Watch doesn't have the worst battery life for a smartwatch, but it doesn't have the best either. The Apple Watch Series 4 has the best battery we've seen yet from a smartwatch company... but we always want more. Perhaps Apple could improve its processing technology to make more use of the battery already inside, or perhaps the company would include a larger cell to improve lifespan. from the battery. Apple may even go a step further and include a low battery mode, as we've seen on other watches, like the TicWatch Pro.2. A wider selection of applications
This is something that would improve all Apple wearables. Some of the major players have dropped support for Apple Watch, including Instagram and Slack, and we'd like to see Apple invest in bringing these users back to watchOS. If you can't get the big name services, we'd like to see Apple involve more developers on the platform to create innovative apps for the service that rival Tizen and Wear OS.
3. And something special for Spotify.
The year 2018 saw the start of a Spotify app on your Apple Watch, but that's not what everyone wanted. Currently you can only use it to control music on other devices, which means you can't download albums or playlists directly to your watch. Apple Music allows this on the Apple Watch, so why can't the company include similar support for Spotify? In fact, we'd like to see the company adopt portable support for Tidal, YouTube Music, and various other streaming services. This would also be an important step for Apple to open up and in turn would mean a lot to some users.4. Better sleep technology
Apple's sleep tracking technology isn't the best on the Apple Watch and we found that it's not always tracking each night's sleep with great accuracy. We would like the company to work on improving this feature that some people find essential on their smartwatch. You can buy a variety of different sleep monitors that can be installed under your sheets. We'd like to see Apple adopt their high-end heart rate monitoring technology to compete with some of them.5. A slightly slimmer design.
We always demand another, but the Apple Watch is still chunky on the wrist. The 44mm Series 4 looks thinner because it's bigger, but it's still a chunkier device than other smartwatches money can buy. Apple can further reduce the risk by incorporating smaller processing technology and perhaps new battery technology. We don't know how Apple can do it, but we'd like to.
6. Android support
Here's the one on the list that we're almost certain won't happen, but we're including it anyway. We would like to make Apple Watch 5 compatible with Android devices. In the five years since the original Apple Watch was announced, we've always wanted this, but the company has limited compatibility with its own range of iPhones. Android Wear started out as a platform for Android phone users, but a few years in the business have opened up support for the iPhone. This was a major benefit for the company, and eventually more than a third of its users were using an iPhone. Wouldn't that mean a boost in sales for the Apple Watch if it suddenly worked with Android devices? Apple has made one of the best smartwatches money can buy, why not share it with everyone? It probably won't happen, but we can dream.7. Another gamechanger
< p class="bordeaux-image-check">
You may not be able to use this feature yet, but enabling an electrocardiogram (ECG) on a smartwatch is a game changer for anyone who cares about their heart health. We wish Apple would do the same with another feature that makes our jaws drop with the Apple Watch 5. It's an easy task, right? The new ECG feature of the Apple Watch 4 is believed to be on the verge of being adopted by a range of third-party smartwatches coming in 2019, showing that Apple is a pioneer with this technology. We don't know at the moment which will be. the next step, but we are sure that the brains of Apple are already trying to design this new technology. Perhaps a suitable device for those who suffer from diabetes? Only time will tell.
