Live Coverage of Apple's WWDC 2016 Keynote: iOS 10, macOS 10.12, and More [Keynote Over]

Long press on button for SOS??? I foresee an explosion in pocket/accident calls to emergency number!

Pocket accidents from a watch?

You never put your hand in your pocket or other such places when wearing watch? Perhaps under a pillow would be more common.

Is starting with watchOS a good sign or a bad sign?

I always eat my vegetables first, so that I can enjoy the meat last.

I'm hoping they're taking a similar theme.

Why I have finally taken off the Apple Watch for the last time

But the saving grace for Apple is that the broader problem isn’t the company’s fault. It’s that smartwatches are a solution in search of a problem. A technology created, not to serve consumer demand, but to serve the need of device manufacturers to fill the revenue hole created by declining smartphone growth. You don’t need one, and neither do I. It just took me nine months of wearing it to realise.

How long until Tim Cook realizes it?
Nobody needs a smartwatch.​

Is starting with watchOS a good sign or a bad sign?

To me it's a good sign. WatchOS is their least used OS and already the improvements look good.

This Breathe thing sounds great for me as someone who suffers anxiety!

Can't help but notice that the icon looks like the photos icon haha

 

[Saturnine]

Some good stuff in watchOS 3 but surely Apple should be doing things developers can't ... not developing a 'Breathe' app? As a 32 year old, I reckon I've gotten pretty good at breathing by now.

 

[nocturnum]

Its amusing how Apple health tech carries some sort of McDonalds quality.

 

[Dribo]

Why are they using so much time on watchOS No macs I guess.... I hope I'm wrong though

 

[LordQ]

Wow, this breathe app was made for me and my meditation!

 

[Oblivious.Robot]

Breathe?

As someone who has crazy anxiety issues, I want this if it can help me destress and not go crazy bananas!

 

[cwwilson]

Saving iOS 10 for last?

 

[MH01]

Breathe..... Hmmm , a demo maybe...

 

[Steve121178]

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!!!!

Just exactly how often do you accidentally bring up the power off screen (which is where the new SOS will be)? For me, it's literally never.

 

[Nismo73]

Mac osx at the end with Macbook Pro intro - do it!

 

[fel10]

So are they introducing a new watch today or just the os?

 

[niun]

A Breathing App... Hmmm...
Anyone else forget to breath during the day?

Kidding of course..

 

[Razorhog]

Deepak Chopra?

 

[Ciordia9]

GIVE IT TO KEVIN!!! /s

 

[fel10]

Oh God, the mini Bill Gates is back

To me it's a good sign. WatchOS is their least used OS and already the improvements look good.

That's what I was thinking, I was not at all excited for watchOS changes but now I am. The watch will be even more useful.

 

[insomniac86]

Regarding the long press for SOS being a problem... Are the people on here really that stupid? It's exactly the same as how to currently turn the watch off.... it simply has a call emergency services button under the current meant which allows you to turn off the watch. How many people accidentally turned off their watch on WatchOS2?

 

[samcraig]

Unfortunately the breathe app won't help those they hyperventilate over whether or not they should buy the apple watch or what version or band...

 

[Ries]

No macbook Pro confirmed, they made an app especially for the Macbook Pro "Waiting for skylake" thread! Just Breathe(TM)

I don't think there's enough of these watches in the wild for it to be an issue.
