Wait....so the AirPower only works with the Series 3?

I know he specifically said Series 3, but I'm wondering if older models will work too.

I'm sure it will work with the older watches too.

If it does, I personally won't want to upgrade to series 3.

With the mentioned performance increases (+70%) and efficiency increases (50%) I'd still want. UI looked faster in the presentation, too. Also, having Siri talking is something I definitely wanted for some time now.

Oh yea I think its an excellent upgrade....its just with all the other things I'm going to have to buy from Apple this year, my wallet's gonna need a break lol.

Anyone got any more idea on this? wireless charging would make me upgrade

I'm also curious because if AirPower is Qi Standard, that means the Watch should now charge in the same spots that work for the iPhone 8 or X

In the keynote, i believe they specified that it has to be a Series 3 to work on the power mat

Edit: It's at 1:47 of the keynote. he doesn't say that it must be a Series 3 but he does say "You can place your Series 3 watch on it..."

I wouldn't be surprised if this is exclusive to series 3, but it's not clear to me from how he stated it in the keynote.

You nailed it.

AirPods for me
LTE Watch-Stainless steel as its the bestest
About 94 new bands released as well
Iphone X if that is even a possibility before the new year as pre-orders are going to be a riot

Cha-ching!
