‘Tis a day of updates and watchOS and tvOS are no exception.
Apple on Monday, released watchOS 3.2, which will require that you update your iPhone to iOS 10.3 and your Apple Watch have at least a 50 percent battery charge and be within range of your iPhone before beginning the installation.
watchOS 3.2 offers the following fixes and changes:
Amidst the hubbub of yesterday’s announcements, Apple unveiled watchOS 3, its upcoming operating system for the Apple Watch.
The new operating system seems to focuses on addressing comments made about the speed and responsiveness in previous versions of watchOS, including background loading of data, a quick-access Control Center, and new uses for the side button.
During the demonstration, watchOS head Kevin Lynch showed off the speed factor and explained that favorite apps will be kept in memory, background updates will pre-cache data, and apps will launch instantly.
I found this to be very interesting since I nearly mentioned it during my epic-length article about the Mac’s 30th Anniversary. Cult of Mac recently uncovered that the original, artistic, “Picasso-like” logo that adorned manuals, ads, and packaging for the original Macintosh, was not inspired by Picasso after all. The art student in me is ashamed of not seeing this. According to John Casado, one of the art directors on the original Macintosh development team, the inspiration for the distinctive logo was actually Henri Matisse, not Pablo Picasso. You can see some of this influence exemplified in works such as Le bonheur de vivre and Le Bateau.
