Apple had its event launching iPhone and Apple Watch. I had to rely on the live blog to get most of it live, as my Apple TV and iPad refused to show me anything watchable:-( But I was going to talk about the launch.
The iPhone did not have anything earth shattering as I was afraid. But having waited with my 4S until its life's end (When Apple stops giving you the OS upgrade, its almost time for you to move on if you ask me:-) it was still something to hear about. A better battery life, they said, and that is good! My reading is, this is the lull before the storm, OS 8 going to bring you! The fun will start when people start using the iOS 8 features to integrate many things into the Apple environment. Then, the speed and performance enhancement other wise just a matter of statistics now will be interesting!
Watch did not disappoint. It did not thrill me yet either! A remote on my wrist is great to have, and that is done quite well by Apple. The covering of watch face to silence the phone and the tap gesture to guide you on a walk is a nice one, will be greatly appreciated by people with special needs and others too!
Once again, in itself, Apple Watch and iPhone 6 does not excite me the way some of the other launches did in past. But the prospect of these with new iOS 8 is really interesting.
Lets see what the future has in store!
Update:I heard a news on HealthKit that its having some issues and the apps are pulled out the last minute due to that. I hope this will be sorted out quickly.
iOS8 seems to have brought song recognition! And it seems to be working great too. I am yet to update my OS so more on iOS 8 Later!
