Apple Watch

Jørgen Mouritzen is a Danish who offered an Apple Watch. And on October 17, when he was in his flying club, he felt a burn on his wrist and grilled meat odor. If this is followed intense pain. Pain from exactly where was placed at his watch. Jørgen Mouritzen is convinced, it is the Apple Watch that burned her wrist. He even claims to have witnesses to corroborate his statements. But now, Apple is not of the same opinion after investigation. The company says there is no evidence that Apple Watch has burned man. Nevertheless, the matter is now between Apple and Jørgen rule, in private.

So the Apple charger operates exclusively with Apple Watch - and vice versa. Too bad for the consumer who hoped eventually recharged with this accessory other Qi compatible devices that might be available or consider acquiring, or use a different charger. John Perzow, one of the Wireless Power Consortium spokesman, the industrial group that promotes the Qi standard, confirmed to The Register that Apple has decided not to submit to its interoperability testing. The manufacturer has especially modified the software stack so that the charger only works with the Watch - therefore do not support more third-party chargers and potentially less expensive. However, on average, these accessories are sold between 10 and 30 euros. For Apple Watch, it will be necessary to count 89 euros. Finally, note that 89 euros dock comes with a USB cable to Ligthning. To connect to an electrical outlet, it will still buy or already have an AC adapter. At Apple, such a product is sold 25 euros.

This application works as a social network and you need to create an account. Fortunately, almost Desss asks nothing, if not username and password. To connect to your friends, the application does not search your address book, the two persons concerned must be added another. Once everything is in place, Desss is halfway between the function of Apple Watch and Snapchat. There are a few interface elements of the latter, but also the idea that a drawing can be seen only once. After two days, all drawings are removed and a button in the settings used to clear everything immediately. Furthermore, the drawing is not stored on the servers that developers time to send; there is deleted when a drawing was viewed. In short, Dresss is very simple and it's not just another social network that tries to collect as much information about its users. The application is completely free and worth a try if you like to send drawings to your loved ones.

According to a reliable source, Apple will market a dock for Apple Watch designed by him. This dock Apple simply called "Magnetic Charging Dock" is circular and can ask the Apple Watch flat or horizontally (the central magnetic connector can be vertically), so use table mode night. The Lightning cable is included, but not the USB AC adapter. This Magnetic Charging Dock will be sold € 89. We do not know the launch date, but next exit is possible.

We always raises the question of the Apple Watch renewal cycle. While the first model was presented in September 2014 and released in April 2015, the next version of Apple's watch is still hiding. But the CEO of Quanta Computer, a leading supplier of Apple, has been left to a few confessions: according to him, the Apple Watch dice 2 will be available in spring 2016, just a year after the release of the first model. But the CEO does not stop there, according to him, Apple Watch retain an identical design, but will be equipped with better battery and a FaceTime camera. In terms of software enhancements, an independence with improved iPhone will be found. In the series of rumors, also found smart bracelets, with additional sensors. A semi-confirmed extrapolated information and a statement of Tim Cook. All this is obviously to take the conditional, but it seems that the second model of the watch connected Apple starts (already!) To take shape.

This is the perfect program if you plan to give or offer a Apple Watch the approach of the holiday season: the latter is very rarely on sale, but you can recover up to 50 € vouchers purchase if you buy it by Sunday at Darty. The French retailer has indeed you donate € 10 for every € 100 spent, with a ceiling of € 50. So you can recover at least € 30 for Apple Watch Sport 38 mm entry, € 40 on Apple Watch Sport 42 mm entry and € 50 on all other models. The gift card will unfortunately not be used for year-end shopping, and you must wait until 1 February 2016 to enjoy it (it will be valid until March 31).

Graham Bower, of Cult of Mac, explains that even after running nearly 30 hours with his smartwatch and its iPhone, the results recorded by the watch Apple showed quite far from reality. After three successive tests, it has found an error rate of about 45%! After contacting the support of Apple, and re-paired désappairé Apple Watch her then again the calibration of the watch, he would also noticed no improvement. Desarnauts Bernard, CEO of Wristly company, which has to its credit many surveys of owners of Apple Watch, explains that while the vast majority of users are very satisfied with the watch, the satisfaction rate drops to only 55% when iPhone is out of reach of smartwatch. Moreover, it appears that Apple Watch the holders of doing more exercise are often those who complain the most reliability problems. These concerns relate both the "Year" application watchOS that third-party apps like Runkeeper. Jason Jacobs, CEO of the eponymous company justifies this behavior by the use of Apple APIs to track races within the application, making it as reliable that "Exercise". Nevertheless, the error rate could be quite different for different users. Many Apple Watch owners explain indeed have never encountered such problems and say get fairly reliable results with their shows.

You have already tested almost all the sites and dating apps, not (in any case those who are old enough to do)? If you have an Apple Watch, you do not may know what applications take.

Failing to have Apple's sales figures on his watch, the estimates are going well. The latest comes from the Anglo-Saxon analyst firm Canalys and covers 7 million Apple Watch since its launch. "This figure is in excess of the cumulative shipments of all other suppliers in the five previous quarters," the study finds. For its part, Apple is careful to communicate on sales of his Watch, which invites to interpretation. In the United States, to boost sales of its watch, Apple offers a 50 dollars (45 euros) combined when buying an iPhone and an Apple Watch. This promotion, rare among the manufacturer, tested in some Apple Stores in California and in the state of Massachusetts. But the real barometer for Apple should be as usual the last quarter of the year, during which periods the focus of "Black Friday" in the US and Christmas, conducive to sales of high tech products. Sales of Apple Watch remain confined to the category "Other" which includes the Apple TV box, the original Beats products, iPod and accessories. During the presentation of its financial results by the manufacturer, this category generated $ 3 billion in revenue for Apple in the fiscal quarter ended September 2015 end.

A surprising problem hit the screens of a handful of Apple Watch: sudden onset of a task on the screen that pops up for no particular reason. This black spot grows without the user having anything to reproach himself. Imad has sent us some photos of his own watch that has suffered from this strange disease. Our reader told us that his Apple Watch did not suffer shock or immersion (in any case, Apple recommends cleaning the digital crown under a trickle of water). At the Apple Store when it was taken up by product, Genius explained that this phenomenon could come from a burn due to sunlight. The stain however appeared to 22h and has grown very quickly: after two days, she was overflowing on the hour. The case is not isolated. We find evidence of the phenomenon in the month of May on Apple's support forum here or there for example. The only solution is to go to an Apple Store to have it replaced his watch.

Sales of its flagship smartphone yet allowed the Cupertino giant to announce results up sharply, although this dependence is starting to worry the markets. But when it comes to talking about sales of its first connected watch, Apple usually boot into touch, citing competitive reasons. Fortunately, the announcement of its results can be inferred if the number of sold Apple Watch, at least turnover that they represent. Indeed, Apple said that more than 100% of the increase of income of the category "other products" were in fact sales of Apple Watch. A category increased in one year from $ 8.3 billion to more than ten billion, as highlighted in the first Venture Beat site. And the figure is impressive: while its sale only goes back to late April, and has therefore been available for sale five months, between May and September, in terms of the fiscal year, it will already have reported at least $ 1.7 billion (€ 1.55 billion). So mortal danger as the flood of quartz or single once technophile and ephemeral neighborhood to the big names of the global watchmaking? Everything is actually question of selling price. Thus, in the segment of more than 3,000 Swiss francs (2700 euros), Rolex is and remains in first place, ahead of Omega and Cartier. That is, when the Swiss watch luxury sells five watches in the world, one in five is a Rolex. According Vontobel, the three giants of luxury and watchmaking such as Richemont, LVMH and Swatch Group weigh three of them 54% of the 1.6 million high-end watches exported from Switzerland in 2014, with 28%, 20% and 6% market share in this price level.

Once again the iPhone did not receive. The flagship Apple has sold 48 million copies in the last quarter and more than 230 million throughout the fiscal year, which ended in late September shifted to the firm at the apple. Continuing to sell over and over from year to year, the Cupertino iPhone enabled the group to generate an annual turnover up 28% from last year to 233.7 billion dollars and to increase its net profit by 35% to over 53 billion. What to make 2015 "the best year in the history of Apple", welcomed Tim Cook. The iPhone's performance in China, set to become the main market of Apple, have hardly been comforting since the group has seen its smartphone sales shrink from one quarter to another. Above all, there is the question of growth for the firm at the apple. "One of their challenge will be to make both the software with Apple Pay, Apple TV and Apple Music, than they were able to with iTunes," said Gregory Hachin specialist at Kurt Salmon adds that "in the hardware, the group is losing ground in terms of innovation."

The excellent Macif application is passed in version 1.3 bringing many new features and improvements. The utility is now compatible with the 3D Touch iPhone 6s but also the strength of the Apple Touch Watch. With Quick Actions 6s your iPhone, you can unlock your Mac - just like with your fingerprint with the Touch ID. It is also possible to lock / unlock your machine automatically whenever your main iPhone moves away or approaches the Mac. A second iPhone can also be added but do not support the latter automatic function. Moreover, Apple Watch homeowners can see from shows them how Macs are connected and will be able to unlock their machine. To enjoy it, install the watchOS 2 on Apple Watch. The Force Touch can lock or unlock your Mac from the Audio Control screen, without returning to the main screen.

The Apple Watch is not extended for a year, but already thinking about the future release. And designers will give heart to joy, with more or less wacky concepts. The latter, signed by the Swiss company Handy Abovergleich, belongs to the category more realistic. No nonsense, but some ideas Apple could follow next year ... On the hardware side, the other new concerns bracelets. We know that there is a connector that could be used by a bracelet on current Apple Watch, but until then it did not happen. And if Apple operated, such as adding a blood pressure sensor? The concept even imagine where it could be placed on Sport wristband. It's not a crazy concept and we would not be surprised to find some of the ideas in future Apple Watch, from the next generation or the following. We'll know more next year, probably in spring 2016!

In the opinion of specialists, Apple has certainly developed the most powerful smart watch market. The US giant has relied once again on the recipe that has made it successful: the attention to detail and ease of use, even if he had to introduce new interactions to fit the miniature size of the screen . But it has not solved the problem that abut all manufacturers of the sector: how to raise the watches connected over their original setting device smartphone tool. Apple Watch The first allows less use her iPhone to simplify the life of increasingly connected users. It displays notifications and social media networks, SMS, take incoming calls, following directions, weather displays and music widgets. It also allows controlling a Uber, to find a song on Shazam or manage their airline tickets. The Apple Watch also of sporting dimension. It incorporates a heart rate monitor and a GPS and an accelerometer, via the iPhone, for monitoring sport and physical activity. It displays a weekly record of your daily efforts and count your exercises. It also allows you to set personal goals, it will endeavor to make you achieve great shots reminders. All with an autonomy that allows it to largely hold a day. It is intended for casual sportsmen and people concerned to adopt more healthy behavior, sportsmen wishing to improve their performance on specific criteria. Nothing revolutionary, then, but more than enough to distinguish it from the fleet of Android watches already on the market for twenty months and offer "Finally meaning to smart watches" the confession of the Wall Street Journal.

Swiss watch exports had already experienced sharp declines in May and July. September is therefore the third month of decline therefore, with a contraction in exports of nearly 8% compared to September 2014. If the slowdown in the Chinese economy had worried investors of Apple, the Middle Kingdom is among the countries where the decline in Swiss exports is most pronounced, the Hong Kong side and the US according to figures the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry. Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea and Taiwan also showed signs of weakness. In addition, the Federation indicates that all price segments were affected by the decline, but the decline was particularly marked for watches sold under € 500, a range in competition with smartwatches particular, Apple Watch. Given the performance of the Swiss watch industry since last April, one can not help but see a correlation between the fall in exports and the arrival of Apple far as concerns, although the strong franc does not help country's industrial business.

One of the basic functions of Apple Watch is his Heart which, obviously, measures the heart rate of the wearer in all circumstances. Alivecor The company, which already has in its catalog an electrocardiogram (ECG) innovative iPhone, has developed a bracelet for Apple Watch also amazing. The product, called Apple Watch EKG integrates two electrodes in a flexible strap that is reminiscent of the bracelet fluoroelastomer of Apple Watch Sport. The sensor measures the pulse and constantly communicates the data to a watchOS 2 application through Bluetooth or not in the hidden diagnostic port, but ... via ultrasound, a proven technology with the holster for iPhone ECG. Data transferred by the strap are received by the microphone of the Apple Watch, which consumes 92% less than the Bluetooth. The operation of the app is very similar to the iPhone Dictaphone: once started, the software continuously records the heart beats and voice messages. The idea is to have a very accurate picture of the user's heart rate, such as in a stressful situation: before a speech or a review, we can state orally in what state of mind you are.

Forte is the last Twelve South accessory and this time it concerns Apple Watch. The manufacturer presents its new product as a "luxury bracket" for the watch Apple. The program support in height to place the unit, retained by the magnet of the charging cable, and below a small platform covered with leather to accommodate an iPhone (or something else). This is not the first time that the prop is interested in Apple Watch, but the Forte is better suited to shows that HiRise, its first product we had had the opportunity to test. The latter was well designed, but the white plastic was not at the level of the most expensive Apple Watch, and above it only worked in portrait mode. Gold watchOS 2, recharging is done in landscape mode to take advantage of the new nightstand mode.

This is one of the best GPS available on iOS and it is sad to see how little it does, however, our language: Navigon is updated to version 2.13, a version that will interest the owners of Apple Watch, who will find safety camera and traffic jams on their watch (with haptic feedback). Owners of Connect IQ, the publisher, have the same opportunities, which are paying options at € 4.99 and 12.99, € respectively. As for the French, and the displeasure of the eyes, here are the full release notes. There's there a Javanese translator in the audience?

Click, the new application for Apple Watch "The Iconfactory" of these applications is that the concept is so simple that you wonder what they are for.
