    Siri will be more proactive, and a new watch face will have Siri on it for Watch
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:17:27 PM
    "New watch face powered by Siri intelligence."
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:17:43 PM
    "It automatically displaces information with the same kind of intelligence on iOS"
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:17:50 PM
    "In the morning, I might see, for example, commute time and my first meeting."
  • Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:18:05 PM
    Siri face shows heads-up info in a timeline and more upcoming info picked by machine learning. Like Google Now but Apple
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:18:09 PM
    "Through the day, whenever you raise your wrist, the face will dynamically update with information for you."

  • Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:18:33 PM
    Siri watch face looks like an infinite scroll of heads-up assistants. Neat but I'd like this as a mode all the time.
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:18:42 PM
    "Sometimes you might like less information and more graphics. Kaleidoscope face."
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:18:52 PM

    (This almost makes your square watch look round)
  • Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:19:01 PM
    Kaleidoscope watch face is a tripping-out animation for...those evening times
  • James Martin 6/5/2017 5:19:05 PM

    Now Toy Story characters - Woody, Jessie and Buzz - are faces
  • Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:19:30 PM
    Toy Story animated watch faces, like Minnie/Mickie. Cute (but where is the watch face store...?)
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:19:38 PM
    "These are three really lively new faces in watchOS. Siri Face, Kaleidoscope and Toy Story."
  • Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:19:42 PM
    Watch face store would allow more of these...
  • dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 5:19:45 PM
    Animated watch faces, huh? Future sponsorship opportunities?

    "Proactive intelligence" -- Apple's talking about Siri in the same way Amazon and Google are starting to talk about Alexa and the Google Assistant.
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:20:31 PM
    "They're all achievable because they're based on your real history."

    "We've also created new algorithms ... for high intensity workout training."
  • James Martin 6/5/2017 5:21:25 PM
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:21:40 PM

    "You end up with numbers like calories and distance that don't quite match."
  • dan.ackerman 6/5/2017 5:22:11 PM
    What I really need is a watchOS update that provides easy access to multiple excuses for why I'm not working out.
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:22:12 PM
    "We're allowing for the first time, 2 way data exchange with workout equipment."
  • Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:22:28 PM
    LOL, Dan. haha
  • James Martin 6/5/2017 5:22:34 PM
  • Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:22:44 PM
