    "our vision from the very beginning"

  • David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:29:34 PM
  • Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:29:36 PM
    What is the battery drain, though
  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:29:42 PM

  • David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:29:50 PM
  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:29:51 PM
    It doesn't seem like a different design.
  • Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:29:59 PM
    There have been other LTE watches. And others streaming music (Google Play, Spotify)
  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:30:04 PM
    We have packed Series 3 with the most technology in a watch, he says.
  • Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:30:11 PM
    New upgraded processor. 70% boost. dual-core

    It's 70% faster, Siri is quicker than ever, and can talk, he says.
  • Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:30:28 PM
    Siri talks on watch. That could be...useful...for some.

  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:30:50 PM

  • David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:31:02 PM
  • Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:31:03 PM
    Barometer was an overdue feature.
  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:31:07 PM
    The biggest challenge was adding cellular.
  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:31:28 PM
    Williams talks about the complications in building an LTE radio while keeping a smaller body.
  • Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:31:31 PM
    Watch looks similar-sized, despite cellular.
  • Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:31:43 PM
    The display acts as the antenna. (!)
  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:31:52 PM
    Apple integrated an electronic SIM into the new Watch.
  • David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:31:53 PM
  • Scott Stein 9/12/2017 5:32:04 PM
    It uses an eSIM, not a normal SIM card, like iPads
  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:32:10 PM
    Even with the new features, the case is the same size as Series 2, he says.
  • David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:32:14 PM
  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:32:15 PM
    That's a neat trick.
  • David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 5:32:27 PM
  • Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 5:32:35 PM
    The only difference is the crystal at the bottom is .25 mm bigger, he says.
