For yesterday's WWDC, the biggest highlight is the newly released watchOS 2, which is the first major update after just six weeks of Apple Watch release, although in principle we will not see Apple Watch 2 soon. But the watchOS 2, which will be publicly updated next month, can be said to be a face-to-face upgrade for this new product line. Not only will everyone who has an Apple watch upgrade, it will increase the appeal for those who don’t buy a watch. force. Why do you say that?

In fact, at the press conference yesterday, many new features of watchOS 2 were announced. For example, photos can be used as dials, smart home products can be connected, microphones on the watch can be directly activated, and even more open to third-party applications. Permissions, of course, are important upgrades, but I think the most important thing is not these, but Apple Watch's attempt to "stand alone" on the iPhone alone, this tendency is very obvious.

Apple Watch

People who have worn Apple Watch have the feeling that most apps are not booting fast, because for Apple Watch apps, the current operating principle of watchOS 1.0.1 is this: all the running ends of the app are installed. On the iPhone, only the UI part is on the end of the watch. To launch an app, it will start on the iPhone first. The result of the operation will be presented to the Apple Watch via Bluetooth feedback. It is well known that the transmission speed of Bluetooth is not too satisfactory. This transfer process consumes a lot of time, so users of watchOS 1.0.1 will feel slow.

So on the WWDC, how is the newly released watchOS 2 solved? Tencent Digital has learned some information exclusively.

watchOS 2 will put the running logic on the original iPhone, that is, an extension program on the Apple Watch, which means that many programs can be run independently on the Apple Watch, so there is no need to repeat between the iPhone and Apple Watch via Bluetooth. Transferred, brings the following benefits.

The first is that the speed is improved because it eliminates the bottleneck in the speed of Bluetooth transmission. Secondly, it saves power. It is the same for iPhone and Apple Watch. It also says that because of the frequent data exchange, people who have worn Apple Watch know that driving Bluetooth all day is a comparison of power consumption for iPhone. big. The third should be able to reduce the size of the App for Apple Watch program itself, which is also important for the Apple Watch, which has little space.

At the same time, we also learned that this change is possible for Apple's native programs and third-party programs, which means that the application of the new watchOS Kit can put the core of the running logic on the Apple Watch. There is a message here that you don't realize the benefits right away, at least if the developer needs to re-adjust the running logic of the app before I can experience it. I personally estimate that it will not be seen until August.

However, we also judge that this change may also increase the pressure on the Apple Watch itself. Since the hardware configuration of the Apple Watch itself is weaker than the iPhone, it is necessary to put the running logic of the App on the Apple Watch, for the battery life and storage space. It may cause a certain amount of pressure, but this depends on the specific situation, depending on how the App was designed.

Of course, this is just one manifestation of Apple Watch's desire to be independent of the iPhone. The other is that Watch OS 2 can support WiFi direct connection. For watchOS 1.0.1 users, the only communication channel is Bluetooth. The only source of information is the iPhone, which means that when you go out for running or if you don't have a mobile phone, your Apple Watch is in a "disconnected" state. And Watch OS 2 will change that.

After allowing Apple Watch to connect directly to WiFi, if you don't have an iPhone connected, you can get information if you have a WiFi signal. For example, if you only wear Apple Watch while running, you can receive emails where you have WiFi. WeChat reminders, etc., are more assured than completely lost.

The author believes that the above two changes are by no means a small detail, but a major improvement in Apple Watch, which marks that Apple Watch is becoming independent. For the user, after upgrading Watch OS 2, it will undoubtedly find that the app runs faster. The iPhone may also save more power, and the usage scene is more. Maybe in many cases, you can be more independent from the iPhone. run. For the new thing of Apple Watch, Apple is constantly exploring and constantly developing permissions for developers, so although it is still a while from the release of the next generation Apple Watch, the watch system is getting better and better.
