Apple Watch Series 4: price, release date, and specs

Apple

Apple on Wednesday introduced a brand-new version of its
best-selling smartwatch: the Apple Watch Series 4.

The new watch — which Apple announced on stage at its annual
iPhone event in Cupertino, California — is an update to last
year’s version, the Apple Watch Series 3. 

The new watch has new features like the ability to measure your
heart rate with an electrocardiogram, and a hardware redesign
that gives it a larger display.

The Apple Watch Series 4 will come in two versions — aluminum and
stainless steel — and will come in gold, silver, and space gray.
The watch will start at $399. 

Here’s a rundown of the specs:

• A nearly edge-to-edge display — the screen is now 30% larger
  than previous versions. 
• New watch faces, including one with up to eight customizable
  complications, or special features
• The digital crown now has haptic feedback 
• The speaker is 50% louder, which means it’s better for making
  phone calls and using Siri
• The back is now made from ceramic and crystal, which means
  radio waves can pass through the front and back for better
  cellular reception 
• A new S4 chip
• A faster, 64-bit processor 
• A new accelerometer and gyroscope that let the watch detect
  falls
• New heart rate tracking, including a new low heart rate
  notification and atrial fibrillation detection
• Built-in sensors that let you take an electrocardiogram, or
  ECG. Apple says it has received clearance from the FDA for its
  heart rate tracking features
• Like the Apple Watch Series 3, it will be swimproof and have
  built-in GPS
• 18 hours of battery life
• It will run WatchOS 5, Apple’s new smartwatch operating
  system

The Apple Watch Series 4 will go on sale on September 14 and will
be available September 21. Watch OS 5 will be available on
September 17.
