HOT SIX #3
Apple Watch Series 4
Like flat-earthers and Phantom Menace apologists, smartwatch sceptics are still out there. But anyone who’s worn one of Apple’s wearables will vouch for its subtly useful skillset, to the point that reverting to a dumb watch soon becomes very difficult indeed. The Apple Watch Series 3 laid the foundations for the product’s future by offering a cellular option that freed it from the iPhone in your pocket, and for Series 4 Apple has delivered on another important department: giving the Watch the comprehensive redesign users have been crying out for. The screen is 30% bigger, the body is thinner, and the digital crown now vibrates with haptic feedback. The speaker is also 50% louder, while the microphone has been shifted over to the right for more separation.
