Over five years, we’ve seen Apple enhance the Apple Watch in every conceivable way…
Key fact
The move to an always-on Apple Watch required a whole new kind of display: LTPO. It’s a kind of OLED display that can adjust its refresh rate, which is how frequently the screen updates: in low-power mode it updates once per second compared to up to 60 times a second when you’re using apps. That makes a massive difference to the display’s power consumption.
The Apple Watch has come a very long way in a very short time. It’s just five years old, and in that time we’ve seen Apple enhance it in every conceivable way: better battery life, an always-on display, 4G connectivity, apps that run without a connected iPhone and most importantly of all, a whole bunch of sensors to provide useful insights into your health and fitness.
As the Apple Watch has evolved, it’s delivered a masterclass in miniaturisation: the Series 6 may look much like the first generation, but what’s inside is much more advanced and much more useful.
