May. 1, 2023watchOS 10 to Be Focused on Widgets!
watchOS 4’sSiri watch face(see below) is also the inspiration. Plus, it will be akin to widget stacks that allow users to pile up widgets in iOS and iPadOS. Currently, the Apple Watch interface is focused on apps with the ability to launch them with a single tap on the digital crown.
Gurman also suggests that Apple might be working ona new physical button functionality. So while the current function is to access the home screen apps, watchOS 10 could make this available to open widgets. Again, a move to put focus on widgets.
While the new widget-based UI sounds exciting, acceptance could be subjective and it would be interesting to see how this makes the usage easier. Since it could have polarizing thoughts, this UI changecould first be optionalas per Gurman. It is also highlighted that this year’s Apple Watch models (allegedly called the Apple Watch Series 9) could be incremental upgrades and might be similar to the Apple Watch Series 8.
Started off as a stranger but tech is more like a good friend, thanks to over 5 years in the industry. While everything is attractive about tech, phones, social media, and quirky gadgets attract me the most. When not working, I find my solace in shopping and everything that concerns doggos!
