TwitterFacebook

If you go outside and take a stroll down the street, it’s probable that you’ll find someone wearing an Apple Watch. Maybe it’s a jogger who’s monitoring their heart rate. Maybe it’s someone on their way to work who’s making a few last-minute calls just by tapping the device on their wrist. Or maybe it’s just someone who’s simply checking the time. The Apple Watch has myriad uses, and you’d be smart to add one to your getup. 

As of right now, you can snag an Apple Watch Series 3 for an $80 discount on Amazon — it’s usually $279, but you can now pick up some smart bling for just $199. 

Don’t underestimate the Apple Watch because of its size — this thing can do quite a bit with the limited real estate it has. Out of all the features packed into this smart watch, there is one area that is a clear focus: Health. The Apple Watch monitors your overall health by means of features like tracking your heart rate and providing guided breathing exercises, along with a slew of other apps that you can choose from. It keeps tabs on your activity, like time spent sitting and walking, and makes suggestions on how you can improve your movement. It also includes workout coaching, music and podcast streaming, and the seamless ability to make phone calls.  Read more…

TwitterFacebook

Apple announcements are usually a big event, but the first of 2019 was a bit more celebrity-laden than usual. 

Jennifer Anniston, Steve Carrell, Reese Witherspoon, Jason Momoa, and even Oprah all gathered at the Steve Jobs Theatre today to promote Apple’s new upcoming streaming video subscription service, Apple TV+.

With a slew of shows slated featuring big Hollywood celebrities, Apple’s stepping into the streaming video subscription ring with current heavyweight Netflix obviously dominating headlines. But it’s Apple’s other TV-related announcement, Apple TV Channels, that’s primed to cause a more immediate shakeup in the market — and it’s Amazon that should be worried. Read more…
