WATCH SOFTWARE
The Apple Watch Series 4 launches with watchOS 5 and at first glance not much has changed. However, I spent a little time with it to discover:
- Raise to launch Siri without having to say “Hey Siri”
- Podcasts can now be enjoyed while you workout with no iPhone
- Automatic workout detection
- Grouped notifications
- View web content
- Schedule do not disturb, including a location-based option
