Taking into account that we are at the beginning of the watchOS 7 beta versionsThere's still at least six months to go before we see the next generation of Apple Watch software in action. However, we have found this concept From watchOS 8 truth be told, we love what we could get to do. It could be a very good candidate for it to come true. Let's see what its main characteristics are.
There is still a lot to see new versions of Apple Watch software in action, but this concept of watchOS 8 must be taken into account. At the heart of it is the ability to add New applications and converting existing system components into standalone applications. In addition, each basic health function would have its own application.
A separate iPhone Health app in this watchOS 8 concept
Apple should add the health app to watchOS 8 in an effort to make the watch a more powerful and independent health device. Every existing app for measuring different health metrics would still exist, but to view historical health data or all current data in one place, you could use the new Health app. It is true that you sometimes miss being able to see certain information directly on the watch that can only be seen on the iPhone.
Astronomy and Solar Applications divided.
Two of the Apple Watch dials they work as independent applications. Besides being very pretty. However they are not very popular because they do not leave much room for complications and as a result they are not used very often.
Apple could divide them into two new individual apps. The Solar app could present an easy way to see the place of the sun throughout the day using the exact same graphic design as the Solar Graph watch face. The Astronomy app could allow you to see the current moon phase, the position of the Earth and play with the orbit of the solar system.
Widgets also have a place on the Apple Watch
Originally, on the Apple Watch we could take a quick glance at certain information. They were intended to display quick bits of important information from third-party applications. But once developers were able to build more powerful native apps and once the clock had a more powerful processor, they were no longer necessary.
Widgets have been an essential element in new versions of software for the iPhone and therefore they should be the same on the Apple Watch. The small size of the iOS 14 Widget would be appropriate. The Control Center on a single non-scrolling page and add horizontal scrolling between multiple widgets. You could even extend the iPhone Widgets to the Apple Watch in this watchOS 8 concept.
New spheres. How about Apple TV + as a sphere?
A software concept for the Apple Watch could not be missing without talking about new spheres. It is true that reading these ideas for the concept of watchOS 8, we could have a sphere with Apple TV +. The news, upcoming releases. A living sphere. But we could also choose to have the most emblematic characters of the streaming service, brightening up the day a bit.
We could see Snoopy floating around the face of your watch. To Ted Lasso with his smile. Central Park characters could sing… etc. The possibilities are endless. You could also display quotes and statements from these characters through a custom complication.
A slightly more effective application of the battery of our devices
One of the best applications available on the iPhone right now thanks to iOS 14 is that of the battery information not only of the phone itself but of your other connected devices. Why not see the same on the Apple Watch?. We could have something similar on the Apple Watch because it is truly effective, clear and useful information. In addition you could remotely enable options such as low power mode.
