watchOS 5 will not be compatible with the first generation Apple Watch

One of the novelties has brought us the WWDC presentation keynote that was held yesterday afternoon in Spanish time, we find it in the next version of watchOS 5, will not be compatible with the first generation Apple WatchIn this way, we can see how this device is left without official support 3 years after reaching the market.

In these three years, it is noted that technology has advanced too much, at least in wearables, which has forced Apple to dispense with the first generation model when it comes to allowing it to be updated to the next version of watchOS, version that will be number 5 and as we have seen in the keynote Apple focuses again on sports, sports and sports.

If you have had the opportunity to follow the presentation keynote, when it was the turn of watchOS, the company has been talking about all the functions it offers us when it comes to monitoring our physical activity, even Yoga, a new exercise / sport that is especially striking. In addition, with watchOS 5, we will be able to interact with the Apple Watch while the exercise application does its work.

If you were one of the users who bought a gold edition, of those that cost more than $ 15.000, you should know that even if your Apple Watch is made of gold, it will also not be able to update to the fifth version of watchOS.

I highly doubt that the models made in gold and rose gold had a lot of outlet in the market mainly due to this type of obsolescence, since spending 15.000 dollars on a watch so that after three years, it runs out of secure support that its owners do not like, no matter how much money they have, since for that money they could have bought an Omega or any other traditional terminal whose life is much higher as it does not depend on software to function.

    Well too bad from Apple. This is the most negative side of this company. When you feel like it, it leaves obsolete devices that work perfectly and that have cost a lot of time. Can't you do anything about it? What impotence.
