Apple watch is still a few
months away, and the developers have already started developing apps
for the wrist. Let's see what the app developers are planning.
On Tuesday, Apple unveiled
the software toolkit of Apple watch for developers, it helps
developers to create some innovative Apple watch apps similar to
those of mobile but for a different platform, such as vibrations and
on-screen notifications.
The alert notifications
can be responded directly from the watch, without using your iPhone.
The CEO of Instagram, Kevin Systrom says that the alert messages such
as liking a picture or commenting can be done directly from the watch.
There are even Glances,
which are another type of notification that flashes the screen, quite
similar to breaking news or an appointment reminder. American
Airlines (AAL) will provide such Glances for flight timings and other
updates.
Yet developers are unable
to create apps that can be exclusively used by the watch, but Apple
says that can be possible later in 2015. The watch is more often to
be launched in early 2015, so there will be a plenty of time for the
device to run on Apple apps.
The Incredible Apple Watch
Apple also revealed some
of its own apps for the watch at the time of its launch, which
includes a new messaging app that allows a user to communicate with
the doodles, vibrations and your heartbeat.
