    WWDC 2019: New features coming to Apple Watch

    Apple is now talking about the Apple Watch, introducing a new gradient face, digital face, and more. There's also taptic chimes, so you'll hear a sound at the hour. Apple says new apps for voice memos, calculator and audiobooks are coming too, as will tip calculator and split-the-bill features. 

    More importantly, however, Apple is making it possible to run an independent app on the watch -- no need for an iPhone app. To complement this, Apple is launching a new App Store for Apple Watch.

    There will be apps curated by an app store team, and you can also ask Siri for help finding new apps to purchase and install on your watch.

    WWDC 2019: WatchOS 6 brings women's health features

    The ability to stream content without a phone is cool, but we personally love the new ability to track menstrual cycles. It's a simple way to monitor cycles and get Fertile Window predictions. This will be available in the Health App in iOS, so you won't need an Apple Watch to use it either.

It's announced Dark Mode that, like the mode already available on MacOS, transforms the visual appearance so that your iOS device will, well, appear darker.  With a black background instead of the usual white, supported apps will also swap their light backgrounds for black, and their text is reversed, too.

    The new iOS will also bring with it a SwiftKey-style keyboard swiping feature.

    WWDC 2019: Securely log-in with Apple

    Apple is now talking about app logins. It notes Facebook and Google logins can be used to track you. It has an alternative option: Sign in with Apple. Apple says it is a "Fast, easy sign in... without tracking." You get authenticated with your device, and you're logged in with a new account without revealing personal location.

    Some apps may ask for your email, so Apple will let you create a random address that forward to your real email. Each app gets a unique random address. "This experience is meant to let you have control over your data," Apple says.
