Apple Watch specs





The Apple Watch comes in two sizes, three collections, and with over a dozen different band styles to choose from.


The first new product category Apple has introduced since the 2010 iPad, and the first new device interface since the 2007 iPhone, the Apple Watch is also Apple's first post-iPod wearable, the first running a variation of iOS, and the first connected — through an iPhone 5 or iPhone 6 – to iCloud. It will run WatchKit apps and extensions, and be available for purchase starting April 24, 2015. Here are your complete Apple Watch specs.
