Introduction:

An apple watch is a small smart device that goes on your wrist, that can be used to replace your iPhone. On an apple watch you could make phone calls, play games, take pictures, send text messages and even browse the web. The first apple watch was released on April 25, 2015, with preorders available as early as April 10. When the first apple watch dropped “Series Zero” its screen was 42 millimeters wide with 8-gigabytes and it used a S-1 chip, which is drastically slow in comparison to the “Series Five” (the latest one). However, the series zero was always slow not just in comparison to the newest one. The evolution of the apple watch has been crazy, the newest one is 44 millimeters, has 32-gigabytes and uses the S-5 chip which is extremely fast. Not only has the enteral make of the apple watch changed, but so has the actual design, the series zero is bulky and looks extremely out of date. John Ive, Apple’s senior vice president of design is the man behind the invention. “I’ve has been thinking about a wearable notification device paired to a phone”
