Apple Stores Invite Wheelchair Users to Try WatchOS 3 Monitoring

Watch 3

In the last keynote, Apple showed us all the news that will arrive in the month of September when the Cupertino-based company release the final versions of macOS Sierra, iOS 10, watchOS 3 and tvOS 10. One of the novelties that has not been talked about much is related to the new activity that allows monitoring the activity of people who go in a wheelchair.

To try to understand and further refine its operation, the Cupertino-based company You have invited a group of wheelchair users to several Apple Stores to test the third version of the operating system for the Apple Watch, which is currently in beta. 

At the Developer Conference, Health & Fitness Apps Director Jay Blahnik said the company had made great strides toward integrate the activity monitoring of wheelchair users in the third version of watchOS. It also includes two different routine programs, as well as notifications to rest a while or move because we have been in the same position for a long time. This function is very similar to what we can find in the Apple Watch when we have been sitting for a long time without getting up to stretch our legs.

In the past, the company has allowed its store workers to access beta teeth for iOS and OS X only, reserving only watchOS for developers, Due to the restrictions when it comes to downgrading the device, something that developers cannot do directly, but rather have to go to an Apple Store to have it done there.
