iOS 8.2 si WatchKit were launched last evening by the Apple company, they being made available to application developers with the idea of allowing them to develop applications for the future Apple Watch product. Together with the software that allows the development of applications, the American company has also published extensive documentation on how these should be developed or how we will interact with the future smartwatch. In this idea in the list below you have detailed all the ways in which we will be able to use the future Apple product, this after we interconnect it with an iPhone.
Apple Watch it will ONLY work if it is connected to an iPhone terminal, and this is because the applications are compiled on the smartphone and then sent via Bluetooth to be displayed on the smartwatch. Unfortunately, it is not yet known when Apple will allow the development of applications that can work on their own on their future smart watch, but probably by the end of the year we will have them. In conclusion, I leave you with the list detailing the modes of interaction with the Apple Watch after installing the applications, 15 different types of interactions being listed by the Apple company.
