Some media and users are already enjoying their new Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE connectivity to make and receive calls, among other things. The new watch that has this long-awaited data connectivity gives you greater freedom of movement away from an iPhone.
Apple's wearable device has been with us since 2015 and this was one of the highest demands from users. Now that it has arrived, a bug - almost certainly related to the software - is discovered that causes the watch automatically detects and connects to open WiFi networks that require prior registration, disabling the LTE connection and stopping working as it should.
The new Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE recognize WiFi networks and connect automatically without exceptions in the first tests that users and media who already enjoy this device are doing. This is the point at which Apple will have to work with automatic WiFi connections and discriminate "known or safe" from those that are not.
In principle, the clock should not allow connection to networks that require prior registration such as those offered in cafes, restaurants or even open WiFi networks that we find on the street, but it does. Automatic connection in these networks causes the Series 3 to run out of a network of any kind and therefore the first complaints run like wildfire through the network.
Apple itself announces the failure in the system in a statement and that they are working on it to fix it. Possibly with a small patch or even in the next version of the watchOS 4.1 operating system it should already be solved, but this is something that does not cloud the benefits of the new watch despite being a setback that many think they could have foreseen.
