Apple prepares «Find My Watch» and TVKit. Apple TV with App Store in sight?

Apple TV

Apple is preparing two major updates: one for the Apple Watch and one for the Apple TV. In the case of the smart watch, it seems that the concern of people when verifying how easy it is to restore an Apple Watch even if it has a code has been answered by Apple and will add "Find my Watch" (Find My Watch), which would prevent a user who found or stole an Apple Watch from being able to pair it with their own iPhone. Another novelty has a name: TV Kit. Did someone say App Store for Apple TV?

In addition to preventing someone else from using our Apple Watch in the event of theft or loss, With Find My Watch we could know where we have lost it or, if someone has stolen it from us, where does it move. Other possibilities would be block it or delete all its content remotely. But, since the Apple Watch is heavily dependent on an iPhone, The Tim Cook-led company plans to use a new feature that would be called “Intelligent Leashing”.

With Intelligent Leashing, the watch would use its WiFi signal to establish its relative position with iPhone and, optionally, the user could be notified if we have forgotten our device (I suppose because of X separation of the devices).

Another novelty that Tim Cook wants to include in their smart watch is related to the Health and Fitness app. For example, him Apple Watch would be able to detect irregular heartbeats and notify the user of them. This would be a feature that might not see the light of day due to government regulation. They would also be considering adding a blood pressure sensor and functions to monitor sleep in the near future, as well as a blood glucose meter.

What's more, Apple is considering allowing developers to create native apps for the Apple Watch. In addition, there is a possibility that creation of extras in the dials of the smartwatch. "Compilations", as the extras are called, are the little information widgets that are displayed on some watch faces. From Cupertino they are testing one of these extras, which is related to the Twitter application. In this way, we could know at a glance how many unread mentions we have, for example.

But the news doesn't just stop at the Apple Watch. Apple TV expected to undergo a major update than the smart watch on the bitten apple. The next version of Apple's smart TV will have high integration with Siri and support for third-party applications. Additionally, developers will receive a new version of Xcode and have access to TVKit, tool to create applications for Apple TV. This makes the rumor that the new generation of Apple TV arrive with an App Store gain strength.

The prototype of the new Apple TV is rumored to be twice the size of the current model, but will see its size reduced before the official launch.
