A few weeks ago, Sony Dickson, who has leaked a lot of information about Apple in the past, advanced that iOS 10.3 would arrive with a new Theater Mode. From what it seems, in his prediction there is already at least one inaccuracy: iOS 10.3 beta 1 did not arrive on January 10, if not that it arrived on January 24. We could also talk about a second inaccuracy, that of the lack of that Mode Theater, if not for Apple posted what will come to Apple Watch next to watchOS 3.2 and it does speak of something with that exact name.
The next version of the operating system for Apple smart watches, Watch 3.2 It is not yet available for testing, but yesterday they published a website with what will come with that version, among which the Theater Mode stands out because it coincides with what Dickson advanced and because they say that it is a function that was introduced with watchOS 3.1.3 , a version available since last Monday and in which we cannot find the new / future function.
The Theater Mode of the Apple Watch will be a version of the Do Not Disturb mode
Introduced in watchOS 3.1.3, Theater Mode allows users to quickly mute the sound of the Apple Watch and prevent the screen from turning on when raising their hand. Users will still receive notifications (including physical response) while in Theater Mode, and can view them by touching the screen or pressing the Digital Crown.
Reading Apple's explanation, the name of the function and using imagination or logic, we can think that this function in countries like Spain it will be called «Cinema Mode» And it will be in theaters when the function makes sense: we will not dazzle anyone by lifting our wrist or receiving a notification and we will not miss a thing.
Cinema Mode is expected also got to the iPhone, but it is not yet known how it will be implemented in the apple phone. In fact, it is not well known how it will work on the Apple Watch either, since a new icon could appear in the Control Center that is not available in watchOS 3.1.3, the version that the Cupertino people say introduced the Theater Mode or Mode Movie theater. It is likely that the operation on the iPhone is similar to that of the Apple Watch, but it does not make sense when we consider that we watch movies with the iPhone in our pocket. It might make sense to wear it in meetings, but I'd lose it again when we remember its name.
In any case, it is already confirmed that the Theater (or Cinema) Mode will arrive on the Apple Watch with the launch of watchOS 3.2. Will we have a first beta today?
We will have to try it, but the truth looks good ...
