Dock

Earlier, when you click the side button under the Digital Crown, it used to bring up your favorite people list. Now, it brings up the the dock. It contains a list of your favorite apps, which you have control of.

Many people like to change their watch faces, and now it's easier than ever. You can just swipe from edge to edge to switch watch faces. While you swipe through, you might see some new ones.

watchOS 3 also improves performance, now the app launch times are 7x faster than watchOS 2.

A major part of Apple Watch is fitness. Now in the activity app, you can have shared activity rings, so you can compete against your friends.
But there's more, a new app called - Breathe.

Breathe lets you breathe in and out for a minute. While doing this, you can either look at your watch or look away. If you choose to look at your watch, a flower will keep blooming and becoming small again which is the rate at which you should breathe. Else, the watch provides haptic feedback which guides you as well.

watchOS 3 is available to developers today. Download it now if your a developer.
watchOS 3 is available to everyone in the fall.

Apple has started production of iPhone SE in India. Shipping later in May.

This post is taken from 9to5Mac . In the US, the iPhone SE sells in two flavors , a 32 GB and 128 GB model for $399 and $499 respectively. Third-party Indian resellers already undercut that price point, selling iPhone SE around the $320 mark. Apple was effectively forced into setting up domestic manufacturing in order to launch Indian retail stores, as India laws state that companies wanting a retail presence must source at least 30% of their goods locally.

What's in Store? : March 15th Apple Event

March 15th? Has Apple given an invitation already? No. The rumors point to an event that will be held on March 15th. It will hold many announcements such as, a new iPhone 5Se, 3rd Generation iPad Air and new Apple Watch Bands. iPhone 5Se The iPhone 5Se or iPhone 5 Special Edition will be a 4 inch screen with an Apple A9 processor which is currently in the iPhone 6s. It will feature a design just like the iPhone 6, but in a smaller form factor. iPad Air 3 The iPad Air 3 rumors are now pointing to an Apple A9X processor, the same one that is in the iPad Pro. This is great news! The iPad Air 3 might just be a bit thicker and heavier than the old one, but the difference should not be noticed. New Apple Watch Bands An image of a black Apple Watch with a black Milanese loop was leaked on the Apple Website. The rumors point to Apple releasing/announcing this version of the Apple Watch. It looks gorgeous. Rahul
