#### BrightDigit Newsletter Issue #30 Hello , 🍂Happy Autumn! 🍁 Last month, Apple unveiled its brand-new Apple Watch Series 6 on September 15 with some fanfare. This was followed the next day by the release of the Watch’s latest operating system, WatchOS 7.  This is a big deal for Apple app developers – the new hardware and software offer new features that significantly raise the bar for what is possible with the Watch. Apple has given us the tools to create more sophisticated kinds of apps, both standalone for the Watch, as well as companions for iOS. By far the most important addition with WatchOS 7 is the newly enabled ability to build complications (i.e. watch face elements) using SwiftUI.

Several months back, I’d said that while the Apple Watch was good, it needed more improvements before it deserved great investment. With the exception of battery life, this new release demonstrates the maturity of the platform – it’s ready to stop being a curiosity worn only by early adopters and tech enthusiasts, and into something that most public consumers could benefit from having. The Apple Watch, in short, has arrived.
