The watch’s screen now goes nearly edge to edge, thanks to a larger display with rounded edges. There are also two new sizes, 40mm and 44mm, and the larger display, which is 30 per cent bigger, lets the watchOS 5 show more information through Apple’s built-in app complications. Apple is also overhauling the hardware inside its Apple Watch, including a new built-in EKG scanner. Additionally, Apple is using a new dual-core 64-bit S4 processor, custom designed by the company’s silicon team to improve performance. Available at leading retailers.
