Get ready to be a little less annoyed by all of those Apple Watches in movie theaters. Maybe.
Apple on Monday introduced a beta version of its WatchOS 3.2 software to developers, letting them take advantage of new features Apple will eventually distribute to all Apple Watch users. Apple didn’t say when WatchOS 3.2 would be available to all users as a software update.
The biggest additions are a new „theater mode“ and the ability for third-party apps to work with the Siri digital assistant on the Apple Watch.
How to pick an Apple Watch, and why Series 1 is probably the best bet.
Theater mode has been rumored for awhile and has faced a lot of backlash. Many people have worried about fellow theater-goers texting and checking their devices more often during films. Apple’s latest software for the iPhone, though, doesn’t include such a mode. On the Apple Watch, the enhancements appear to be an effort to make the device less disruptive in a theater, not more.
