What you need to know about Apple’s new Series 3 watch

Apple unveiled an updated watch Apple Watch today at its Apple X event. The Apple Watch Series 3 will arrive Sept. 22 and costs $399 with cellular, $329 without. It looks similar to previous generations but has some important differences.

Here’s what you need to know:

• It has a cellular connection that can be used without an iPhone, meaning you can use it to make calls, stream Apple Music and access the internet, using your regular phone number.

Apple

• Wireless charging using AirPower
• Updates to the heart rate app will now show more information, including resting heart rate, recovery heart rate and a more detailed chart of heart rate data throughout the day. It will also alert you if it senses an unexpectedly high heart rate when you’re not active.

Apple

• Apple made some tweaks to the color lineup, including a gray version of the high-end ceramic “Edition” version, and new bands, but nothing crazy.

Apple

• Apple is the No. 1 watch brand in the world, but the company has not yet disclosed sales figures.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
