Contents
Application Processor
This device uses the Apple S7002 (S1) processor which is based on the ARMv7k (32-bit) architecture.
Specifications
- RAM: 512 MiB
- BCM4334 Wi-Fi chip from Broadcom
- NAND size: 8 GiB; roughly 2 GB are for songs and 75 MB for photos.
- Display: Retina.
- Screen: Sapphire crystal (Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition) or Strengthened Ion-X glass (Apple Watch Sport)
- Compatibility: iOS 8.2 or later running on an iPhone 5 or newer
Operating System
The Apple Watch originally ran on a stripped-down fork of iOS 8.
The user interface is named "Carousel" (instead of Springboard), and most frameworks are replaced with "Nano" equivalents.
The last firmware supported on the original Apple Watch is watchOS 4.3.2
Variations
- Apple Watch
- Apple Watch Sport
- Apple Watch Edition
Third-party applications
Third-party applications are supported through the WatchKit API. However, in order to save battery and allow a less powerful processor, applications are "run" on the phone and streamed to the Watch over Bluetooth. iOS 8.2 (and up) comes with a dedicated "Watch" app to perform the initial pairing and download third-party "Watch apps".
Announced third-party apps include (but are not limited to):
- American Airlines (B06)
- BMW
- City Mapper (E10)
- Comedy Central (A04)
- HoneyWell (B07)
- Lutron (C07)
- Major League Baseball (C10)
- Nike+
- Pinterest (D07)
- Starwood Hotels (C02)
- Twitter (A07)
- Yahoo (D06)
