What is up guys, Stephen Culls of Mac here, back with some great news for Apple Watch
0:03
Series 3 owners. Apple has just released Watch OS 4.1 which brings all of the features we were promised
0:08
at launch. Let's get straight into it. Ok so I've updated my Apple Watch to Watch OS 4.1 which adds a number of performance
0:18
improvements and changes including LTE streaming for Apple Music. This means Apple Watch wearers will no longer need to be tethered to an iPhone to listen
0:26
to their favourite tunes from their wrist. Watch OS 4.1 also includes a new radio app for the watch, allowing you to listen to Beats
0:33
1 radio and other stations on Apple Music. So let's test this out, I'll switch off my iPhone and disconnect WiFi from the watch
0:40
thanks to a new WiFi toggle that forces the Apple Watch to use an LTE connection
0:45
Ok so now I'm connected to cellular and if we go into the music app, we can scroll through
0:50
pretty quickly. That's even with my awful signal that I get around here and we can pair it straight to
0:55
my Beats X and start playing. Finally having this is a huge feature for the Apple Watch Series 3, it means you can
1:02
completely untether from your iPhone, whether it's just to go to the gym or if you just
1:07
don't want to take your iPhone on a date. I've been waiting for it personally from day one, although I don't listen to Beats 1 all
1:13
that often, having the workout playlists and things like that will be perfect for me at
1:17
the gym. Among the other new features, it now displays WiFi network names so you know what you're
1:21
connected to, support for Gym Kit which allows users to connect to gym exercise equipment
1:26
as well as support for the new emojis included in Unicode 10 are all also in the update
1:31
WatchOS 4.1 is available right now so go ahead and download it, just make sure you've got
1:35
50% battery and connect it up to the charger. Well that's it for this video, if you enjoyed it or found it useful, go ahead and hit that
