Smartwatches currently are a great companion to the phone, behaving more like an extended interface.

The incoming generations of 4G supported smartwatches are set to change this.

Apple steals the limelight once again, this time with the Apple Watch. According to latest data released by Strategy Analytics, in the first quarter of 2017 Apple becomes the largest wearable vendor in the world taking over Fitbit’s top position for the first time.

A couple of days back, I came across this application which scans your face and automatically adds dynamics – it makes you look older, younger, can add or modify your smile and even show how you’d look if you were of the opposite gender.

Ever thought if your smartphone or smartwatch could save your life one day? The Apple Watch comes now featuring SOS can actually help in difficult time by sharing your medical information and getting in touch with emergency services.

What makes a good smartphone brand, a great one? Innovation? Definitely. Collaboration with big brands? Works in the longer run. A presence in non-smartphone areas? More fishing rods in the pond, right? It’s quite a given, actually: a smartphone brand cannot be great by following a singular path.
Apple launched its first Watch two years back, which didn’t really focus on fitness and tracking. Then about 6 months back it came out with Apple Watch Series 2 which added lots of new fitness related features. But is it really a Smartwatch for the fitness enthusiast niche?
The Apple Watch Series 2 launched in 2016 with new features like GPS, dual-core processor, water resistance, etc. It was a big update to make the smartwatch useful for runs, swims and independent apps. There are many expectations from the Apple Watch Series 3, especially after the new Android Wear 2 update and independent sim-compatible smartwatches.
