Unlike the previous models, Siri can now speak to the user anytime.
Other than this, the watch can now access the map which allows the consumer to use it as a navigation tool when traveling. However, the biggest change in the Watch series 3 is music. The new version can now stream up to 40 million songs. All these new features are made possible because of the new dual core processor Apple has booted up in the Watch. The Series 3 prices start at $329 for the non-cellular model and $399 with the cellular model.
Apple TV 4K was also introduced in the event. As the name implies, the new device can now show four times the pixels than previous models. It is also booted up with a High Dynamic Range which completely raises the quality of the pictures.
