The wait is over, and we finally know which watchOS 5 features were just rumors and which features we can look forward to enjoying later this year. Apple spent far more time highlighting the features of iOS 12 and mac OS Mojave than it did showing off the upcoming watchOS 5 update during the WWDC 2018 Keynote on June 4. Even so, there are enough cool new features to make most Apple Watch fans happy. And there are a lot of fans; Apple Watch adoption also grew by a whopping 60 percent in the last year, likely thanks to the introduction of a cellular model. Here's everything you need to know about the next iteration of watchOS, from the watchOS 5 release date, to which Apple Watch models will be able to run watchOS 5, and which features you should be most excited about.

The Worldwide Developer Conference is only just beginning, but Apple’s annual summer keynote has concluded. We’ll take a look at everything Apple announced at its 2018 WWDC keynote; and this year, it’s all software. As expected, iOS 12 focuses on stability and performance; but Apple made quite a few other surprise announcements regarding the new iOS. During the keynote, Apple also announced its new watchOS 5, tvOS 12, and macOS Mojave. We’ll look at all the new features of the software below. Everything Apple announced will be arriving later this fall, but you can learn more about all the new things to look forward to below.

Apple unveiled iOS 12 today at the WWDC 2018 Keynote, and we can expect exciting improvements and features when the iOS update is released in the fall.

Let's go over which devices are compatible with iOS 12, discuss all the new iOS features, and learn how to sign up for the Apple Beta Software Program to try out iOS 12 before the official release date.
