Apple Watch: New model finally brings screen that will never turn off and other features

Apple has revealed a new Watch, which includes a display that will never turn off.

Until now, users had to dramatically whip their hand up, or tap the display, to make the screen turn on. That meant that the Watch did not show the time, most of the time.

Now it will be always-on, letting people see the time whenever they want.

The Watch will still have a battery that will last all day, Apple said. Using new screen technology, it will be able to last just as long as the existing model.

As well as the new display, it will have a compass and new features that will allow it to call the emergency services wherever it is, Apple said.

The GPS model of the Watch will cost $399, Apple said, and the cellular version will cost $499. Orders open today and will be available in shops from 20 September.

Apple will also keep the older Watch around, selling it for $199.

Apple also introduced new looks for the Watch, including a titanium model.

"It's changed industries and led to the creation of entirely new ones," Cook says.

He's bragging about the iPhone XS having 99 per cent customer satisfaction.

Every time he says XS (Ten 'S'), all I can think of is this.

It's bringing slow-mo capabilities to its front facing cameras.

Welcome to a new era of selfie narcissism.

Apple is calling them "Slowfies". Yuck.

On to performance and the iPhone 11 will feature an A13 Bionic chip. 

Yang Yang from Giant Network is on stage to showcase a new game that is powered by this powerful new chip.

Looks like he's having fun.
