Tim Cook,the CEO of Apple,showed off their newest device,the Apple Watch.Mr.Cook said it is the"most personal"device Apple has ever c(81)reated.
The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist(手腕).There will be three models with straps to attach them to your wrist.An Apple Watch will be able to do many of the s(82)ame things as an iPhone.It will show email,texts,news,health readings and other information.These apps will be customized for the watch.It will be different than just seeing what is on your phone.
Like a phone,you will be able to r(83)eceive calls on your wrist.Mr.Cook smiled while describing this.‘I've been wanting to do this since I was five years old,'he said.‘The day is finally here."Decades ago,a comic strip hero named Dick Tracy talked into his wrist watch,but until now,that has only been something possible in the future.
Mr.Cook said you could capture and send your heartbeat to another person with an Apple Watch.‘This is a closer w(84)ayto tell someone that you are thinking about them,'he said.‘I hope someone sends me one of those.'
The watches will be a(85)vailable in stores in late April.They will be sold at different prices,beginning at﹩349to its high-end model of thousands of dollars.Apple hopes to excite consumers so they will want to buy and wear computers on their bodies.The first smartwatches from Samsung,Sony and LG have not been selling well.O(86)nlyfive million smartwatches were sold last year.Another wearable computer,Google Glass eyewear,is no longer on the market.Like a phone,it will also need to be charged each night.It remains to be seen w(87)hetherpeople really want to carry both a smartphone and a smartwatch.
