Simply pop in the meals you've eaten throughout the day and it will work out the calories against your daily target, calculated from your weight goal. Jan 11, 2018  Hi. Apple does not offer a companion Activity or Health app for computers or an online dashboard for Activity, Health or Workout data. Health data can be exported from the Health app on your iPhone in the form of XML files, but these are perhaps most useful when importing and exporting data between apps (a health record received as an XML file can be imported into the Health app, for example).

Apple's watchOS 6 for the Apple Watch is coming this fall.

Apple announced the new software update for its smartwatch at WWDC 2019. And needless to say, watchOS 6 is going to have a ton of new features, including new watch faces, an App Store, and new health apps.

When watchOS 6 comes out in the fall, it'll work for all Apple Watches except the first-generation (unofficially dubbed 'Series 0').

New watch faces

Everyone wants new Apple Watch faces and Apple's delivering them in watchOS 6. The company unveiled several new ones with larger digits and more visible 'complications' that take advantage of the larger screens on the Apple Watch Series 4.

One is called 'Modular Compact' which shows a smaller watch face in one corner mixed with several complications. Another watch face is called 'Gradient' and features a minimalist face that looks like a watch from straight outta the MoMa store.

One watch face will have a taptic vibration when the digital hand strikes the hour.

Apple Watch App Store

The Mac has an app store and iPhones and iPads have an app store. So why shouldn't the Apple Watch have its own app store?Â

Wonder no more because watchOS 6 will bring with it an app store for the Apple Watch. With the new App Store, Apple's making the Apple Watch even more of an independent device.Â

Currently, the only way to install Apple Watch apps is by downloading them via the Watch app on iPhone.Â

New apps: Voice Memos, Apple Books, and Calculator

The Apple Watch has a fairly robust bunch of Apple-made apps and in watchOS 6, there will be several new ones: Voice Memos, Apple Books, and a Calculator. All of them are pretty self-explanatory.Â

Voice Memos lets you record, well, voice recordings just like you would on iOS. The Apple Books app lets you listen to audio books. The Calculator app — let's just say, finally. The latter includes a tip calculation feature, which should come in handy forÂ

New health apps: Menstrual cycle tracking and Noise

If there was any doubt that Apple's transforming the Apple Watch into a do-it-all medical device, you can cast it to the side.

Apple introduced a new app coming in watchOS 6: Cycles. The Cycles app tracks menstrual cycles. Fitbit was the first to include menstrual cycle-tracking on its Fitbit Versa smartwatch in 2018 and now Apple's following suit.

Apple also announced another new Watch app called Noise, which helps users keep tabs on sound levels in their environment. The idea behind Noise is to help prevent hearing loss; your Apple Watch sends a notification if the decibel level of audio around you hits 90 decibels.

New watch bands

Yup, Apple's got a bunch of new watch bands for the Apple Watch including new colors for the Sport an Sport Loop. Additionally, there's a new Pride band with a donation made to LGBTQ organizations including 'Encircle, Gender Spectrum, GLSEN, ILGA, PFLAG, the National Center for Transgender Equality and The Trevor Project' according to Apple.

This story is developing...

An Aussie law firm is the latest practice in the world to launch a class action against Apple for intentionally slowing down old iPhones. So how can you get involved?

Apple has announced changes to its iOS operating system that bring it in line with Android as well as big changes to its computers and other products.

The technology giant made a number of new announcements during its annual Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) last month.

WWDC was held online for the first time due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ordinarily thousands of developers and technologists would make the pilgrimage to California for the company’s announcements but not this year.

The pandemic in the back of everyone’s minds was brought closer to the front during one announcement.

The Apple Watch wearable will soon receive an update so it can automatically detect when you’re washing your hands and tell you when you’re done.

The $649 Apple Watch Series 5 runs on the WatchOS software.

In a preview of WatchOS 7 health seems a primary focus, with Apple adding additional health tracking features including improved sleep tracking, hearing health, and (possibly encouraged by the success of TikTok) the ability to quantify how much fat you burn dancing.

The lack of an in-person audience that would normally ooh and aah at each new announcement is a case of unfortunate timing for Apple given they actually had some other big announcements to get the decade started.

Chief among them is the move to Apple’s own processors for its computers.

Apple has used processors from a variety of sources to power its computers in the past, including relying on Intel processors for the past 15 years.

At the 2005 WWDC it was announced the company would switch from the PowerPC processors (a collaboration between Apple, IBM and Motorola) to Intel’s, but growing dissatisfaction with recent advances in Intel’s processors is rumoured to be the reason for Apple making another switch.

Apple will still sell and deliver updates for Intel-powered Macs, but have announced that the processors will change to an Apple-produced chip beginning later this year.

“From the beginning, the Mac has always embraced big changes to stay at the forefront of personal computing,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said on what he called a “historic day for the Mac”.

Apple is hoping the past decade or so of experience building its A-series processors for iPhones, iPads and Watches will scale up to the Mac.

Along with the transition to its own silicon comes a new operating system update: macOS Big Sur.

Like updates in recent years its named after another iconic natural landmark of California, where Apple is headquartered (though not incorporated: look to US tax haven Delaware for that).

But unlike previous releases, its version number has gone from 10.15 to 11, possibly a signifier of the switch to ARM-based processors.

Apple said Big Sur is the biggest design upgrade since Mac OS X was introduced in 2001.

The new OS also has the tools developers will need to make their apps run on the different hardware, which might sound like a hassle, but also makes it easier for developers to port an app running on iPad or iPhone to Mac.

The tech industry’s recent and late obsession with “privacy” has also influenced the design of Big Sur and other apps.

Apple is introducing a new Privacy Report inspired by food nutrition labels to succinctly communicate what the apps on your devices actually do, including the types of data the apps might collect — such as usage, contact information, or location — and whether that data is shared with third parties for tracking.

Apple fans with a long memory might be excited by some of the new features in iPadOS, carrying on a legacy from the innovative but unpopular Apple Newton devices of the 90s.

The iPad and associated Apple Pencil work with the OS’s new Scribble feature to convert handwritten notes into text.

New depth-sensing features should bring more realistic augmented reality features to iPad as well.

iPad OS will also receive the “new” widgets that are coming to iOS but have been on competing Android smartphones for years, as well as improvements to Messages, Maps, Siri and other apps.
