About

A channel that knows what it is all about and doesn't try to hide the fact that it is run by an Apple Fan boy. This channel is dedicated to helping you learn everything about Apple, with new product reviews and tips and trick on how you can get the most out of your Apple Tech. I've been a dedicated Mac user for the last 19 years from my first iBook to building a Hackintosh at my work so I didn't have to use a PC everyday. If you are or want to be an Apple Fan Boy/Girl this is the place for you.

Video Description

watchOS 26 is here for Apple Watch Series 6 and newer (including SE 2 and Ultra). In this video I walk through the real changes you’ll actually use: the new “liquid glass” look, a more capable Control Center (water lock changes, shortcut actions, and third-party support coming), a redesigned Workouts app, Workout Buddy (requires an iPhone 15 Pro or newer), and the new Sleep Score. I also cover the new watch faces (Flow and Exactograph, plus a small Photos face tweak), and the five faces Apple removed: Fire & Water, Gradient, Liquid Metal, Toy Story, and Vapor. If you’re deciding whether to install watchOS 26 today, this breakdown shows what’s improved, what’s different, and what’s gone—especially for Apple Watch Ultra users who’ll love the compass-forward face options, dial widget placement, and night mode controls. 0:00 watchOS 26 is Out! 0:38 New “liquid glass” look on the lock screen 2:19 Control Center upgrades 4:53 Workouts app redesign 6:24 Workout Buddy explained 9:20 Sleep Score on Apple Watch 11:24 Sounds & Haptics changes 15:17 Quick Actions / Apple Intelligence tie-ins 17:39 App icons & views tweaks 18:05 New watch face categories 19:26 New Watch Faces Flow & Exactograph 23:18 Ultra face deep-dive: compass, dial, night mode 26:15 Removed watch faces (5 gone) =================================================== My Equipment Main Camera: Sony ZV-E10 - https://geni.us/HAVd7G Secondary: Sony ZV-1 - https://geni.us/vOXMtHx Third: iPhone 16 Pro - https://geni.us/7tUTB0 Fourth: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 - https://geni.us/7mRy Lights: https://geni.us/fvBUh DJI Mic Mini: https://geni.us/IYr9ABI Deity Microphone V-Mic D4: https://geni.us/hE4lC All In One Mounting Pole: https://geni.us/7iUBll My Desk Setup Computer: https://geni.us/ATXgxA Monitor: https://geni.us/FXhVA Desk Mic: https://geni.us/KcBXVF Clock: https://geni.us/HtZT 3D Printer: https://geni.us/ZCpYtW iPad: https://geni.us/wUBBSV Speakers: https://geni.us/GsXU Follow me elsewhere: https://www.instagram.com/theapplebias/ Visit my site: http://www.applebias.com * Most of the links above are affiliate links.
