Apple today announced the final details about the Apple Watch at a special media event held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Performing Arts in San Francisco, California. Pre-orders for all three Apple Watch collections will open on April 10, 2015 and will begin shipping on April 24. The Apple Watch Sport will retail for $349 for the 39mm model and $399 for the 42mm. The standard Apple Watch model will start at $549 and the gold Edition model will start at $10,000.
Apple CEO Tim Cook also announced that the watch will have an “all day battery life," "Hey, Siri" support and that iOS 8.2 will be available today. Cook said Apple Watch users can "expect 18 hours" of battery life from their watch during a "typical day". The "Hey, Siri" feature on the Apple Watch will also only work when you raise your wrist to preserve battery power.
Apple has added sections for all three Apple Watch collections to the Apple Store.
