Soon after making Apple Watch Series 2 available in India, the Cupertino giant has unveiled the release date of Nike+ variant as well. The Apple Watch Nike+ will be available on October 28, says the company’s India website. Apple Watch Nike+ will come in two different aluminium case sizes – 38 mm and 42 mm. While the 38mm watch is priced at Rs 32,900; the 32mm costs Rs 34,900. Both the cases cab be paired with four exclusive Nike Sport Band colour combinations including Black/Volt, Black/Cool Gray, Flat Silver/White and Flat Silver/Volt. The Apple Watch Nike+ can be purchased from Nike.com, Nike retail stores and at Apple authorised sellers.

Apple and Nike announced the Apple Watch Nike+ at Apple’s September 7 event. The watch was launched alongside Apple iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and Apple Watch Series 2. Apple Watch Series 2 features GPS, a two-times-brighter display, and water resistance 50 metres. The watch is powered by a dual-core processor and watchOS 3.

The companies are touting the Apple Watch Nike+ as the ultimate device for people who run. “Apple Watch is the ultimate device for a healthy life and we wanted to push it further to create the best smartwatch in the world for runners and athletes,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer.

Apple Watch Nike+ gets exclusive Siri commands and an iconic Nike watch face. It also comes with a deep integration with the Nike+ Run Club app. This app will help users make coaching plans that will adapt to their personal schedule and progress, with the guidance from coaches and athletes.

The device has a built-in GPS to track distance, pace and route, so that users can run without their iPhone. It features a 1000 nits, which Apple claims is the brightest display they have ever made. The watch is water resistant up to 50 metres, which makes it suitable for swimming as well.

The Nike Sport band for the watch is made of a stronger fluoroelastomer, as Apple’s original Watch Sport Band; and now features perforations for better sweat management. The Apple Watch Nike+ has two exclusive watch faces inspired by Nike’s style, and can be personalised by apps like Hear Rate, Activity Rings, Weather and Stopwatch.

While Android Nougat 7.1 is indeed an incremental update; it has a number of new features that will surely make you look forward to this. Google claims that the new version of Android comes with an improved support for the Daydream VR platform as well as background software update. That aside, there’re some carrier-centric inclusions including multi-end point calling and a new telephony configuration option. These, however, aren’t the most interesting inclusions in Android 7.1; rather the ones listed below are. So without further ado, let’s get started.

The most interesting piece of the news regarding this new update is the introduction of a feature called App Shortcuts. This essentially is a Google’s adaptation of the 3D touch feature founds on the iPhones; sans the taptic engine. It’s merely based on software wherein, long pressing a supported app brings up a pop up showing a number of shortcuts, thereby making your task easier and faster. So just in case you long pressed the Messenger app, the Android system will bring up floating shortcuts showing your top three conversations and an option to start a new conversation. That said, as per our understanding, only a handful of apps come with support for this new feature. Initially, the feature may indeed be limited to Google’s own apps. However, we can expect more app developers to support this feature by the time the 7.1 update rolls out to public.

Google’s love for circle seems to continue. After introducing the circular apps icons in their Pixel Launcher, Google has carried forward a similar design language to the stock Android. Yes, the Android Nougat 7.1 will support circular icons; but no need to worry as it will still support the current icon pack for some time now. So just in case you aren’t a fan of those circles, you can always switch back to the previous icons from the launcher settings.

Google has also included a new feature dubbed the ‘Image Keyboard Support’ in their next developer preview. This basically allows you to share GIFs, Stickers, Memes etc. directly using the Google Keyboard. Well, it goes without saying this was one of the most sought after features, and it’s quite overwhelming to see that Google has finally taken notice. In fact, the inclusion of GIF support and customizable colors will help the plain jane Google Keyboard take on some of its third party competitors like Swype, Chrooma and GIF keyboard. With the introduction of this new keyboard, apps now will tell what type of content they accept and keyboard can deliver all of the images and other content that they have to offer.

Moving on from the Pixel launcher, Google has included a feature that will let you provide metadata about live wallpapers to any picker displaying the wallpaper as a preview. This includes metadata like labels, description, author as a well as new context URL. It’ll be interesting to see how developers will make use of it on their apps

Google’s latest Android build comes with a feature that will let an app take the user directly to setting screen to clear unused files or free space on a device. That said, it’s still not clear how this new feature intends to work. Be sure to check back as we plan to update once we have more details.
