revenue in a great big number so this apple watch series four is going to be watched very closely apple head honcho temp cook made the point at the beginning of his presentation that the existing apple watch is not only the number one smart watch in the world he says it is the number one watch in the world which sounds impressive at first blush but who wears a watch anymore if i have the time on my phone that said what i found clever about this new watch is demographic it seems to be playing to folks our age baby boomers none of us are getting any younger so these health apps are conspicuous the apple watch series four is the first smart watch ever to have f d a approved a fib sensors this is big how about i've fallen and i can't get up they've got a sensor that if you don't get up soon it'll make an s.o.s. call for you and you mentioned sleep tracking before one analyst who attended the big event yesterday said well they haven't improved the battery life so let's see if the watch goes to sleep before you wake up but this wearables industry is a big deal well how big is it which i

apple scores fda approval for its watch the couch with new health tracking features and competitors flat lined. in tesla. details ahead. first, it has been a big day at the steve jobs theater in california with apple's later -- latest product announcement. there were few surprises. they are tripling down on its upgrade to the iphone x. the new models are named the xs, xr and x max. mark gurman was inside of the theater and really -- revealed many of the features before apple did. you were spot on and what were your biggest takeaways? >> and expansion of the iphone x with the three new phones. aey start with one model with new model last year -- they start with a new model and expanded to other phones. they are very android like this year. it is a little confusing but they will catch on eventually. emily: not a huge design change. what are the upgrades? >> if we step back and look at the history of the iphone, every year they have upgraded it. this must be the minimal -- most minimal upgrade from one model to another. the differences between iphone x and iphone x s are the slimmest i have

and now apple watch is being embraced by so many people around the world apple watch is not only the er one smart watch in the world, it is the number one watch, period. >> that of course tim cook talking about the apple watch series 4 jeff williams now on stage giving details about what new features come with the new version of the watch first of all, three new heart features one will alert you when your heart rate is too low. another alerts you if your heartbeat is irregular and a third, there is a new electrical heart sensor that actually can take annu ecg so three new features. the screen is larger, 44 millimeters versus 40 before it is made of ceramic and satisfy fi crystal. and it now will feel a little kick as you navigate there is a louder speaker. it is 50% louder and a new chip, the s-4 chip, 64 bit, dual core which should give it more power. also new accelerator and gira scope that will detect if you fall and if you are impossibmobile ar the fall, it will make an emergency call for you so something older people might be interested in >> did you mention price yet >> they hav

you mentioned earlier and i agree that we are finally seeing the vision of the apple watch. people originally expected this. it is a health device and a wearable computer. it is much more than a smart watch. the original vision is what people had and they are just now getting to that vision. will it dramatically increase the sales of the device? we will see. it can be thought about differently because it is a health tracking device and not just a fitness device or smart watch. it does things automatically. to me, even though mark revealed all of the specs, the one thing he was not necessarily able to do was reveal the intelligence of these devices. on the watch, you have the automatic fall recognition and making a phone call. as well as on the phone, the automatic vision of high-resolution images and the ability to do it dynamically with the neural net engine. it gave a little bit of a twist and a look forward to what we can expect to see from these companies. emily: my kids would be making a lot of phone calls. when face id came out, it did not work well. people had to get u

we don't know exactly what it will look like, but i'm a huge fan of the apple watch. i want one of these new ones, based on what he heard today. as someone who used to cover the -- pc industry, the idea of the ship in these watches is mind-boggling to me. an fda approved medical device, the first one being launched by a major company with hardware, that's a general mess -- nourmous piece of news. i paid $200 for a band that i got was nicer and they just announced the old bands will work on the new watches. all the more reason for me to get one. i know that my wife would like to inherit mine. i do think that this is a long-term winner for apple. emily: i think you will her one, david. pierre, david calls this a giant enormous announcement. this is a part of the category that has been always small apple . do you think that they can significantly grow revenue to the fact -- to the point where they will break it out as a product category? pierre: it's a very good point. i think it very clearly, the apple watch is very successful in this category. the larger selling of the

pgh he said the apple watch pgh the approval of the application of the apple watch was significant. we said were able to decouple this from the device itself. previously we have approved apps on cell phones as medical devices and we didn't regulate the host cell phone is a medical advice. but in that case it didn't have an ekg monitor built into it. here it had a piece of medical information bilton and we decouple that from the application. what were saying to the tech industry is, you can build medical functionality into your hardware and not make your whole device a medical device will just validate whether the hardware is working through the application. that's an opportunity for tech players to get in. >> and what you want to use your apple watch for? >> counting calories. >> what is your target per day? >> i think i have it set and 70. >> and how many steps? >> it seems to work because you are big tweeter. you make fun of yourself on twitter and also argue a little bit. and you definitely make fun of yourself and others. the twitter became obsessed with your skinny jeans. how d

using the watch's accelerometer and gyroscope to identify when a hard fall occurs, if apple watch senses 60 seconds after the fall, it will automatically call emergency services and send a message along with location to emergency contacts. the new series 4 watch will cost $400, the version with built in cell service is $500. this drops the cost of the series 3 to $279. shara says that's a tempting price point. sot - shara tibken - cnet.com "series 3 now good deal " in cupertino gabe slate kron 4 news (vicki) ahead at nine... we all know the bay area is an expensive place to live.... find out how football is helping local teachers afford down payments for new homes...

is screaming out that its apple watch is now the number one timepiece in the world. the new series 4 comes with bigger screens that have curved sides, faster performance and apple, i don't know, it struck me like this. they are pushing it out almost like a doctor on your wrist. it will notify you if you have an elevated heart rate, it will make an emergency in case you fall, it can call and take care of you in that regard. let's just get to the stock for our investor viewers. for the moment we do have apple moving lower, but still, its apple cap remains above $1 trillion. right now, $1.066 trillion. apple's 52-week high for the stock is $229. right now we are at $220 and change. a little drop here is not alarming in any way, shape or form but investors in the stocks of its competitors appear to be alarmed. i'm talking about the wearable space competitors. take a look at this. fitness band maker fit bit began falling and you can see it is continuing to drop pretty precipitously. fit bit down about 5.75% on trading volume of 6.5 million shares. it stands at $5.60. this

there anything you're watching to say, okay, it's all clear, we can continue >> we try to watch everything. on apple we've spoken to mr. many times a smart guy. he's given us good advice. sure, we're watching currency markets. we're watching stock markets we're watching as much as we can possibly watch i think right now one issue is the chinese stock market has had a rough time of it this year i think their economy is softening. whether you can relate that to the tariff story or not, i would just say my own personal view, something called state run television doesn't work, never has and never will i don't think the chinese particularly agree with that, but we will see. we try to keep an eye on everything, our data, their data, european data. we have terrific economic advisers the treasury is hard at it we know -- we know that it's not easy to make reforms the president believes that's the right past i happen to agree. we believe he has a mandate to do that. it's not monolithic. we just signed, congress just passed this 1,700 tariffs, we're willing to do that again, in order to level the playing fiel

we have the apple watch series 4. that starts athletes say 399, 499 with cellular. the price of the series 3 drops. here is a watch with fda approval as a medical advice device it takes an ecg. it can monitor to see if your heart rate is irregular. whether it's too slow. it can also tell through enhanced gyroscope and other capabilities whether you have fallen if you fall and then don't move for a minute it will place an automatic emergency call for you, so apple is making a portfolio approach to this also, i forgot to americans, the iphone xr. this one 749 is where it starts. it the has a 6.1-inch screen, but it's not the old l.e.d. higher quality screen, lcd apple pulled off a trick here making us feel like a 749 phone is actually cheap. that is still expensive, even by iphone standards, but the screen is larger than the xs so it is lower quality. it has one camera on the back instead of two it's quite a lineup. apple showing, again, that it's doubling down on this portfolio approach not a single phone that they are trying to get people to buy but a wide range no m

bigger iphone 10, the next thing would be the biggest upgrades to the apple watch since it was announced in 2014. and the third thing one an update on apple's wireless strategy. i'm expecting a new version of the air pod, not a big revamp to the product but a minor upfwrade. so i think those three things combined will make for a good event for investors and consumers alike. emily: how do you imagine what's going on between apple and washington and china and washington is impacting the supply chain? after this announcement it's all about getting as many phones as possible to stornse time and to consumers on time who ordered them online, and the worry is more demand than supply which there often is at the beginning. mark: we're hearing the iphone 10r device may ship after because of supply chain products related to producing the screens osm on the top thoveg trump administration and tariffs if you look at the stock market, some of apple suppliers overseas are being hit by this because they ship more production to the u.s., some of those foreign suppliers are in for big trouble because they

it might launch a new apple watch, launched in 2015, it had a slow start, apple didn't release the sales, but it seems to gain momentum, so apple hopes a new version of that could be a big hit for christmas. also we might, sally, see a couple of updated ipads based on a couple of lea ks updated ipads based on a couple of leaks out of this event already but of course we won't know for certain until they tell us for sure later on. as you say, some of the products are on. as you say, some of the products a re really on. as you say, some of the products are really expensive, but they are rumoured as well to be looking to launch a very low—cost macbook and the thinking is students, young people, those who are trying to further their education? yes, at the moment apple doesn't have a single la ptop moment apple doesn't have a single laptop model under $1000, so the problem is when you're looking at education, and students, people who are frankly not prepared to spend more than $1000 on a laptop, which is many of us, it leaves a hole in the market, and that is filled by other manufacturers, eve

remember last week, apple put a low in at 216.50. i think traders are watching that. if all of a sudden apple doesn't hold 216.50 with a hard close below it, sentiment will get a little sour on china and on tech and that could be a few little problems for the market in the next week or so until we deal with the fed that we have to figure out what they have to say. liz: todd, do you agree with that? >> yeah, i do agree with that. i also think what we heard from the president when it comes to apple, you know, i think is a blanket statement, build your things here, avoid the tariff. easier said than done. ultimately, i think apple, like many other tech companies set to do a lot of manufacturing overseas, could consider making their products here. it may be one of those 50% good, 50% bad things written into the stock. ultimately, i do think it's a good thing for apple here, some of the news with the apple watch being affected and whatnot. liz: here's the president. let's listen in. >> judge kavanaugh is one of the finest people i have ever known. he's an outstanding intell

next hot category like iphone/ipad haven't been able to point to the watch as of yet. >> i think that category is, hey, don't look at appleic yet. that category covers up a lot of things but it's driven by the watch. apple doesn't have another china to unlock with iphone sales, so i have the iphone xs max here. it's a huge screen, people are going to buy it. i think it's great and peep will like it a lot. that's not going to drive massive growth in sales. apple is going to say, hey, you bought an apple watch. now it's much harder to leave the ecosystem. hey, you love those blue bubbles in imessage, you're here forever. that means they can continue to drive up average selling price of the phone they can make sure they have steady demand for every phone model that comes out they can push phone technology at the very high end with products like this, even higher, while maintaining that new iphone xr model which pushes the price up to $750 i think that's the game that they're playing. i don't know -- you have to have an iphone to have a watch, so i think it's inherently tied to the phone until they completely break it apart.

apple also introduced a new watch, the series 4. earlier generations and it also includes a built-in heart sensor, which apple says has been approved by the fda. the sensor can detect irregular heart rates and perform an electrocardiogram. it starts at $400. that is pretty neat. >> technology is not very cheap these days. samsung just came out with their brand-new phone, the note 9, over $1,000. and now this one. >> i heard the phone, the apple watch actually can detect if you fall down. >> okay. >> if you're down for a minute or so, it will call 911. >> really? no need for that commercial where i've fallen and i can't get up. >> get the apple watch. >>> coming up, it was one of the most famous signs of defiance against president trump last year. this woman flipping off the president. trump's motorcade. so she got fired. wait until you hear what she's doing now. >>> and later in "the skinny," what cardi b is really liking a lot this morning. you're watching "world news now." >>> we're back with the very >>> we're back with the very

eagerly awaiting news on the next generation iphone, ceo tim cook has already unveiled the next apple watch with improvements for monitoring the wearer's health and safety. abc 7 news reporter matt keller is live in cupertino with details. matt? >> reporter: hi, kristen, yeah. hard-core apple fans are always excited about events like today as the employees of apple are now introducing all the latest and greatest products from the company.

emily: consumers got their hands on new iphones, new apple watches over the weekend. u've got a new piece out about how apple's coolest new feature isn't necessarily the fanciest and you talk about the new chips. why are you so excited about that? >> why am so i excited? don't know if i'm as excited as investors and analysts are about this. but this new storage capacity makes apple 241 to 247, depending on your math, dollars per phone more than the baseline 64 gigabyte model. we're seeing apple take advantage of these higher capacities. they're pushing people to higher capacity with these higher resolution cameras and screens that store higher resolution video and games that are more intense and take up much more space so people want to buy the higher capacities and the higher capacities, they cost consumers a lot of money. if you want to go from the 64 gigabyte to the 512, that's a $350 upcharge. that's a lot of money. i didn't even pay that and i use these things for work and i have to test them all. but that's a lot of money for consumers. and apple makes a big, big

[laughter] >> you said, you told me the apple watch. >> i left it home. >> apple watch is part of it.oval of the application on the apple watch was significant because what we said there was that we're able to decouple the application that provides the medical functionality from the device itself. now, previously we've approved apps on cell phones as medical devices and we didn't regulate the whole cell phone as a medical device, but in that instance the cell phone didn't have an ekg monitor in it. this is an instance where it had a piece of medical hardware built into it and we decoupled that from the approval that may have it medical functionality, we're saying to the traditional tech industry, you can bildt medical functionality into the hardware and not make the whole thing a medical device. we can regulate the part that gives it the functionality and hardware working through the application. that's an an opportunity for more traditional players to get into the space. >> and what do you like to use your apple watch for? >> counting calories. >> counting calories. >> making sure i

. >>> within the past few hours, apple released their new iphones and apple watch. nd some people waited more than two days in line to be the first to own those devices. >> nbc bay area's bob redell isn't one of them, but he is live outside the apple store in palo alto. bob, what's it like out there? must be really exciting. >> reporter: well, you definitely have a long line of people waiting for their preorders. apple hasn't said how many people have preordered the new iphones or watches, but as you can see, a long line out there. at least one person this morning has been out here since tuesday. there were about 100 people waiting outside the apple store here in palo alto when ceo tim cook personally opened the doors at 8:00 this morning. there is a steady trickle of people showing up unannounced. they're hardly having to wait to get in and make their purchase. in years' past, customers lined up for hours around the block. not the case this year. possibly due to the fact that the new iphones aren't in short supply. apple has plenty of iphone xs, and macs in stock. t

for investors, does not matter how cool the new iphone is and how good the new apple watch looks like, not as much as it matters that these products are going to sell. they are going to pay attention to the next quarterly earnings and to the earnings after the holiday, the most important season, of course. maybe some guys on the floor work live-streaming the event, but just because they are thinking of getting their mother the apple watch for christmas so she can check her pulse. christoph: looks like big tobacco is out to get us all stone. what is happening there? sophie: yeah, fascinating market not only for consumers but for investors. you don't see growth rates like that anywhere else. estimates are that the global market is going to grow at a 230% rate until 2020 to $32 billion in spendining. here in the united states, it makes sense for investors to get ready for the nationwide stimulus. nationstates are working hard on that. trump needs to find a source of income because he is cutting taxes. he is a businessman who needs to take advantage of the market. someone just told me tha

i wanted a smart watch that wanted to monitor your heart rate, the atrial fibrillation model. appleas given it to us in a watch. i love all the features of my current watch, but these health monitors become necessities. and for the elderly parts or grand parents, you're being foolish if you don't get one of these devices that we just saw yesterday. i think we should get a break on our health insurance premium it is we wear the new apple watch i think your cardiologist will insist on getting it once you reach a certain age, it's crazy not to have a device with emergency assistance capabilities, especially ones that kick in when you're unresponsive when my late father got older, it's almost useless, because if your parent falls, they're probably not going to be falling next to the device so let me put it this way, as exciting as the new iphone features are, i think you're being down right negligent if you don't get the new apple watch. and here's the big kicker. if you get the watch, you're going to get the phone that's the way it works. consider the watch as the gateway drug to the w

a lot of people who got the first generation of the apple watch wharton and toss this because they say that it needed. can those people be convinced that this is enough to have a completely different experience? >> you have to put some time into the watch to really understand what it can do for you. does take a of time and energy. not everyone has that. people are trying to disconnect from the phone and i think the watch helps you. if you are a a control freak like i am, i want to know what is going on but i don't want to get sucked into my phone. you look at one tweet and 40 minutes later you're still looking at your screen. the watch helps you with that and is a good cutting the cord but still being connected. how would you evaluate the breath of the phones that apple has now? max -- 10 actss max -- 10 s max? >> it's a stronger lineup for apple for sure. but different countries have different price points and $450 for an iphone 7 is not cheap in india. it's the first time you have tot brett from 450 -- $450 $1100. everything from a formfactor perspective as well. last year when the 1
