What's more, you can tell these devices what to do through Siri. Imagine having a house chock-full of connected devices (like a light bulb or smoke alarm) from multiple manufacturers (like Honeywell or Philips), but they can sync and understand each other. HomeKit also leverages Siri, Apple's intelligent voice assistance, letting you control these connected devices with just your voice. It essentially created a common language that connected devices from any manufacturer can recognise and support, thus allowing them to work together and communicate via a single platform. But that's not all: Apple Watch can playback from iTunes Match, and if your iPhone is streaming to AirPlay-enabled speakers, it can control audio playing from them too.Īpple developed the HomeKit framework so it could simplify the current state of home automation.

Most people know that Apple Watch can locally store up to 2GB worth of music files and audio, but many people don't know that Apple Watch can also control the music locally stored on their iPhone. Kim Kardashian West, for instance, won't have to continue blocking half of her face with an iPhone in selfies, because now she'll be able to put it down and snap from her wrist. We can see this type of functionality revolutionising the type of selfies you're used to seeing on Instagram.
