Meet WatchOS 3, the proposed solution to most Apple Watch problems

The Apple Watch's biggest problems are its apps, namely the time it takes for them to load, and the limited features developers are allowed to bake in. Apple is fixing these issues with a major overhaul to WatchOS, coming this fall as a free upgrade for all Apple Watch owners this fall.

During the Worldwide Developers Conference keynote today, Apple previewed a slew of new features coming to WatchOS 3. Here are the major changes that will breathe new life into your Apple Watch.

First things first: Faster apps

Every Apple Watch owner knows the struggle of launching apps. By the time the app opens, you've given up and turned to your iPhone for help. Apple Watch apps will launch instantly in WatchOS 3, and not just Apple's native apps -- third-party ones, too. Your favorite apps will be kept in the watch's memory and update automatically in the background, so you always see the most up-to-date information without having to stare at the spinning wheel of death. Apple's technology VP Kevin Lynch said apps will launch seven times faster in WatchOS 3 than WatchOS 2.
