Apple Watch to launch in Italy

(ANSA) - Rome, June 24 - Apple Watch, the latest product to emerge from Cupertino, California-based technology company Apple, goes on sale in Italy on Friday with thousands of available applications including an ANSA news app allowing wearers to read bulletins and updates in the blink of an eye. The new smartwatch is intended as an extension of another Apple product, the iPhone, which needs to be associated with the timepiece from the iPhone 5 model up. Apple Watch can be customized with over 6,000 available apps, almost twice the number available when the product was initially launched two months ago.
    The ANSA news app allows an initial choice between Italy, World, Economics, Culture and Sport with the relative headlines; the user can then read the related article or access the related multimedia content with only the lightest touch of the finger.
