Although its appearance hasn't changed much, however, this is one instance in which under-the-hood changes make a huge difference. The Watch can now connect to a cellular network, which fixes the most annoying thing about the older versions: that they relied so heavily on your phone. >The new Apple Watch is slightly thicker than the last version, but the difference is so minimal that you'd hardly notice. Apple executives on stage said the difference was about the same as two sheets of paper. Practically speaking, there was no noticeable change. That's admittedly impressive, given how much more Apple has stuffed into this Watch.
