Despite the global context, this 2020 has been a busy year for Apple. And not even on the last days of the year, company news fades away. So, interesting information emerged about the expected Apple car or the foldable iPhone, and other information gave way to nostalgia.
Thanks to an image shared on the Twitter account @AppleDemoYT, a strange prototype of Apple Watch has become known, generating opinions of all kinds, but especially those that coincide in the record of the device by not being destroyed and by maintaining internal software and fully operational development configurations
Another way to see the Apple Watch
As can be seen in the pictures, the first material is surrounded by a security case which disguises the device from the obvious appearance of a watch. he the material is pre-Digital Crown with only two buttons on the left side and what looks like a home button built into the case.
The Apple Watch Prototype with Security Case runs an internal Pre-WatchOS 1.0 version, complete with internal test apps and development settings. It is extremely amazing that something like this can still exist; without having been destroyed. #appleinternal

My favorite UI development test screen on the Apple Watch prototype. The “Springboard zoom” application (located in Lisa Tester) shows an interactive representation of the home screen. #appleinternal pic.twitter.com/qF7Ge9qd8D

The software you are running is older than watchOS 1.0 and Apple Demo demonstrates that the internal version works with a variety of photos showing the user interface and more. Reference to the Apple Lisa computer from the 1980s, same Lisa Simpson was used as an app icon in the Apple Watch prototype for the “Lisa Tester”.
This is also where the “Springboard zoom” application resides, which includes an interactive experience of what the watchOS home screen would look like.
