It's the feature that everyone's dad has been waiting for.

At today's WWDC in San Jose, California, Apple unveiled the latest update for its eponymous watch. Specifically, it now has a tip calculator. And you'd better bet the crowd went wild.

The update, which allows you to figure out how to split a restaurant tip among friends, was demonstrated on screen to raucous applause. Shortly thereafter, the company showed off a "decibel monitoring" for watchOS so you can know exactly when to tell those pesky teenagers to turn their music down.

Which, credit to Apple for finally admitting that the Apple Watch is fundamentally a dad product. Only by being true to ourselves can reach our fullest potential.

Now excuse me while I go make sure my friend doesn't short me on his $3.73 portion of the lunch tip.
