Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4: Price, Specs, Release Date
Apple’s latest smartwatches—the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, get a faster chip, expanded health tracking, and new capabilities made possible by a newly enhanced Siri.
Apple has unveiled two new additions to its Apple Watch lineup: the Series 12 and the Ultra 4. Both models boast an enhanced wellness-tracking suite, featuring an upgraded health sensor with advanced LEDs that enable heart rate measurements every 5 seconds. This results in a continuous stream of health data for users throughout the day.
In conjunction with the release of the new watches, Apple will roll out watchOS 27. This update will also be accessible to existing Apple Watch owners who have compatible devices. watchOS 27 brings a host of improvements, including a revised version of the controversial Liquid Glass design and a more powerful Siri AI, powered by Apple Intelligence. The updated AI can now perform tasks within supported apps on the watch, access information online, and provide answers based on personal context.
Another notable feature of WatchOS 27 is the introduction of a dynamic app grid. This feature showcases five Siri AI-suggested apps, the Siri app itself, and a shortcut to the full app grid. Additionally, Apple has added a one-handed tap gesture that allows users to select widgets in Smart Stack, and a double-tap gesture to scroll through them. For navigating the watch face, a wrist-flick gesture can return you to the starting screen, silence timers, and dismiss notifications.
