  "account": "Apple has unveiled the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 with new features and improved battery life. Both models feature upgraded heart-rate sensors as part of the new Health Sensing System, which has been tested on over 1,000 participants and deemed the most accurate in a wearable. The Ultra 4 offers a significant battery-life boost, with up to 50 hours of normal use and 84 hours in Low Power Mode, compared to 42 and 72 hours respectively for the previous model. The Series 12 improves battery performance during outdoor workouts, with up to 10 hours of rated battery life, a 25% improvement over the Series 11. The new watches also introduce a Readiness score ranging from 0 to 10, which indicates a user's preparedness for different levels of training. Health Age, a feature estimated by combining metrics including VO₂ max, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability and sleep, is available on both watches and will be rolled out to older models later in the year. Audio Intelligence and Siri features have been added, allowing users to receive alerts for important sounds and create automatic recaps of conversations. The Apple Watch Ultra 4 uses Grade 5 titanium and comes in two finishes, while the Series 12 offers a variety of case materials and finishes, including new colors for the aluminum models. Watch bands have also been refreshed with new finishes. The new smartwatches launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo.",
