Apple’s watchOS 11 update is a big one. Will your Apple Watch get all of the new features? Here’s what you need to know.
It’s time to update your Apple Watch, because a new version of watchOS is here. Snappily named watchOS 11, Apple’s newest wearable operating system may not have the Apple Intelligence it’s pushing for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, but it does have plenty of fitness-tracking enhancements, new live widgets, and smarter delivery of health stats through the new Vitals app. Before today, you would have had to sign up to a (somewhat) risky beta to try out these new features — but that’s no longer the case. No, now watchOS 11 has hit its full public release, and it is a thing of beauty.
But that doesn’t matter if you’re not sure if your Apple Watch will be getting the update or not. After all, while every piece of technology is new once, there comes a time when even the shiniest of silicon is sent out to the pastures to enjoy retirement. So, will your Apple Watch be getting watchOS 11 or not? Find out here.Which Apple Watch models support watchOS 11?
The watchOS 11 update requires advanced hardware, which is why Apple is limiting the update to the Apple Watch models with the computational capacity to run the new features.
