Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 Expected to Launch with Performance and Health Upgrades

Analysed 17 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·Technology
Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 Expected to Launch with Performance and Health UpgradesPreviousNext

Apple is expected to launch the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 in September alongside new iPhones. Both models may feature a faster S11 chip, enhancing performance and supporting new watchOS 27 features like AI-powered Siri. The Ultra 4 could receive more advanced health sensors, potentially improving measurement accuracy and battery efficiency. While design changes are expected to be minor, internal upgrades may be significant, especially for the Ultra 4. Battery life improvements are also anticipated, though Touch ID inclusion appears unlikely.
