Apple Just Killed Your Apple Watch (For No Reason)
⌚️ Wristmate app – https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wristmate/id6775219714
Apple just announced watchOS 27 at WWDC, and it quietly drops support for a huge chunk of the Apple Watch lineup – including the Series 6, Series 7, Series 8, the beloved Apple Watch Ultra 1, and the SE 2. In this video I break down exactly which Apple Watch models are losing support, why Apple appears to be drawing the line at the four-core neural engine, and how the chips inside the Series 8, Series 9, Series 10, Series 11, Ultra 2, and Ultra 3 factor into the decision. We also dig into the Series 9 and Ultra 2 confusion, whether the new on-device Siri really needs this hardware, and why so much of watchOS 27 is really just performance improvements that any watch on watchOS 26 could use.
If you own an affected Apple Watch, don’t panic – your device will keep running watchOS 26 and stay perfectly usable for years. But if you want the latest release, now is the time to speak up. Apple has changed its mind during betas before, and I’ll show you the best ways to send feedback before the September release. I also share a quick look at the new launcher and single-tap feature, plus a serious warning about why you should NOT install the developer beta on your main watch. Drop a comment with your thoughts – should Apple bring these watches back?
