Apple delays hypertension notification on Watch Series 12 in India pending clearances
Apple says the hypertension feature will arrive in India next year after regulatory clearances, leaving the watches’ health alert system incomplete at launch.
- On Wednesday, Apple unveiled the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, equipping both with the new S11 chip and upgraded Health Sensing System. Preorders opened immediately, with retail availability beginning September 18.
- Redesigned optical and electrical sensors power the new Health Sensing System, capturing heart rate data every five seconds rather than every five minutes. This shift enables a 0-10 readiness score analyzing activity, vitals, and sleep.
- Apple introduced 'Audio Intelligence' tools including Siri Recap and Live Rewind, which process audio within a hardware-isolated Secure Exclave. Apple emphasizes that features do not create or store audio recordings, addressing privacy concerns.
- Key software capabilities including Siri AI and the redesigned Health app arrive via watchOS 27 later this year, not at launch. Users must wait for these post-launch updates to fully access the devices' intelligent features.
- The Series 12 starts at $399 and the Ultra 4 at $799, maintaining pricing from last year despite internal upgrades. Apple is reintroducing a ceramic case option for the flagship watch, the first time since 2019.
