Apple Watch 11 will feature a new chip and enhanced health functions
Apple is preparing to launch the new Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 in September, featuring minor design updates but focusing on enhanced fitness features and a new processor. More significant upgrades and innovations in health monitoring are expected in future models.
Crius
Apple plans to unveil new Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 models in September, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro (Max) and iPhone Ultra. According to recent reports, both watch models will see only minor design changes, which contrasts with earlier expectations of major updates, especially for the Apple Watch Ultra 4.
Main Changes and New Features
Instead of significant exterior redesigns, the company will focus on introducing new features related to fitness and health. A new processor for the smartwatches is also expected—the first since the launch of the Apple Watch Series 9. This new chip should improve device performance, but it remains unclear whether it will extend the battery life of standard Apple Watch models beyond a single day.
Future Update Prospects
More substantial changes are planned for next year. The Apple Watch Series 13 is expected to feature a completely new design and an energy-efficient HMO-OLED display.
Health Monitoring Features
Among the most anticipated innovations is the possibility of continuous blood glucose monitoring without the need for needles or frequent sensor replacements, similar to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems. According to available information, the first Apple Watch models with a blood sugar sensor could appear on the market within this decade, but the timeline for this technology is still uncertain—it could happen as soon as next year or closer to 2029. It is also unclear whether the watch will provide precise readings or simply alert users to high or low levels, as is currently done with the high blood pressure detection feature.
