Apple announces new software for its devices once a year, at the World Wide Developers Conference. That took place on Monday, June 10 and it confirmed precisely the reports that had leaked ahead of time. But while there were many new features announced, all of them newsworthy, there was also a sting in the tail for some Watch users: the number of Apple Watches to lose support for the next OS is more than it has ever been: three Watches won’t get the benefits of watchOS 11.
Then there’s the one that I’m most looking forward to: Translate. I already use it on the iPhone but it will be more convenient on the Watch. As Apple says, “Users can access translation for one of 20 supported languages directly on their wrist. With the new intelligence of the Smart Stack, Apple Watch can automatically offer a suggested Translate app widget when users are traveling to a location with a language that is different from their Apple Watch.
And there are plenty of new features coming to watchOS 11, such as the capability to pause your Activity Rings, to avoid annihilating your long-built-up streak because you need a day off, for instance. There are also new insights into your workouts with Training Load. That’s a lot of Watches to lose from the list at one go, right? But on closer examination, it’s not quite as surprising as it sounds. Series 4 was powered by the S4 chip while Series 5 includes the S5 chip. But while they are different, both have the same processor at their heart, so performance is deemed to be similar. And the first-generation Apple Watch SE uses the same S5 chip, too.
