Rumors indicate Apple Watch Ultra 4 <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/18\/apple-watch-ultra-4-getting-two-major-new-upgrades-per-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">may add a lot of new health sensors<\/a>, so it\u2019s possible Apple has even more feature improvements coming for new hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/18\/apple-watch-could-soon-gain-new-high-blood-pressure-feature\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent Digitimes report<\/a> said that a new high blood pressure notification feature is currently under review by the FDA. This is almost certainly a new feature coming in watchOS 27.<\/p>\n<p>#2: New Modular Ultra-inspired watch face<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/modular-ultra-face-apple-watch-ultra-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1024489\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>New versions of watchOS consistently bring users new Apple Watch faces. And rumors indicate that in watchOS 27, one of those faces will be \u201ca simplified take on the Modular Ultra design.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/22\/watchos-27s-rumored-new-apple-watch-face-has-me-very-intrigued\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Gurman, writing at Bloomberg<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>It has the same large clock as the Ultra face but removes the option for a big complication in the center, the row of three smaller complications above the time and information placed around the bezel. The result is a large clock that fills the top two-thirds of the display, with a row of three smaller complications beneath it. The move appears aimed at bringing a version of the Modular Ultra experience to standard Series watches<\/p>\n<p>Modular Ultra is my favorite watch face Apple makes, and I\u2019ve long wished it was available on Series models, not just the Apple Watch Ultra. I\u2019m curious to see how this new face turns out.<\/p>\n<p>#3: Siri improvements<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/siri-icon-expanded.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1037989\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/04\/01\/ios-27s-new-siri-is-coming-and-sounds-very-much-worth-the-wait\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"1046244\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new and improved Siri<\/a> will shine brightest in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. That\u2019s because those platforms will have the full chatbot-style experience. <\/p>\n<p>But the new Siri is expected to still benefit Apple Watch users in watchOS 27 too.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no word on whether watchOS will have a standalone Siri app like on iPhone. But what seems more important is Siri being able to answer more complex requests, and overall be more reliable than it is currently.<\/p>\n<p>New watchOS 27 features: wrap-up<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the three features above, not much is known about watchOS 27. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/24\/apple-improving-heart-rate-tracking-in-watchos-27-mulberry-health-coach-delays\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Per Bloomberg<\/a> it will \u201cfocus largely on stability, performance and smaller refinements.\u201d But there are sure to be a variety of surprises still awaiting us next week during Apple\u2019s WWDC unveiling.<\/p>\n<p>What new Apple Watch features do you want to see in watchOS 27?
