Apple just announced the Apple Watch Series 11, which looks similar to its predecessors but packs new features like 5G cellular connectivity and stronger glass.<\/p>\n
The Series 11 is the first Apple with 5G connectivity. It will also be the first Apple Watch with the ability to monitor for serious medical conditions including hypertension and chronic high blood pressure by reviewing data collected over the past 30 days. Like the AirPods Pro 3, the Watch will have live translation capabilities.<\/p>\n
A new Sleep Score feature uses metrics like how long you\u2019ve been asleep and your sleep stages to help you better understand the quality of your rest over night.<\/p>\n
Apple says the Series 11 will get \u201cup to 24 hours\u201d of battery life and will come in both recycled aluminum and titanium finishes. It also comes with IonX glass, which Apple says is twice as scratch-resistant as the previous glass, though it\u2019s not clear how it compares to sapphire watch crystals.<\/p>\n
The Apple Watch Series 11 will launch alongside watchOS 26<\/a>, the latest version of Apple\u2019s smartwatch operating system that includes new features like a wrist flick gesture that can be used to dismiss calls, notifications, and alarms, as well as take you back to your watch face. It will feature an improved Smart Stack, a Workout Buddy feature that leverages Apple Intelligence to provide personalized insights and even pep talks, and Apple\u2019s new Liquid Glass design language<\/a> that\u2019s also coming to other Apple devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple just announced the Apple Watch Series 11, which looks similar to its predecessors but packs new features…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[351,4718,356,111,43,139,69,1802,370,145,1801],"class_list":{"0":"post-12166","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-apple-event","10":"tag-gadgets","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-newzealand","14":"tag-nz","15":"tag-smartwatch","16":"tag-tech","17":"tag-technology","18":"tag-wearable"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
