Apple announced the next version of the rugged and durable Apple Watch Ultra at today’s “Surprise and shine” event.
The new model follows the Apple Watch Ultra 3, which launched last year. That watch debuted with upgrades including improved battery life, support for 5G networks on the cellular model, satellite-based messaging and emergency calling, and a slightly larger display thanks to a slimmed bezel.
At Apple’s annual WWDC conference earlier this year, the company introduced its smarter and more capable Siri AI assistant that will be coming to the newest Ultra models as part of its upcoming watchOS 27 release. The update will also include a redesigned app grid, improvements to health and fitness tracking, and battery life optimizations.
