In the midst of features such as Apple Intelligence, the big Siri/ChatGPT update, the iPad Calculator app and spacial photos on visionOS 2, watchOS 11 was a little bit lost in the noise of WWDC 2024.
The update to the operating systems for the best Apple Watches brought a number of exciting new features, such as an improved widget stack, live activities, new GPS workout profiles, AI-assistant photo collections for your watch face, improved women’s health tracking and a new Vitals app. Some good features, but it wasn’t as big a change as we saw last year, and it was jostling for space with showstoppers like the examples listed above. Consequently, watchOS 11 has been somewhat forgotten about by most pundits, who are focusing on Apple Intelligence and other AI features, and what they could mean for Apple going forward.
