Upgrade time — watchOS 11 will ditch support for the Apple Watch Series 4, report claims

Apple Watch Series 4 sizes.

Apple has confirmed that it intends to hold the opening keynote for the WWDC 2024 event on June 10, and that's likely when we will see a ton of new software updates previewed. Expectations are high that iOS 18 and macOS 15 will be the biggest updates of all, while visionOS 2 could also bring some interesting new features to the Apple Vision Pro. One update that isn't expected to be big in terms of additions is watchOS 11, but a new report suggests that it might drop support for an older Apple Watch regardless.

According to that report, the watchOS 11 update will be the first to drop support for the Apple Watch Series 4, leaving those who are still using those devices to either upgrade to a newer model or make do with the watchOS 10 software that they have been using since September.
