There was a lot more new stuff than expected.
Cherlynn Low for Engadget Add Engadget on Google: Preferred Source Google Discover I wasn't expecting Apple to have a ton of interesting updates to the Apple Watch this year, but somehow it managed to surprise me. Some of the new features coming to the Apple Watch Series 12 are things the competition has already offered, like Readiness scores and increased sampling rates. But others, like the Audio Intelligence suite of tools and even the new finishes and materials, are novel. I'm also not against AI wearables that listen to your surroundings and conversations, as long as done responsibly and with accountability, so I'm intrigued by things like Siri Recap and Live Rewind.
