What to Expect From Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 - MacRumors
Apple is expected to release the Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 with only minor performance updates rather than significant design changes. Rumors regarding new health sensors and Touch ID integration remain largely unconfirmed or unlikely for this cycle.
Why it matters
As a major consumer electronics leader, Apple's product roadmap influences industry-wide trends in wearable technology and health tracking.
Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman today outlined what to expect from the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 this year. Spoiler: not very much.
While it was rumored that Touch ID may be coming to the Apple Watch Series 12 , Gurman said he does not expect the Series 12 or Ultra 4 to have any major design changes compared to the current Series 11 and Ultra 3 models. Touch ID probably counts as a major design change, so the rumor now sounds increasingly unlikely.
Another sketchy rumor claimed that the Series 12 will have a band with an embedded health sensor , but Gurman did not mention that.
