Where to preorder the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4
Apple has announced the release of the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, featuring new S11 chips with enhanced audio intelligence. Preorders are currently available through major retailers, with an official launch date set for September 18th.
Why it matters
These devices represent the latest iteration of Apple's wearable technology, influencing consumer electronics trends and market pricing for smartwatches.
The iPhone Duo was the unequivocal star of Apple’s “Surprise and shine” event, but not for people who were mostly paying attention for news on wearables. Thankfully, Apple had a lot to share about its new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. There’s no update to the SE model for 2026, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing (the SE 3 rules). Also, no price changes either, which can’t be said for the entire iPhone lineup.
