Apple Watch Series 12 hands-on: New sensing system, health features and audio intelligence
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 I did get to spend a bit more time with some Apple Watch demos, and carefully scrutinize what exactly is different on the Series 12.

With the launch of iOS 27, Apple and Siri are fighting back. There's a new name-- Siri AI --and a host of new capabilities that are coming to your iPhone.
