Apple updates the Series 12 and Ultra 4 with new sensors and S11 chip

Apple has updated its wearable lineup with the release of the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4. Both models feature the new S11 chip, which provides the first performance improvement since the Series 9, including a doubling of RAM to 4GB. The devices incorporate a redesigned health sensing system with a new optical heart rate sensor that tracks heart rate 60 times more frequently than the Series 11. New software features include Siri Recap, live rewind for conversations, and instant music detection via Shazam. The Series 12 is available in aluminum, titanium, and ceramic finishes, with the ceramic model being the heaviest and thickest option. The Ultra 4 maintains a similar design to its predecessor but is slightly heavier to accommodate a larger battery, which now offers 50 hours of total battery life. The Ultra 4 also features exclusive capabilities such as satellite connectivity, a customizable action button, and a louder speaker for emergency situations. Both watches are available for order now.
