Apple is preparing to release watchOS 27 for its Apple Watch lineup, bringing sensor improvements and new features without requiring hardware upgrades. Bloomberg reports that the update aims to enhance performance and stability across all supported models.
Modular Ultra watch face arrives for all models with improved sensors.
The operating system will introduce a modular watch face based on 'Modular Ultra' for every Apple Watch model. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 will gain access to Apple Maps and satellite photo messaging capabilities, expanding beyond its current emergency call and text support.
New artificial intelligence features are expected with the update, though it remains unclear whether the new Siri chatbot app will also be available on Apple's smartwatch or if this feature will remain exclusive to iPhone and iPad for now.
The watchOS 27 release represents a significant software-driven enhancement for existing devices, allowing older models like the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 to benefit from improved sensor accuracy without needing new hardware purchases.
Apple has not confirmed the official launch window for watchOS 27 or specified which exact models will receive the update at this time.
