Apple Announces watchOS 11 With New Health Features and Dropped Support for Older Models

The latest update brings advanced health tracking and dynamic widgets but leaves behind the Series 4, Series 5, and first-gen SE.

watchOS 11 introduces the Vitals app for comprehensive health metrics and the Translate app for on-the-go language support.
New dynamic widget stacks and enhanced GPS tracking improve usability and outdoor navigation.
The update requires an Apple Watch Series 6 or newer, paired with an iPhone running iOS 18.
Public beta for watchOS 11 will be available in July, with the official release expected in the fall.
Older models, including Series 4, Series 5, and first-gen SE, will not support the new update.
