The watch is approaching its 10th birthday, and Apple is planning a revamp to make the device thinner but with larger displays, Bloomberg reported.

The Apple Watch is reportedly getting a birthday makeover

One thing always irked me about the Apple Watch. Rain or shine, in sickness and in health, it pushed me to close my rings. Never mind if I had covid-19, shin splints, or was mentally in a dark place. It nudged me to be a “better” version of myself, so long as better didn’t involve a day off. But with watchOS 11 — the public beta of which arrives today — it feels like my Apple Watch is finally cutting me some slack.

The watchOS 11 beta slowed me down, in a good way

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

If you don’t have an Apple Developer Account and have been eager to try out iOS 18 on your iPhone, rejoice! Apple has finally released the first public beta for iOS 18. The public betas are typically a bit more stable than the developer betas, which is a reason why some people hold off until the public beta.

Testing the beta of Apple’s watchOS 11 operating system gave me an excuse to look at lots of pictures of my cats, so I’d say it’s off to a good start. First announced at WWDC in June, watchOS 11 delivers personalized watch faces that can incorporate photos of your loved ones, a training load feature that gauges the effort of your workouts over time, customizable activity rings that let you pause goals without breaking your streaks, a refreshed vitals app, expanded controls with the double-tap gesture, and more.

Ultimately the reaction to 18’s initial public beta may be more about what’s not there than what is. When Apple first announced its latest annual update to the mobile software platform back in June, most of the attention went to a suite of features—the top-billed ones if you look at the company’s iOS 18 Preview Page—collected under the aegis of Apple Intelligence. These marked the company’s much anticipated foray into artificial intelligence and promise everything from image generation to a reinvigorated Siri.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra follows in the Apple Watch Ultra's footsteps. It looks different with its circular display, but nearly all of its upgrades are inspired by (or copied directly from) Apple's flagship watch. And I don't mind this! Instead, I'm frustrated that Samsung didn't "borrow" the controls from other flagship watches like Apple's or Garmin's.
