watchOS 12 wishlist — 3 Apple Watch upgrades I want most

We're roughly two months out from Apple's annual WWDC 2025 event, which means fresh Apple Watch features are basically right around the corner.
Every year, Cupertino uses this early summer affair to show off all the new software-related bells and whistles coming to not just Apple Watch, but Mac, iPad, iPhone and more via future OS updates.
Last year's debut of watchOS 11 gave hiking and outdoors enthusiasts (like myself) several handy new ways to interact with their wrist-based wearable. These include the Check In safety tool — which is especially valuable for solo outings — and a new Training Load metric to help users maximize their efforts and minimize injury.
watchOS 11 also delivered nifty new features for ocean lovers and world travelers, along with streamlined health data and trend reports via the new Vitals app. What's in store this time around? Here's what we know so far about watchOS 12.
Of course, many of the details about Apple's forthcoming software are unknown. With that in mind, here are the three watchOS 12 upgrades I'm hoping for most and an avid Apple Watch-wearing outdoorsy individual.
Apple isn't the only smartwatch brand guilty of obfuscating step count totals for individual workouts including walks, hikes and runs. While the device provides a total step count tally for the day, you'll need a third-party app (the StepsApp is a TG favorite) to uncover how many paces you took during your 30-minute errand-running lunch break or that weekend hike with the family.
This also means that you'll need to simultaneously run the step-counting app in the background in addition to tracking your efforts with Apple's Workout app, which is not exactly ideal.
Ultimately, if Apple is already monitoring my daily step count total, how hard could it be to parse separate tallies for step-based workouts? Brands like Samsung and Google already do this and Apple is aught to join them.
I'm hoping watchOS 12 includes the long-overdue addition of a daily energy score and sleep score. Many of the best smartwatch models from Garmin, Google, Samsung and even Amazfit provide such metrics.
On the subject of matching competitor features, I'm hoping watchOS 12 includes the long-overdue addition of a daily energy score and sleep score. Many of the best smartwatch models from Garmin, Google, Samsung and even Amazfit provide such metrics (though naming varies) on a scale from one to 100.
This is, of course, not just a feature that hikers and outdoor adventurers will appreciate but anyone who has fitness goals and/or values a good night's rest. And I'm not alone in wishing for such a set of metrics. A quick peruse of popular forums reveals tons of other Apple Watch owners sighting such a metric as one of their top watchOS 12 requests.
Both of these metrics make it easier to plan your day. While the Apple Watch tracks a lot of data while you sleep, you need to take the time to digest these details for a full understanding. On the other hand, a numeric sleep score provides a big-picture view and can be absorbed at a glance.
An energy score — often based on recent workout efforts, sleep quality and other health trends — reveals just how ready you are to take on the day's challenges. For example, it might help you decide whether or not to embark on that 8-mile hike with 3,500 feet of elevation gain or instead stick to something a little less intense.
My irritation with having to jump between apps on the Apple Watch is noted above and this wish list item — also strongly requested for by fellow Apple Watch owners — follows the same theme.
The Maps app on Apple Watch offers turn-by-turn directions, which generally work quite well. You even get topographic map views and trail data including trail names and length (in some locations). However, there's no simple way — outside of jumping back and forth between apps — to view the Maps app or use its navigational tools while simultaneously monitoring your real-time metrics in the Workout app.
So, my third and final feature request for watchOS 12 is better integration between the Maps app and the Workout app. This small improvement would make a world of difference for folks who enjoy exploring the world one step at a time.
What features are you hoping come to Apple Watch in 2025 with the launch of watchOS 12? Let me know in the comments below.

Samsung Teases Z Fold Ultra, Bing Gets AI Video, and Nothing Sets A Date—Your Gear News of the Week

Plus: Ruark has new speakers, Photoshop comes to Android and summer's finest music player gets updated. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Bing has added a new AI-powered video generation tool to its mobile app, that's built on OpenAI's Sora text-to-video model. That's a feature that, even now, is exclusive to ChatGPT subscribers—but Bing users will get it for free. The vertical video creations are 5 seconds long but aren't generated instantly—once you type in a prompt, you'll get a notification when the video is ready. The Standard generation speed is free, but you'll also be able to access the 'Fast' option 10 times before you'll need to cough up 100 Microsoft Reward points to keep using it at that speed. You can share these videos anywhere, and they'll be stored in the Bing app for 90 days. The video generation wars have been heating up over the last year. Google debuted its Veo 3 model at Google I/O in May, with significant upgrades to quality. Chinese phone brand Honor also recently partnered with Google to add a feature that converted still images in the Gallery app into 5-second video clips through Google's Veo 2 model. With the ability to now generate videos at our fingertips, it'll make it easier than ever to share exactly what you're envisioning to a friend or loved one, but it'll be even harder to distinguish what's real and what's not. Nothing Sets a Date for Phone (3) and Headphone (1) London-based Nothing took a year-long break from its top-end smartphone line after it debuted the Phone (2) in 2023. In that time, it created the Phone (2a) in 2024, which went on to be one of the company's best-selling handsets. There's already a successor for those budget phones—the Phone (3a) series—but now it's time for a new flagship from the brand. The company announced this week that it will unveil the Phone (3) at an event in London on July 1 at 1 pm ET. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. We have a few details so far. The phone may not have the Glyph light interface on the back anymore, though it seems like Nothing has cooked up a new dot matrix light pattern instead. The company says it'll be its first true flagship phone with premium materials, and it'll have a high price to boot: somewhere around £800. But the spotlight won't just be on a new phone. This week, Nothing also shared that it will be entering 'a new product category" at the event with its first-ever pair of headphones. Creatively dubbed Headphone (1), it'll be Nothing's first over-ears, but follows a long line of wireless earbuds. Not too long ago, Nothing announced a partnership with iconic audio brand KEF. Perhaps these headphones will be the pair's first collab. Samsung Teases a Galaxy Z Fold Ultra Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is also expected to take place in July, and rumors abound that we'll see the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and even a Flip 7 FE—a cheaper version of the company's flip folding phone. But Samsung took time to tease something else: an Ultra variant of its folding phone. Or so we think. In a blog post on Samsung Newsroom, the company vaguely talks about a folding device that can match the capabilities of its existing Ultra phones, like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. What remains unclear is if the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 will offer an Ultra-like experience with no compromises, or if there will indeed be a dedicated Ultra version of that phone. Until now, there have been trade-offs between the Fold phones and Samsung's Galaxy Ultra phones, with the latter offering a nicer camera experience, better battery life, and other perks like the stylus. Perhaps Samsung has found a way to replicate the true Ultra experience on its next generation of the Fold. The company has a teaser video showing the silhouette of the Fold opening and closing. There have been rumors that Samsung is working on a tri-fold phone, like Huawei's version that nets you an even bigger screen when unfolded; you'd think if anything got the Ultra moniker, it'd be that device. We'll have to wait and see. Ruark's MR1 Mk3 Get Some Serious Upgrades The Ruark MR1 have been some of the best sounding, most stylish desktop stereo speakers you can buy at their price for over a decade. Now in their third generation, they have been rebuilt from the ground up, with the aim of improving sound quality, refining the hand-crafted design and adding in some great new features to make them even more versatile than before. This includes adding aptX HD playback for higher quality Bluetooth sound, a USB audio connection for easy high-resolution playback and a moving magnet phono stage for powering a turntable. The petite package is available now, and costs $579/£399. — Verity Burns — Verity Burns Photoshop for Android Is Here Adobe has finally released Photoshop for Android. No, this isn't Photoshop Express or Photoshop Touch—previous, largely failed attempts at bringing Photoshop to mobile. Photoshop for Android mirrors the version of Photoshop for iPhone released earlier this year. You can download the public beta for Android today. The mobile app has nearly everything you'll find in Adobe's desktop version, including layer-based editing and tools like masks, clone stamp, intelligent selection options, and all the tone and curve adjustment tools. The user interface is radically different, but Photoshop veterans will likely get the hang of the mobile version quickly. I've been testing the Android app for a couple of days now, and it's fairly impressive, but a few things are missing. The biggest for me is the ability to crop by pixels rather than ratio, which seems like a very odd limitation. Content-aware fill is also still "coming soon." Adobe has been heavily touting the AI features, which make it possible to do smart selections that would be difficult otherwise. I've found this feature works like on desktop (it relies on the same cloud backend), but I still don't have much use for it. — Scott Gilbertson Poolsuite V3 Has Your Summer Playlist Sorted "Throw your laptop out the damn window and drag that 1994 Kawasaki 750SX stand-up jet ski out of Uncle Pete's garage, because summer is officially here." This is how Poolsuite, possibly the finest curated music app for outdoor frivolity, announces the arrival this week not only of a throughly revamped and upgraded version of its already superb iOS media player, but also that it's finally available on Android as well. This perfectly judged throwback tone pervades throughout the app, which now adds hundreds of new tracks across seven channels, as well as mobile mixtapes to go with the aesthetic overhaul. Sun-drenched playlists lovingly curated to lift spirits and deliver virtual vitamin D for free. If you haven't downloaded it already, do so right now—and never worry about what tunes to play at a BBQ ever again. — Jeremy White The New Hublot Big Bang Unico Summer 2025 Continuing the summer theme in style is this new limited edition beach-ready Big Bang from Hublot. 'As light as a sea breeze with its featherlight ceramic,' says the brand, with a micro blasted 'orange case that glows like the golden hour.' Well, I tried it on at Watches & Wonders in April, and unlike some other darker hued versions of this watch, it's playful and thoroughly approachable, yet with 100 meters of water resistance is equally at home either at a pool party or in deep waters. A one-click system also allows the included three interchangeable white rubber-lined straps in sky blue, dark blue or orange to be swapped in a jiffy, and the 72-hour power reserve keeps things going when off the wrist. The price? $31,300 (£26,900) but only 100 will be released. — Jeremy White

visionOS 26: Everything we know about Apple Vision Pro's next major update

WWDC 2025 is right around the corner, and Apple is expected to dish out some big updates on its suite of devices — including the Apple Vision Pro. First and foremost, Apple's annual developer conference looks to shake up naming conventions for its software, so instead of visionOS 3, we could see visionOS 26 take over. And if Bloomberg's report is accurate, the next version of Apple's spatial operating system is set to be "feature-packed." We've seen how the Vision Pro headset has evolved over the years, including adding Apple Intelligence and more features with visionOS 2.4 and creating special immersive experiences like "Bono: Stories of Surrender" made for the Vision Pro. But Apple has more in the tank, and whatever is unveiled to arrive in the next visionOS update could give us a sneak peek at what's to come further down the line in other rumored headsets, like the Vision Pro 2 or Apple Glasses. Here's what to expect from visionOS 26 at WWDC 2025, including more Apple Intelligence features, eye-scrolling and an all-new Gaming app. As with iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 Tahoe, we expect to see visionOS 26 be announced during Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference, taking place from June 9 to June 13 (here's how to watch the Apple WWDC 2025 keynote). Since visionOS 26 has yet to be officially announced, we won't know when it will be released until it's revealed on stage. However, we can make a calculated estimate of when users can check it out. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Apple's first major update to its spatial computing OS, visionOS 2, arrived on September 16 — alongside other updates to its products. With this in mind, visionOS 26 is expected to be released in mid-September, which is when Apple traditionally brings out its updates. However, we can also predict that a visionOS 26 developer beta will arrive sometime in July. Since its launch, visionOS on the Vision Pro has always kept that Apple aesthetic, like a combination between iOS, iPadOS and macOS. Now, rumor has it the Cupertino tech giant will be making some design tweaks, but more importantly, its look is tipped to inspire a major interface overhaul for iPhone, Macs and more According to MacRumors, visionOS 26 will deliver some minor design changes to its user interface. Not much is known about what these changes could be, but it will hopefully bring a fresh coat of paint for cleaner, smoother navigation. Interestingly, iOS 26 is expected to get a massive UI redesign, along with iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26 and tvOS 26. This is apparently part of codename "Solarium," with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggesting it will bring "consistency and unification" across Apple's ecosystem. What's more, this design update is tipped to be inspired by visionOS. That means we may see more translucent backgrounds and potentially circular app icons. We won't know how this looks until it arrives, and while visionOS 26 may not see a significant design change, expect its look to drop on other platforms. This is the big one. The Apple Vision Pro does have its mix of VR/AR games, such as Vacation Simulator, Thrasher, Proton Pulse Vision and more, but it hasn't exactly expanded its venture into gaming like other headsets, like the Meta Quest 3. This may all change, as Apple will reportedly announce a new dedicated gaming app at WWDC 2025. It's expected to be a multi-platform app across Apple's devices, replacing the current Game Center service and making Apple Arcade titles and third-party games via the App Store more accessible. According to rumors, there has been a push from Apple to explore more of its gaming capabilities, with murmurs of its Gaming app looking to rival Xbox last year. This appears to be the case, and the Vision Pro is expected to take full advantage of it. A report from 9to5Mac indicates Apple is bringing VR controller support to its Vision Pro headset. Specifically, PSVR 2's Sense controllers. This would bring a new realm of gameplay to the headset, as for now it only includes hand tracking or Bluetooth gamepad, like the PlayStation DualSense or Xbox controller. We could see more exciting titles become available with controllers involved, such as Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil Village in VR, seeing as these titles have already made their way onto iPhone and Mac, and Apple has seemingly struck a good partnership with Sony. We may also see more VR or mixed reality experiences through Apple Arcade made for visionOS. We won't know for sure until it's announced, but Apple looks to have big plans in store when it comes to gaming, and it won't be leaving out the Vision Pro (and other spatial computing devices that may arrive). As per a Bloomberg report, Apple will bring an eye-scrolling feature to its Vision Pro headset. This adds to its built-in eye-tracking support, which already allows users to look at an app or element they want to interact with and use a hand gesture (thumb and index finger) to click on it. This could mean using your eyes to look up or down at a page you're seeing and having it automatically scroll, but using a method that's user-friendly that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable. This feature is set to be included in Apple's own apps, but there will be an API toolkit so it can be used in third-party apps, too. Thanks to visionOS 2.4, the Vision Pro has finally seen many Apple Intelligence features come onboard. Now, there's Writing Tools across apps for suggestions, rewrites and adjusting tone, Image Playground for generative AI image creation, Genmoji to create your own AI emojis, Smart Reply, AI-powered search in Photos and more. So, what else will arrive with visionOS 26? Well, considering the launch of Apple Intelligence didn't take off all too well and we have yet to see a more personalized Siri, we're hoping to see major improvements come our way. Since rumors point to Apple delivering unified integration across all of its products (there's now an Apple Vision Pro app on iPhone), there's reason to believe that any AI updates coming to iOS 26 will also come to visionOS 26. So far, this could include upgraded AI for Siri, third-party AI integration and the use of AI in more apps. What's more, there's word of an AI battery management feature, which would work well for the Vision Pro's battery. Apple Intelligence should be a big talking point at WWDC this year, and it would be a surprise to see visionOS 26 get left on the sidelines if all the other OS platforms receive updates. As for something we know will be arriving, Apple announced a wealth of accessibility upgrades for visionOS 26 that is set to arrive later this year. For Apple Vision Pro, these features include the following: The Apple Vision Pro hasn't been the tech giant's most popular product, mainly thanks to its $3,499 price tag. But as Apple looks to expand its venture into spatial computing, especially against upcoming competitors like Android XR, it needs to bring even more features for people to get excited about — especially if a Vision Pro 2 or lower-cost headset is on the cards. If visionOS 26 doubles down on Apple's gaming efforts, bringing support for VR controllers (or its own) into the fold and delivering a dedicated Gaming app that features some of the best VR/MR games around, then the Vision Pro will have a lot more going for it. It won't be long until we learn more about visionOS 26 and all of its updates, as WWDC 2025 is kicking off on June 9. Stay tuned.

The Best Tech Gifts for Father's Day 2025

Getting a gift for Father's Day (reminder: it's Sunday, June 15) is no easy task. What more could the dad in your life need other than your unconditional love? Turns out, physical gifts—preferably something useful or entertaining—are exactly what he needs to escape the hellscape that is our current timeline. Like we did for Mother's Day, we've curated a selection of the finest tech to get your favorite dad. With options for budgets under $100, under $300, under $500, and over $500, we're sure pops will like something from this list. Gifts Under $100 Anker 6-Foot USB-C Cable ($10) Nothing screams 'man of the house' like a 6-foot USB-C cable that can probably reach any outlet from the couch. For $10, you get two of 'em. Gotta keep the phone charged up when the commercials on the big screen hit. Buy at Amazon 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2 ($20) It'll feel wrong at first to use a PS5 controller to play Xbox and vice versa, but it beats buying a completely new gamepad when you can just pair existing ones to your consoles using this USB dongle. The 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2 even works with Switch, so dad can play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a PS5 or Xbox controller. Buy at Amazon Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company ($30) Whether dad loves Apple or hates it, the company's sheer scale producing devices like the iPhone and iPad unexpectedly gave birth to China's technology scene and helped give rise to its largest Asian competitors such as Xiaomi and Huawei. Apple in China is a fascinating dive into how Apple's growth has made the world go round. Buy at Amazon Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ($50) It's the talk of the gaming scene for good reason. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 offers a feast for the eyes and ears, and a wonderful story wrapped in gameplay that feels new while scratching the itch of any dad still nostalgic for early Final Fantasy titles. Buy at Amazon Arcs ($60) Leder Games' Arcs is the kind of board game that does so much in such a small space. It's a trick-taking conquest game about gaining space supremacy in the vein of 4X games on PC. If you want to make it extra spicy, also buy the Blighted Reach expansion to connect multiple games into epic, multi-session storylines. Buy at Amazon Anbernic 34XXSP ($67) Anbernic's latest Game Boy Advance SP mimic is the kind of device that will put a smile on the face of any dad who grew up with a Game Boy in tow. The 34XXSP is powerful enough to play most games from early handhelds, and even a select few games from the N64 or Dreamcast era. Buy at Anbernic SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence ($70) SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Life is one of those games that will get both the space-loving and mechanics-minded dads excited to sit at the table with you. It's a game that will run for several hours, but it ends with such an epic climax that everyone will be jonesing for another round anyway. Buy at Amazon Xbox Design Lab Controller ($80) That skin oil-worn controller he's using to play Xbox may work just fine, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't love an upgrade. Microsoft's Design Lab is full of unique customization options—from colors to patterns to grips and more. Buy at Xbox Gifts Under $300 Backbone One ($100) A quality mobile controller may be the perfect gift if he has ever complained about aching thumbs while trying to play a game on a phone. Our current choice remains the Backbone One, but if you want to spend more, the Backbone Pro is a good upgrade with tighter controls. Buy at Amazon Govee Gaming Pixel Light ($120) Your dad deserves to jazz up his decor beyond bland paintings you can find at a thrift shop. The Govee Gaming Pixel Light lets the man in your life add his favorite 8-bit art (32×32 pixels) to his wall. Buy at Amazon Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition ($120) Logitech's Lift is the go-to for vertical mice, but if your dad wants one for gaming, Razer's Pro Click V2 Vertical is the only way to go. Not only does it come with a more ergonomic design, but it also has more programmable buttons, faster polling rates for gaming, and RGB—gotta have RGB for dad to prove he's a real gamer. Buy at Amazon Nothing Ear ($130) There are a lot of wireless earbuds out there, but not everyone (dads included) is okay with defaulting to AirPods. Nothing's Ear, with its ceramic drivers, is fantastic for a dad who needs great audio with a style that's just a little bit different than most. Buy at Amazon Klipsch One Plus Premium ($170) Without making any assumptions about your dad, there's a chance that he may appreciate tech that's a little more analog. Klipsch's Bluetooth speaker brings great sound but also a slick mid-century design with knobs to boot—a design that combines modern tech with a vintage look. Buy at Amazon Lego Mario Kart ($170) What better way to spend time with a dad than over a Lego set? Even better is when that Lego set is a giant Mario riding a go-kart. 'It's-a-me-Mario!' voice not included. Buy at Lego Shun Classic Chef Knife ($170) This isn't the most high-tech product on this list, but it may be among the most practical. We can say with conviction that dad will never struggle with carving a bird ever again if you give the gift of Japanese steel. Buy at Macy's Polaroid Flip ($200) The Polaroid Flip is all nostalgia wrapped in a retro veneer, and it's now one of the better ways to take full-size instant photos at home. The camera is a hefty device, so dad may feel like a big, strong man lugging it around. Buy at Best Buy Flipper Zero ($200) The hardware-hacking dad in your life interested in his next DIY project would be absolutely thrilled to have the Flipper Zero. It's a signal multitool that can connect with various RFID and other radio protocols, plus the GPIO pins and custom firmware can be used to create a whole host of interesting use cases. Buy at Flipper Zero Boox Palma ($246) Kindles and Kobo e-readers are great for reading ebooks, but they don't fit into pockets. The Boox Palma is exactly the solution—a phone-sized e-reader that runs Android apps (though using it for anything more than ebooks is slow AF) that dad can actually grip with one hand. Buy at Amazon Meater Pro XL ($280) Grill dads who don't want to stand by the open flame constantly for every cookout will appreciate the Meater Pro XL. The device's four smart meat probes will let him monitor the temperatures and finish times for multiple meals through a single app, which means no more sprinting back and forth between oven and grill. Buy at Amazon Gifts Under $500 Meta Quest 3S ($300) Has your dad ever expressed any interest in VR, or even doing some at-home workouts? Set him up with the Quest 3S, and he won't need anything more. Buy at Amazon Philips Hue Play Sync Box ($334) If your dad needs an upgrade to his entertainment system, Philips' Hue Play Sync Box has him covered. This tiny box can coordinate the lighting of a movie with Hue smart lights and syncs TV content at 8K 60Hz and 4K 120Hz for a unique home theater experience. Buy at Amazon Google Pixel Watch 3 ($350) Everyone has an Apple Watch. Let dad feel different with the Google Pixel Watch. It tracks almost everything an Apple Watch does, including health and fitness, and the battery life is excellent. The only caveat is that it works with Android phones, not iPhones. Buy at Amazon Meta Ray-Bans ($350) Smart glasses might seem like an overboard gift if dad isn't tech-inclined, but Meta's Ray-Bans might be the right ratio of tech-to-style goodness. They have a classic look and are surprisingly nice for Bluetooth audio. Buy at Amazon Breville Paradice 9 ($395) Don't fault dad if his knife skills are subpar. Fortunately, a high-powered food processor like the Breville Paradice 9 can slice and dice just about any ingredient more evenly and faster. Technology saves time! Who'd have thunk it? Buy at Amazon Sony WH-1000XM8 ($448) Whether it's blocking out a crying baby or angsty teenager, Sony's latest WH-1000XM6 over-ear headphones deliver best-in-class active noise cancellation. Bonus points: they fold up neatly and come with a case that doesn't look like a bra (looking at you AirPods Max Smart Case). Buy at Amazon Gifts Over $500 Xreal One ($500) Maybe some lucky dads will get a $3,500 Apple Vision Pro for Father's Day, but if all dad needs is a pair of video glasses for watching Netflix and YouTube, Xreal's One is more than good enough and stupid easy to setup (just plug it into any device that supports USB-C video out). They're barely larger than a pair of sunglasses, the 1080p video is super sharp, and the screens even dim for a see-through effect. Buy at Amazon reMarkable Paper Pro ($680) If you're gonna get dad an e-reader and can splurge for the very best, the reMarkable Paper Pro is the one to get. It's got a color E Ink screen that's great for reading comics, supports a stylus for notetaking, and you can even get a keyboard folio case for it. Buy at Amazon
