What to Expect from Apple's Upcoming Watch Series 11 - Jordan News

Apple is preparing to launch its next-generation smartwatch, the Watch Series 11, which is expected to feature cutting-edge technologies and compete strongly with the best smartwatches currently on the market in terms of performance and specifications. اضافة اعلان Faster Processor Leaks suggest that the new Apple Watch models will be powered by the improved S11 chip, offering significantly faster performance and more efficient data processing. These processors are also expected to reduce battery consumption, extending the watch's daily usage time. Updated Modem Chip The Watch Series 11 is expected to come equipped with new modem chips from MediaTek, enabling faster connectivity with 5G networks. It will also support 5G RedCap, a low-power 5G service designed specifically for wearable devices that don't require full-scale 5G speeds. Blood Pressure Alerts Apple is working on integrating blood pressure monitoring into its smart devices, and this feature is expected to debut with the Watch Series 11. The watch will monitor the user's blood pressure and alert them in case of elevated readings. Users can also share this data with their doctors, similar to how the watch currently detects atrial fibrillation as an early warning system. New Features with watchOS 26 The upcoming watches will run on watchOS 26, which will bring a variety of new features. These include: Sleep quality tracking 'Wrist Flick' gesture control, which allows users to dismiss notifications simply by flicking the wrist wearing the watch A new Notes app that syncs all notes directly with the paired iPhone Redesigned App Icons Just like with recent iPhone updates, the Watch Series 11 will introduce the Liquid Glass design for its user interface, giving app icons a sleek, transparent look that enhances visual appeal.

Apple Watch 11 — here's the 5 biggest rumored upgrades

We only have a month left to go until Apple's expected to launch the Apple Watch Series 11 at its September event. Thanks to plenty of Apple Watch Series 11 leaks, we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the next premium Apple timepiece. While the watch's design itself isn't expected to change much, the recently announced watchOS 26 promises to overhaul its look and feel as well as introduce several new features. Don't expect any new sensors, as Apple says its long-awaited non-invasive blood glucose monitoring is still "many years away." Though we can be sure it'll show off some handy new features powered by Apple Intelligence. We'll have to see whether that'll be enough for Apple's lineup to make the cut for our best smartwatches ranking. With the clock winding down before its big reveal, we're rounding up all the biggest Apple Watch Series 11 upgrades that have been rumored so far. Just because the Apple Watch Series 11 isn't getting a design overhaul doesn't mean there aren't a few hardware upgrades in store. Apple upgrades its processor with every smartwatch release, so we expect to see an updated S11 chip, which could improve performance and battery life. Apple's latest smartwatches could get a serious new connectivity improvement too. The Apple Watch Series 11 lineup is rumored to pack new modems from MediaTek with 5G RedCap support, which could finally let Apple's wearables ditch LTE connectivity for 5G. Satellite connectivity could be coming for the rugged Watch Ultra 3 as well, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. As we said, easily the biggest upgrade coming to the Apple Watch Series 11 is the new watchOS 26. The latest software adds plenty of new features to play with, like Wrist Flick gesture controls, which make dismissing notifications and alerts as easy as, well, a flick of the wrist. It seems so simple and intuitive, I'm surprised it took Apple over 10 years to implement it. Then there's the Workout Buddy, which is sure to prove popular. Apple's new personalized exercise coach helps you make the most of your workouts by providing tips, analysis, and motivation. It even sounds like a personal trainer is right there with you, cheering you on, because it uses an AI model trained on voice data from real Apple Fitness Plus trainers. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. WatchOS 26 also brings a long-requested feature to Apple smartwatches: Notes app support. All of your existing notes automatically sync to the app for easy viewing, but unfortunately, "viewing" is all you can do. You still won't be able to edit notes with your Apple Watch, though you can start a new one using the screen's tiny keyboard or audio dictation. Those curious can download the watchOS 26 beta right now for a test run. While you're at it, be sure to check out our full round-up of watchOS 26 features we can't wait to try. At long last, Apple seems to be developing a sleep score feature for Apple Watch. Code found in iOS 26 suggests the Watch Series 11 could algorithmically monitor and rank the user's time spent and quality of sleep. It's a feature already found on many of the best smartwatches, but it'll be interesting to see Apple's spin on it. Especially given that many of Apple's existing health features, such as sleep apnea detection, are either backed by clinical research or cleared by the FDA. It's possible Apple's sleep score will take multiple health metrics into account, similar to what we saw with the Vitals option introduced with watchOS 11. The Watch Ultra 3 is said to be Apple's first wearable to support blood pressure monitoring. While it's not the first smartwatch on the market to do so (Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3 can also track your blood pressure), Apple's implementing this new feature in a pretty ingenious way. Rather than providing an exact figure on diastolic or systolic measurements like you get with an on-the-arm cuff, this will work more like the sleep apnea detector to let the wearer know when their blood pressure starts creeping up. Once the user is notified about hypertension, the watch can give that information to a medical professional for additional testing. Just like other Apple Watch features that provide an early warning system for potential health concerns. Finally, the Watch Series 11 is set to bring iOS 26's biggest (and most divisive) selling point to Apple's line of wearables: liquid glass. Like the name would suggest, the liquid glass interface gives apps a translucent finish devoid of color, letting on-screen elements behind it bleed through as if seen through glass. You can already test out how liquid glass looks with the watchOS 26 beta. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Apple Watch Series 11 vs Galaxy Watch 8: Main differences to expect

How would the two wearables compare? New 5G modem and S11 chip on Watch 11 New health features on Watch 11 (hypertension) and Galaxy Watch 8 (glucose monitoring) (glucose monitoring) watchOS 26 with new looks on the Apple Watch, Wear OS + One UI 8 Watch on the Samsung wearable Potential new squircle redesign for the Galaxy Watch 8 42/46mm versions of the Apple Watch 11 , 40/44mm versions of the Galaxy Watch 8 , 40/44mm versions of the Similar ~one-day battery life on either wearable Expanding Galaxy AI features to health features Presently, the rumor mill is keeping mum on any major changes that might arrive to the Apple Watch Series 11 . This is why we largely expect the Watch Series 11 to be similar to what we saw on the Watch Series 10, so we will get the same-ish looking Apple Watch, just a slightly thinner as its predecessor. This means the same general Apple Watch design, with a slightly rounded display sloping toward the case, a digital crown and a flush button on the right-hand side of the device. You will be able to get this one in either aluminum or titanium, depending on which option you go for. That's okay: wearables seldom score major redesigns. But actually, it's the Samsung wearable that you have to watch out for. If the rumor mill is to be believed, Samsung could be exploring changing the design language of the Galaxy Watch 8 from its standard circular one to a more squarish one, leading up to a squircle-shaped wearable. There's already a recent precedent: the not-terribly-original Galaxy Watch Ultra employed such a shape. A squircle shape would possibly allow Samsung to fit slightly more hardware inside, as the inner space wouldn't be that constraining. For example, we might see a slightly larger battery, which is always welcome. Currently, we don't expect the Galaxy Watch 8 to score a rotating bezel: that's reserved for the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, which is also coming alongside the Watch 8. The wearable will lcome in two versions: 40mm and 44mm ones, with a 1.3" and 1.47" screens respectively. Peak brightness is expected to gravitate around 2,000 nits, but could be upgraded. Rumors say Galaxy Watch 8 will likely come in graphite, gray, and silver colors, which honestly all sound like the exact same thing. We don't know what specific colors the Apple Watch 11 will be available in, but Silver and Jet Black are likely a given.
