Apple is expected to introduce watchOS 11 during the WWDC 2024 keynote. This update will also help celebrate the tenth anniversary of the original Apple Watch. Still, it doesn’t seem watchOS 11 will be a major update with tons of exciting new features.
In his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman said he expects “the watchOS 11 update to be fairly minor.” Although he doesn’t mention possible features or even a reason why Apple won’t focus on major software updates since it also expects great hardware changes with the Apple Watch Series 10, it’s possible that Apple is focusing its resources on other areas, such as a major iOS 18 update with AI features.
