Alongside the Apple Watch Series 12, Apple announced the Apple Watch Ultra 4—a more rugged, high-performance counterpart designed for extreme environments and off-grid exploration.
The Ultra 4 features a refined Grade 5 titanium enclosure and a brighter LTPO3 OLED display. Powered by the S11 chip, it improves battery performance, accelerates Siri processing, and expands satellite connectivity for messaging and location sharing without cellular service. Health features gain non-invasive blood pressure trend detection, while the Oceanic+ app integration offers deeper tracking for divers and water sports enthusiasts.
