Watchos 12 coming! Here’s what we see in Apple Watch

Waiting is almost finished. In just a few days, Apple will unveil the latest features of the upcoming program to Apple Watch and the rest of its ecosystem, at its annual conference of developers all over the world (WWDC), On June 9 in Cobino, California. Although updates have already been completed, this does not mean that we cannot put some elements of the wishes of the universe and hope they will abide.

Competition for your healthy data has become fierce with competitors such as Google, OURA and Samsung tend more strongly in artificial intelligence training and preventive care, so this will be a good time to remind us of Apple why its smart watch is still at the top of the game that can be worn despite the decrease in sales. Apple Watch According to what was reported, sales decreased 19 % in 2024.

I have collaborated with Apple Watch users long ago and his CNET colleagues to collect the most required features that we hope to see in Watchos 12, along with some of the rumors we dug. We haven’t excluded FaceTime calls similar to the tool from your wrist yet, but since this is not exactly on the radar, we keep this list of wishes in the field of the possibility of 2025.

Improving the battery life

The long battery life may not look exciting as some glossy features in this list, but they easily win the popular competition between the editors (including me). We did not have a list of wishes when Apple Watch was launched a decade ago, but if we had, you will bet that the battery life was above – because this is the time we requested.

Scott Stein, CNET Editor, wants longer battery life and faster charging, especially if Apple wants people to really benefit from sleep tracking.

The dream scenario will be the Apple Watch and SE ordinary version of the same life of the battery for three days of Apple Watch Ultra 2. But programs alone cannot make miracles; He still has to work within the limits of the material battery. So we were settling for additional improvements and improvements to watch 12 How much is the price? Energy is used. This can come in the form of situations to provide the most intelligent batteries that automatically when the features of the energy are not required or a more efficient sleep time. The battery does not leave the battery depleted in the morning.

In advance of its developer conference, Google announced this Wearing OS 6 The battery life will enhance up to 10 percent. It is not a big jump, but it is welcome – a good reminder that the improvements are meaningful We are Possible through programs alone.

User interface modifications and customization

Apple has come a long way to allow us to customize the Apple Watch user interface, but there is still room for improvements. List of applications, for example, in urgent need to update. It is still limited to watching it as a network or a list and there is no way to organize applications through how they already use them. CNET Patrick Hollande Administration Editor suggests adding sorting options by favorite or most used to reduce endless pass to find what you need.

Other watches are still closed compared to other platforms such as Wear OS. It is a long -term request from Stein, which has been ordering the Watch Face store since the original Apple Watch review in 2015. We have have since got more Face Watch options with a customer interface and a customizable design, but you are still limited from the Apple molds.

The CNETH Anna Grargent editor also suggested more monitoring groups by artists from the actress -acting societies, similar to what the company did with the black unit silence at the beginning of the year.

This is more than rumors of the request, but it may be Apple Take a braid from Google And update the design of the entire Watchos interface. accident Bloomberg report by Mark Gourman It indicates that the Apple renewal can borrow items from the Vision Pro Headset operating system, Visionos. Design will focus on transparent bubbles, glass -like effects and the most softened beauty.

The gestures that go further

Apple has for the first time to control the gestures with Watchos 10, Series 9 and Ultra 2, and this feature has been gradually expanded since then. Now that we look like one -hand control, we are ready for more.

Jeff Carlson, the great writer of CNET, admitted that he was skeptical of gestures at the beginning: “Before I got a 10 series, I thought it was a doubtful addition, but I use it a lot (especially stopping the temporary) and I want to control more than just “highlighting the main control” or “scrolling down in the smart stack.”

I am there with him. I would like more gestures that exceed a double pump iphoneSince nine times out of 10, I am rushing from the door and hands full and I have no backup to click on the screen.

Apple Intelligence features

The Apple Watch is still free of artificial intelligence-and this may not be bad. The truth is, although the watch is powerful, it does not yet have the treatment muscle to deal with it Apple intelligence Tasks on their own. But this does not mean that it cannot tend to iPhone for some of the features that we like to see, making its way.

One of the best of it in my list? Genmoji. The ability to create your emoji on the fly seems to belong to your wrist. Apple has already brought Memojis and Animojis to the watch, so this is the next natural step that will bring more character to text messages or replace the need for the text completely.

While we are on the topic of Apple, the watch can benefit from a more intelligent approach to notifications. IPhone notification summaries are still successful or missed, but on a small screen it can actually be more useful if done properly. The current notification planning on the watch appears to be crowded, and it is difficult to separate the important alerts from the rest of the noise.

Random mail processing on the watch is another area that can use attention. “I would like to be able to delete and report random mail texts and call the way you can in the messages or phone on the iPhone – it is preferable to be directly from the notification,” says Carlson. Currently, preventing the sender at the watch requires several steps that defeat the purpose of rapid reactions on the wrist.

Smarted Siri

Siri was in a habit of having a welcome improvement (Series 9 and beyond). But even in a non -connection mode, Siri is not the bright bulb. Apple Voice Assistant is late for a long time to upgrade.

At least, it would be great to understand the requests for the first attempt. But because this is a list of wishes, why don’t you ask more? The most intelligent and more familiar responses in the context will make Siri more useful, especially if the assistant can take advantage of the new Apple intelligence tools. Please: Less number of website links as answers. I am not about to open a full web page on my wrist.

Customized exercises

I also hope that Apple Watch has a way for me to inform external factors such as weight or resistance that may affect exercise standards. This jogging can be or walk with a weighted jacket, which is in the case of a human child on harnessing, or pushing a vehicle while running.

Currently, there is no way to flared weight or resistance to exercise that exceeds your weight in the settings. So, instead, the clock assumes that I am outside the shape when the heart rate rises above the average because I am walking for long distances with an additional 35 lbs on my back. I would like to get additional calorie balances in the move ring, thank you very much.

More intelligent training for fitness and sleep

Apple Watch gives us a lot of training tools for heart rate areas, activity rings, VO2 MAX, and more. But converting all these data into a dedicated training plan still feels arduous. I would like to see a more intelligent and more active training system: something that can tell me, in an actual time, how many minutes I should aim to stay in every heart rate area to reach my goal. It is better to have a dynamic exercise plan that depends on the evaluation and energy levels on that day.

The same applies to sleep. It is good to see the stages of sleep, but what is supposed to do with this information? What is the ideal balance of ReM for deep sleep and how can I improve it?

Grargent also wants to see Apple Watch takes a signal from other wearable devices and provides energy and sleeping levels based on the data it collects.

The sleep coach will then help interpret data and provide concrete recommendations on how to improve toward recovery and energy. Not, reminding the current bedtime is not counted. This is just a glorious and very annoying warning in it.

The smartest vital and health training

We already see Apple collecting more healthy data together on the watch, thanks to the VITALS application, which combines standards such as heart rate, sleep, respiratory rate and skin temperature. But at the present time, it is still up to us to find out what this data really means and what we do with.

What next? Apple can take a similar approach to what you already do with heart rate notes. The watch is alerted when the heart rate is very high or very low – now imagine this type of proactive vision but for the total vitality.

Other wearable devices are already heading in this direction. For example, the OURA episode uses the radar of symptoms that can be learned when your body shows signs of stress, just as you may get sick. This is a kind of heads that fall on your wrist, the first thing in the morning can help you to plan for your day better and you may contact the disease to the office before withdrawing your colleagues at work with you.

Rumors have some of this smart training already. According to A report from Bloomberg Mark GormanApple works on the higher secret project symbol called “Project Mulberry”, which seeks to renew the healthy application through smart training and personal recommendations. Just do not make me pay for another subscription please.

We will discover what Apple already stores for us on June 10 through WWDC. Until then, there is nothing that prevents us from a big dream.
