Apple has introduced the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, highlighting a faster S11 chip and expanded health capabilities. Wired and NDTV both describe the updates as centered on improved health sensing, while Wired also notes that enhanced Siri capabilities are a key part of the lineup.
The Verge reports a U.S. launch date of September 18, with preorders available starting the day of the announcement. Times of India adds that in India the models are priced from Rs 56,900 for Series 12 and Rs 1,09,900 for Ultra 4, with sales also starting September 18 and preorders opening that day. Times of India further specifies that the redesigned health sensors read heart rate every five seconds and introduce a daily Readiness score, with certain “Audio Intelligence” features arriving later.
Across outlets, the main differences are emphasis and regional detail. Wired and The Verge focus on announcement-to-hands-on coverage and general feature highlights. NDTV emphasizes additional watchOS capabilities, including workout and sensing improvements, as well as the return of a ceramic case option for Series 12 and battery improvements for Ultra 4.
