Apple is delaying the rollout of hypertension notifications for the Watch Series 12 in India, with the feature expected to arrive next year. The company is still moving forward with the device launch in the country, but the health notification capability is not included at launch.
Both outlets report that Apple opens pre-orders for the Watch Series 12 across multiple markets, including India. In India, the watch is scheduled to be available in stores from September 18, with a starting price reported at Rs 56,900. Other details shared by the sources indicate the Watch Series 12 includes upgraded health and fitness tracking and is described as offering up to 24 hours of battery life.
The sources differ mainly in emphasis: Business Line highlights the specific delay of hypertension notifications and the related launch timeline, while NDTV focuses more on pre-order availability, the India store date, and the starting price. Neither source provides additional technical or regulatory reasoning for the delay beyond stating the feature will be postponed.
