Everything Rumored for the 2025 Apple Watch Series 11

The Apple Watch is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and Apple is planning to release the next-generation Apple Watch Series 11 this fall. The new device may not be groundbreaking, but it could still bring some significant updates, including new modem technology from MediaTek that supports 5G RedCap, a 5G service designed for wearables. This could bring 5G connectivity to the Apple Watch, improving upon the existing LTE connectivity options. The Apple Watch Series 11 may also feature an updated S11 chip with a more compact and efficient design, which could lead to optimizations in battery life and additional space for a larger battery or other components. Apple is also working on a blood pressure monitoring feature, which could launch in 2025 models, although development issues may cause delays. The feature would not provide exact blood pressure measurements but would instead monitor for hypertension and alert users if the condition is detected over time. The watchOS 12 update, set to launch in September, will bring some design changes to the Apple Watch Series 11, including visionOS-like design elements and new interface features. Apple is also planning to introduce AI-powered health coaching features, including personalized health recommendations and food tracking, which would be available in an updated Health app. The Apple Watch Series 11 may not feature a major redesign, as previously rumored, and it's unclear if the device will include blood oxygen monitoring, which was removed from Apple Watch models in the US due to patent violations. The pricing for the Apple Watch Series 11 is expected to start at $399, although new tariffs on semiconductors could potentially increase the cost.
