Apple has announced the Apple Watch Series 11, with improvements in performance and ease of use. The series 11 retains the powerful S10 chip that is still super fast and more energy efficient. In addition, the series 11 now also offers support for 5G.
The update for the Apple Watch Series 11 remains limited, because Apple already introduced a completely new design last year with the series 10. As a result, this generation focuses primarily on internal improvements instead of large external innovations.
Apple Watch Series 11 Unchanged Design
The Apple Watch Series 11 retains the same thin, flat design as the series 10 with rounded corners and comes in two sizes: 42mm and 46 mm. The LTPO3 OLED-War angle display is energy efficient and easy to read under different lighting conditions, without major changes in brightness or resolution. Thanks to an improved coating, the new Apple Watch is 2x scratch -resistant and stronger than the previous generation. The housing is available in aluminum and titanium, with new color options including spacer. Existing straps just continue to fit.
S10 chip for Apple Watch
The Apple Watch Series 11 runs on the S10 chip, based on the same architecture as the series 9, but with improvements for better performance and energy efficiency. This chip provides faster and smoother reactions in apps, improves the performance of Siri and makes more advanced AI functions possible, such as the Workout Buddy that can give real-time training feedback. Thanks to optimization, the battery life also lasts a little longer than with previous models, which is especially beneficial with intensive use.
5G Support
The Apple Watch Series 11 supports 5G connections for the first time. This means that the Cellular versions can connect with mobile networks more independently and more stable than earlier models with 4G, without this being at the expense of the battery life. The 5G connectivity ensures better performance when using apps, calling, streaming and notifications, when the iPhone is not nearby. This makes the Apple Watch Series 11 even more independent and more user -friendly en route. It is unknown whether Dutch providers will immediately support 5G.
Health functions and sensors
This year, the Cupertino company has added some new health functions to the smart watch. For example, the sleep function has been expanded with a sleep score and high blood pressure warnings. It is good to know that this function is not exclusively for the new Apple Watch. Furthermore, with this model you can also measure your oxygen saturation, create an ECG, measure your heart rate and get a warning with an unusually high, low or irregular heart rate. The Apple Watch Ultra also has advanced depth meter and GPS module.
Warning in abnormal blood pressure
The Apple Watch Series 11 has a blood pressure function that does not work with a traditional cuff, but uses sensors to monitor changes in blood pressure over a longer period of time. This function does not measure the exact blood pressure values ​​in real time, but detects trends and abnormalities such as a persistently higher blood pressure, after which the user receives a warning.
This works similar to existing health reports on the Watch, such as irregular heart rate, and helps users to become aware of possible hypertension early so that they can consult a doctor. Blood pressure function is therefore an additional health control tool, not replacement for medical equipment. Warning when deviating blood pressure is available on the Apple Watch Series 9 or newer and Apple Watch Ultra 2 Or newer.
Sleeping score
New is to receive a sleep score when you wear the Apple Watch in the night. With one well -arranged figure it is indicated how well someone slept well. This score is calculated based on the sleep data that the Watch collects, including the duration of the various sleeping stages such as light sleep, brake sleep and deep sleep. Sleep score is available in Watchos 26 for Apple Watch Series 6 or newer.
With colors around the number, the score visually shows how much time has been spent in each sleep phase. This function helps users to see at a glance how their night’s sleep was and provides insight into improving sleeping habits.
Other New Apple Watch functions
- New dials especially for the new Apple Watch models and also available on older generation
- Old bands remain usable
- Strongly improved battery life of 24 hours
Apple Watch Cellular
As in previous years, aluminum series 11 is released in a normal and cellular version. The Apple Watch Ultra and stainless steel Apple Watch contain standard support for mobile network. Odidio, KPN and Vodafone, among others, you can link your existing data subscription to the Apple Watch thanks to ‘Multisim’. This way you stay connected to the internet, even when your iPhone is not nearby. Whether other providers will connect this year is unknown.
