Like every year, this September Apple will present its next generation Apple Watch model. Apple Watch Series 12 will likely have the same design language as the Apple Watch Series 11but with some changes. Let’s dive in.
New chipset
Apple only introduces a truly new chipset in the Apple Watch about every 3 years. We had the S6 chip in 2020 based on the A13 Bionic and the S9 chip in 2023 based on the A16 Bionic. Sure, there are chips in between, but in terms of new CPU cores, the S9 was the most recent update.
Now, with the Series 12, we expect improved CPU cores. It’s likely they’ll be based on some 3nm design, similar to the A19 chip, but we don’t know for sure.
Either way, if you’re someone who buys an Apple Watch and wants to keep it for a long time, the Series 12 might be worth it for the chipset alone.
Touch ID
There has been a new rumor about the Apple Watch Series 12 support for touch ID. Initially discovered by Macmundo through a code leaknow it looks like the feature may not happen.
TO critical concern of the company has been the fact that Touch ID could take away additional battery capacity or health functions. Never say never, but it seems like Touch ID is unlikely for the Apple Watch Series 12.
Health characteristics
Rumors have lightly touched on the possibility of a full blood pressure monitor, expanded hypertension tracking, and blood glucose monitoring, although there’s nothing concrete about what new health features are coming to the Apple Watch this year.
Wrap
Apple Watch Series 12 is expected to retain the same design language, screen sizes, and overall aesthetic as the Apple Watch Series 11. Of course, Apple could always introduce new colors and there’s always the possibility of new software exclusives.
However, with the current rumors, don’t expect anything particularly flashy.
