These Apple Watches won’t be getting the watchOS 11 update

At the recently concluded Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple unveiled iOS 18 alongside watchOS 11, which adds lots of new and useful features. The upcoming update will be available for the latest Apple smartwatch models, but what’s interesting is that Apple is dropping support for three of its older smartwatches. These include the Apple Watch Series 4, Watch Series 5 series and the first generation Watch SE (1), the company’s first affordable smartwatch.

At the bottom of the watchOS 11 newsroom announcement, Apple says that the upcoming update “will be available this fall as a free software update for Apple Watch Series 6 or later paired with iPhone Xs or later, running iOS 18.”
