Apple Watch Series 12 review highlights new audio features, privacy concerns

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Apple Watch Series 12 introduces new audio intelligence features, including Siri Recaps and Live Rewind, which use the device's microphone for sound and speech analysis. These features, processed by the new S11 chip and Secure Exclave, aim to enhance privacy. However, they are not yet available to users, with a vague "later this year" release window. The review also highlights other upgrades like gesture support, a ceramic case, and improved battery life, alongside existing features like Shazam and Sound Recognition that now leverage the Secure Exclave.
