Apple Watch Ultra 2, SE 2 dropped from watchOS 17 support

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple is discontinuing support for two of its 2022 smartwatch models, the original Apple Watch Ultra and the SE 2, with the upcoming watchOS 17 update. This decision is surprising given that the iPhone 11 will still support the latest iOS 17. The reduced support for these relatively recent devices may be due to technical limitations imposed by new Apple Intelligence features, particularly those related to Siri, which might be too demanding for older hardware. Apple has since clarified that the Series 9 will be supported, despite initial confusion. AI

IMPACT Limited impact on AI operators; primarily affects Apple Watch users and developers targeting older devices.

RANK_REASON Product support lifecycle change for specific hardware models.
