What’s new in Apple Watch Series 11?
The three most exciting upgrades coming to the Series 11 –
1. New S11 chip
Apple claims that the Apple Watch 11 includes Apple’s new S11 chip. Although the S11 chip won’t make much of a difference in battery life, it will definitely enhance performance and Apple is promising to deliver WatchOS updates in the coming years.
2. Apple Watch will get 5G support for the first time
Apple is adding a 5G modem to its smart watch series for the first time, which is a step ahead of the existing 4G and 3G. You cannot expect fast speed like your iPhone from this watch, but health data will sync quickly. Apple Music songs will play without any interruption and the connection will be better even outside.
3. New blood pressure monitoring sensor
This feature is going to be very special for those who keep an eye on their health data. The new sensor will help you in these things.
- Real-time monitoring of blood pressure
- Getting alerts on high blood pressure
- Stress and health information
Which features are still missing?
Glucose monitoring
This feature is still in the development stage. It is expected that it will come in Apple Watch Series 12 or later models. Apple wants its readings to be completely accurate before launching it.
Oxygen sensor for blood
This feature is currently blocked in the US due to some legal hurdles. But Apple is trying its best to bring it back.
Expected Release Date
Apple usually launches its products in early or mid-September. This time too, news is coming that Apple Watch 11 will launch in September.

Should you upgrade?
If you are on a Series 9 or older model, you should consider upgrading as chips, sensors, and 5G have improved a lot.
It depends if you’re on the Series 10. If 5G connectivity and blood pressure tracking are important to you, consider upgrading.
