Apple has some significant changes in mind for both future versions of theApple Watch, and the software for existing recent models.Amid rumors that future Apple Watch models couldgain camerasandadditional health sensors, a new report suggests that software changes are also on the way.A new report fromBloombergsuggeststhat the Apple Watch won’t be gainingApple Intelligenceon its hardware directly. However,watchOS 12will be able todisplay resultsfrom the technology that is powered on a user’s other devices.While this alone would make the device even more useful, recent and future versions of the Apple Watch will also gain a new look from changes Apple has planned across its line of hardware. The device will reflect previous reports of interface and design changes coming to theiPhone, Mac, andiPad.According toprevious reports, watchOS 12 could inherit thevisionOS-inspired style changes planned foriOS 19and andmacOS 16. This would include semi-transparent and revamped menus, icons, and more.Previous rumors have said that while the Apple Watch itself will lack the hardware capabilities to run Apple Intelligence, some features — such as notification summaries — will be coming to watchOS 12. Further improvements, such as the long-promisedSirioverhaul, could be relayed to the Apple Watch via a user’s iPhone.It’s seen as unlikely that the Apple Watch will gain major hardware changes in the near term. Even so, previous reports have said that Apple is also looking into new designs for the product.One report has claimed that Apple could produce anall-glassApple Watch, while another has suggested a less-expensiveApple Watch SEthat would bemade of plasticor a similar material.
