Apple is reportedly working on a visionOS-like redesign for its upcoming watchOS version, bringing a bolder look with floating aesthetics. The new interface will feature refreshed buttons, menus, and icons. However, details are scarce, as the features are still in development.
Another rumored update is Apple Intelligence, which will allegedly arrive first on the Apple Watch Ultra. This feature requires 8GB RAM, but current Apple Watches only have 1GB RAM. Notable features include notification summaries, Genmoji creation, and an AI-powered “new Siri” that leverages data from sports activity, medical monitoring, and other tracking capabilities.
The Verifier’s claims come with a warning label, as the site has not always delivered accurate rumors. In the past, it predicted iOS 18 would feature a visionOS redesign, which didn’t materialize, and other updates did not pan out as expected.
