Rumors say the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will launch next month with a new high-performance S-class chip (likely S11/S12) to power watchOS 27 and its Siri AI, marking a meaningful hardware upgrade after years of stagnant chips and enabling faster, AI-powered features.
Apple is prepping a September reveal for the next-generation Apple Watch lineup, including Series 12 and Ultra 4, prioritizing health and fitness improvements and faster processors over a major redesign. The devices are said to be in late-stage testing with a new high-performance chip, and rumors point to features like blood-pressure alerts; a Watch SE refresh isn’t planned this year, and Apple reportedly aims for a broader rethink of the Apple Watch in the coming year or two, with blood-sugar detection a longer-term goal.
Apple is expected to update the Vision Pro with a new chip (M4 or M5) and potentially introduce a space black version, following a design trend similar to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, though major external changes are unlikely.
SEI Robotics has teased a new reference box powered by the Amlogic S905X5 chip, which brings upgrades such as Dolby Atmos, eARC, and variable refresh rate. The chip is expected to have a 6nm manufacturing process, improving efficiency and potentially allowing for smaller, more powerful devices. The new chip may feature ARM's updated Cortex-A510 cores and a Mali-G310 GPU. It is unclear when devices with the new chip will be available, but it could be a good fit for a future Chromecast with Google TV.
